Eating out at a restaurant is a treat that many of us enjoy on occasion. It is an opportunity to go out and taste the exotic, trying things that you wouldn't normally have or know how to cook.
We wanted to have a look at some of the most amazing dishes that you can order, there are so many different types of food around the world and we are lucky to be able to experience part of a country's heritage in a restaurant.
We are going to start with some Asian Cuisine, in a recent online survey Asian food came out as the most popualr choice amongst the respondents answers. There are so many different areas in Asia where the cooking styles are very distinct that we looked for pictures to try and highlight different styles of cooking.
The image below is taken from the world famous Nihonryori RyuGin restaurant in Tokyo. It recently came 28th best restaurant in the world and as you can see from the image they are veru much into their presentation.

Perhaps some of the nicest comfort food in the world would be mexican food, generally quite heavy with a bit of spice but overall delicious.
