Whether it's a traditional cultural event or a personal milestone, food is often an integral part of the celebration. Food also plays a central role in social and family gatherings, which is why we believe it's important to pick the right restaurants when dining out with friends or loved ones.
Eating good food can also be a sensory experience that engages multiple senses at once. The sight of a beautifully presented dish, the sound of a sizzling steak on the grill, the smell of freshly baked bread – all of these things can contribute to the pleasure of eating good food. This January, enjoy the best of food and drink from this curated list for the Year of the Rabbit.
