The 15 next big things in dining, around the world
Restaurants sober up
Speaking of Marguerite, that Singapore eatery has recently got on board with a global trend towards 'temperance travel', that is, alcohol-free adventures. Plenty of restaurants around the world now are pushing things well beyond kombucha for those hoping for interesting non-alcoholic drinks to pair with their meals. Denmark's Geranium is a leader, presenting a 'Fruit and Vegetables' drinks pairing. Restaurant Frantzen in Stockholm has a similar offering, while Los Angeles fine diner Meteora is also a star. In Singapore, meanwhile, some 40 per cent of guests at Marguerite opt for a fully non-alcoholic or mixed pairing, taking advantage of a selection of clarified juices that the team says offer the same depth and complexity as wine. For example, caramelised Gala apples with verjuice and celeriac, infused with oak chips, to resemble a light chardonnay. See marguerite.com.sg
The Philippines gets starry-eyed
Filipino food has been having a moment for a while now. This, in Australia at least, is due in large part to chef Ross Magnaye, whose elevated Filipino eatery Serai has made a real splash on the Melbourne scene. The Victorian capital now has a whole swag of exciting Filipino restaurants, from the down-home but tasty GJ's Grill, to grocer-cum-diner Ceree, to refined eatery Askal. Prepare yourself, however, for even more attention on cuisine from the Philippines because next year the country is getting its first Michelin guide. The French dealers of the coveted stars will cover Manila and Cebu, with reviews and stars set to be unveiled in the last quarter of 2025. See guide.michelin.com
Chile v Argentina
There's always been rivalry between neighbours Chile and Argentina, a battle mostly fought on the football field, though the countries' wineries are also friendly competitors. Each nation has its signature grape – in Argentina it's malbec; in Chile it's carmenere – not to mention spectacular scenery in its key regions. And now, even its cellar doors are locked in competition, with an impressive array of high-end facilities matching it with the big guns of France and Spain. The most recent World's Best Vineyards list included an impressive four Chilean and six Argentinean wineries in its top 50 (Australia scored two: d'Arenberg and Magill Estate). The highest placed of those was VIK in Millahue, Chile, at No.2. So who is the real winner? You. See argentina.travel; chile.travel
Big openings in Tokyo
Tokyo is about to get two huge new culinary precincts. This year, both the Takanawa Gateway and Blue Front developments will be going through staggered openings. Set just a short distance apart in southern Tokyo, within striking distance of Haneda Airport, Takanawa Gateway and Blue Front are multi-building complexes featuring high-end hotels (a JW Marriott in the former, Fairmont Tokyo in the latter) as well as significant food and beverage offerings opening throughout the year. The Fairmont alone will offer three levels of restaurants and bars. See gotokyo.org
Margaret River dines out
Which Australian wine region has the best dining? Is it Mornington Peninsula, with Tedesca Osteria, Ten Minutes by Tractor, Laura and Many Little? Maybe. Though perhaps it's the Barossa, with Hentley Farm, Fino, Appellation and Orleana? Though, don't forget Margaret River. At the recent WA Good Food Guide Awards, 'Margs' restaurants picked up a swag of honours; new restaurant of the year went to De'sendent in Margaret River town; regional restaurant of the year was won by winery Voyager Estate; and regional chef of the year went to Vasse Felix's Cameron Jones. These awards recognise the rich culinary scene in one of Australia's premier wine regions, and with direct flights from both Melbourne and Sydney to Busselton, now's the time to check it out. See westernaustralia.com
Star chefs take flight
There's a trend worldwide for high-end hotels and resorts to welcome guest chefs for a few days or even a week to cook up a storm. In Australia, Kittawa Lodge on King Island will this year welcome two chefs doing three-night stints: Rosheen Kaul, author and contributor to Good Food; and Stephen Nairn, a finalist for Good Food Guide chef of the year in 2022 and 2023. Elsewhere, the Anantara Veli Maldives has a series of seven guest chefs arriving this year; the Datai Langkawi, Malaysia has Michelin-starred chefs visiting throughout 2025; and The Loren in Bermuda has James Beard Award winners arriving throughout the summer. See kittawalodge.com; anantara.com; thedatai.com; thelorenhotels.com
First Nations wine on the list
So much of a visit to Uluru is about learning how traditional owners connect with country, so it's great to see those owners featured on a wine list. Ayers Rock Resort has recently added two First Nations-owned wineries to its restaurants' selections: Munda Wines and Mt Yengo Wines. These wineries join Indigenous-owned companies Jarrah Boy, Beachtree Distilling Company and Yaru Water on the beverage list. In Perth, meanwhile, the Ritz-Carlton's in-house restaurant Hearth has teamed up with roving foodie collective Fervor to offer some incredible culinary journeys, including a guided tour of the traditions and bush tucker of Bardi Jawi Country in the Kimberley by chef Paul Iskov. See ayersrockresort.com.au; ritzcarlton.com
Josh Niland swims north
Sydneysider Josh Niland would have to be Australia's most exciting chef right now, an endlessly talented cook who has revolutionised fish cookery worldwide, while also winning three hats in the 2025 Good Food Guide at his flagship eatery, Saint Peter. Niland also runs Fysh, a Singapore fine diner, and now he's popped up on Hamilton Island, with the opening of Catseye Pool Club, a beachside bistro at the new The Sundays hotel. At Catseye, Niland presents a menu focused on local produce – hand-caught coral trout, CopperTree Farm beef, eastern rock lobster – served family-style, with all the trimmings. Think of it as the best beachside barbecue you've ever been to. See hamiltonisland.com.au
German fine dining? It's real
You can have your laughs about German food. It's all pretzels and sausages, it's not a meal unless it's served with a beer. But you're missing out because German fine dining is a thing, and it's very, very good. Exhibit A: check out Berlin, which has a thriving dining scene that includes a three-Michelin-star restaurant (Rutz), as well as two that have made the most recent World's 50 Best list: Restaurant Tim Raue (No.30) and Nobelhart & Schmutzig (No.43). Bizarrely, however, the world's best German fine diner might just be in Bangkok. There, Suhring, run by brothers Thomas and Mathias Suhring, serves up intelligent, refined German cuisine in the gorgeous surrounds of a 1970s villa. If this is the future of German food, it's in good hands. See restaurantsuhring.com
Devour Tours: the little company that could
We love to see an underdog succeed, and Devour Tours is a true underdog in a world of giant travel players. The company was founded in 2012 by Lauren Aloise, an American expat who wanted to show tourists around Madrid's markets. Devour Tours now offers food tours and experiences in 18 cities in nine countries across Europe and North America, and it has stayed true to its original ethos, introducing visitors to niche producers and local-favourite bars and restaurants. If you're travelling through one of those 18 cities, steer clear of the big players and give Devour a try. See devourtours.com
Cantonese gets respect
What is Cantonese food? To plenty of Australians it's raucous yum cha on a weekend, and baine-marie sweet and sour pork. It's a pleasure, in that case, to see the high-end side of Cantonese cuisine finally being recognised. At the recent announcement of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants, Hong Kong establishments The Chairman and Wing took out second and third place respectively. Both serve refined Cantonese cuisine, and had previously been included in the World's 50 Best list. Hong Kong's bar scene is also thriving, and the city will host the World's 50 Best Bar awards in October. See discoverhongkong.com
Get off the bus for vineyards
Loading
Bus tours of wineries are so last year. Or maybe a few years ago. There's been a growing trend among tour companies for more active explorations of the world's most famous wine-producing regions. Australia-based company uTracks in particular has noticed a swell in interest in its Vineyard Trails and Wine Region Walking Tour travel offerings. These trips include multi-day, self-guided walks through the likes of Bordeaux, the Loire Valley, Piedmont and the Douro Valley, as well as self-guided cycling trips through Champagne, Burgundy, Alsace, the Rhine Valley and more. The idea of these trips is to take things slow, to immerse yourself in the culture and pace of these regions, explore the backroads, connect with locals and get a little exercise while doing it.

The moment lunch with Tim Wilson turned into an ambush
Wilson's tanned skin turns a deeper shade. I notice our unexpected guest has a plastic loop on her mobile phone case around her middle finger, making it very easy to film us as she fires questions. She's feisty, but her hands are trembling slightly. 'You want nuclear in Australia, and you are a Zionist?' she asks for a third time, not waiting for an answer. 'And you want people killed, and you want babies killed?' Wilson tells her that he is having lunch, and this is grossly inappropriate. Nevertheless, she persists – for a full five minutes. This being Brighton, a well-do-to suburb south-east of Melbourne's CBD with a strong sense of self-worth (think Mosman in Sydney), the discourse soon turns to housing. Our anti-Wilson activist is bitter that her daughter and granddaughter ('who went to Brighton Primary') were forced to move two hours away because of housing affordability. She also says Wilson was invisible on the streets of Goldstein. The antagonists start to align on criticism of the Victorian state Labor government's massive underinvestment in local education. The temperature calms. Wilson masterfully suggests a visit to the local state MP, James Newbury, just down the road. But he can't help himself, slyly querying if bowling up and filming people without permission and verbally abusing them is really the best way to win friends and influence. 'No, no, I do need to do more letter writing, yes,' is her withering rejoinder. A man at the next table decides enough is enough and in a thick European accent tells the local activist to move on. She disappears down the side street. 'Save my love to Zoe,' is Wilson's slightly garbled postscript to break the tension. It's a joking reference to teal independent Zoe Daniel, from whom he has just regained the affluent seat with a significant Jewish community situated on Port Phillip Bay. Wilson asks his cafe neighbour for validation – he is indeed a recognised local face. 'I don't know who you are,' the man replies. 'I just don't like people bothering each other.' The whole thing was excruciating. Who would be a politician? Tim Wilson, that's who. Wilson is 45, a Liberal, and a liberal, one-quarter Armenian, a happily married gay man, carrying a few extra kilos but, frankly, for someone who has just engaged in a gruelling election campaign, a man with pretty great skin. 'It's politics, right,' Wilson says a short time later between mouthfuls of the cafe's signature Abundance Bowl, an enormous pile of salad greens, sweet potato, quinoa, seeds and a fried egg, to which he has deleted the halloumi and added not just avocado but pan seared salmon. He ordered it almost every day of the campaign. I have the similar salmon bowl. The flavour mix is terrific, the mouthfeel excellent. But wine is waved away – it's a Monday – in favour of a double espresso, which sits largely untouched. Today Melbourne feels on the precipice of winter. It is allegedly going to reach 18 degrees, but locals are mistrustful. One passer-by is in a puffer jacket, the next in T-shirt and shorts. Wilson is wearing his campaign uniform: jeans, blue blazer, a crisp shirt, bright-yellow pin lapel. And to be fair, during our 90 minutes together, 14 well-wishers come up to congratulate him. Earlier in our conversation, he says going from civilian life to winning an election and straight into the shadow ministry is 'feeling like you're being shot out of a catapult and haven't quite hit the ground yet. Still from election night there are SMS that I haven't even read. It is not an unwillingness, it's a simple incapacity.' I want to know about winning – and losing. 'I can tell you there are two winnings,' Wilson says. For him, nothing beat the feeling of winning his first preselection in 2016 after Liberal veteran Andrew Robb had retired. 'Everybody expected me lose', but Wilson went all in, resigning from his post as human rights commissioner just to contest. 'Bold,' I venture. 'Bold, but welcome to Tim Town,' he agrees, opening his hands as if to demonstrate 'voila!' – but only for a split second. 'I remember that adrenaline rush, and also quite frankly shock.' This time, victory was not a shock but rather 'a mountain to climb'. At which point he turns to losing. 'Pretty much from the last election day I had a personal and professional purgatory. It feels violent,' he says, describing the post-loss businesslike phone call from the bureaucracy to losing MPs. 'You're out, this person's in, pack up the office, sort that out – bang, bang, bang, bang. 'All of a sudden nothing – and you are out.' A lot of people were very worried. A psychologist friend suggested a chat. He went. 'Part of it is just to vent and get things off your chest,' he says. 'And somebody to listen. I found that very helpful.' The morning after the loss, his husband, Ryan Bolger, a school teacher, told him: 'You can look at this as the moment that ends you – or you can look at this as a gift.' His purpose taken away from him, the couple left Goldstein so Wilson could find his space and his place, moving back to their old apartment in South Yarra, where Wilson undertook a PhD in the carbon economy. 'I don't find making money something that excites me,' he says. His voice quickens in summary mode: 'It's an awful, horrific experience. But anyone who experienced a big professional setback will know those experiences. The difference is you do it in full public glare. And of course, you are known for the last thing you did.' Which in his case, was to lose. The 2025 Goldstein campaign was controversial. The very morning of our lunch, Daniel was on ABC radio talking about dirty tricks and a personal campaign directed at her. Wilson says the campaign was intense. 'We both had very passionate supporters. No one's trying to pretend otherwise.' As to her accusations about attacks on her from groups supporting Wilson, he sits there, anger clearly rising. 'I'm really resisting in light of the difficult circumstances she is facing and living right now – fighting back.' One political commentator describes Wilson as 'charming but very egotistical'. I realise I have known him for a decade, back when I was media editor at The Australian and he was a member of the free market think tank the Institute of Public Affairs and had a higher profile than many Liberal MPs. For Wilson, liberalism – the philosophy that promotes individual rights and freedoms – is the foundation of society. 'I hate the term 'moderate', because my liberalism doesn't come in moderation. I believe in that very strongly,' he says. 'I think what people are used to is this kind of idea that you have these kind of moderates who don't fight, and then they have these conservatives who fight very aggressively, whereas I'm somebody who fights very aggressively and not afraid to.' Which included contacting The Age at 3.45am one morning to protest at one aspect of the paper's coverage, which he is a little sheepish about, explaining he couldn't sleep that night. 'I don't particularly enjoy a fight, but I definitely enjoy a crusade and to be able to go and achieve change,' he says. 'I'm also not afraid of failure.' Wilson played a key role in defeating Labor's policy to change capital gains tax under Bill Shorten; now he is fighting against Labor's proposed tax changes on superannuation. I ask if there could ever be a gay leader of the Liberal Party (subtext – him). 'It's yet to be tested,' he says. 'I don't feel anyone is sitting there thinking this is an insurmountable barrier to anybody. 'There's a time where my relationship with my husband would have found me in gaol, and now it finds me, frankly, barely able to tick a diversity box.' How did the couple – who married in 2018 – meet? 'We actually met at Liberal Party State Council.' 'How romantic,' I reply. Here, Wilson looks down to apparently study his lunch and says something softly to himself. It occurs to me that Wilson might be more confident attacking Labor's superannuation policy than discussing affairs of the heart. But he reasserts himself, not pretending it was the most romantic of settings. 'It wasn't, but nonetheless it is what it was.' Ryan and he have common values, he says, brightening. 'As he says, at least he knew what he was getting himself in for.' Wilson admires Margaret Thatcher, has a poster of Ronald Reagan on his wall, and loves Milton Friedman 'because he explained economics with a charm and a smile'. He name-checks two little known political women, Pauline Sabin, who fought against prohibition, and Katharine Stewart-Murray, a distant British relative, who tried to topple her own prime minister, Neville Chamberlain, over his appeasement of Adolf Hitler in 1938. 'I like Menzies a lot as well because, in the end, he's a man of rebirth, and perhaps like me, he's a man who failed first,' Wilson says with a smile.

Life-changing windfall for unknown $70 million Oz Lotto jackpot winner
A search is on to find the second-largest Oz Lotto winner in the lottery's history after an unknown player won $70 million. A single Division One winning ticket was bought in Victoria for the June 3 draw, the national lottery said. But the winner possibly went to sleep without knowing they had won a life-changing sum of money, as they hadn't registered contact details with The Lott. "While we are unable to confirm the win with tonight's winner, we can guarantee that when they discover the news, it's sure to be met with a hefty mix of shock and excitement," The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said. READ MORE: Where are Powerball's millionaire hotspots? "The Victorian entry was purchased online, unfortunately, we don't have their complete contact details, so we are unable to make a mind-blowing phone call to them this evening," he said on June 3. The winning numbers for the Oz Lotto draw 1633 were 44, 34, 45, 1, 46, 25 and 21, with the supplementary numbers 9, 14 and 16. "In addition to finishing the financial year with $70 million, this elusive winner goes down in Victorian history books with a prize only surpassed by the state's two previous $80 million wins," Mr Hart said.
