Despite its position in the renowned Gulshan neighborhood, Izumi, which means'spring' in Japanese, is a quiet oasis among the buzzing, bustling Dhaka. Guests can dine in the sophisticated and modern restaurant, which is located in a beautiful courtyard. One of the few fine-dining restaurants in Dhaka, and the only Japanese restaurant with a Japanese chef on staff. They offer a nice garden and patio for al fresco dining, as well as plenty of seating inside in a modern environment. They fly in tuna from Tokyo's Tsukiji Market at least once a week, import the majority of their raw materials, and work primarily with very high-end and quality-conscious local suppliers.

Izumi is authentically Japanese, with bonsai trees, a rock garden, and a waterfall, as well as artwork by local artist Ashraful Hasan on the exterior walls. Inside, the restaurant is wide and softly lighted, and diners may order traditional Japanese fare like sushi, sashimi, and tempura, as well as dishes like yaki spit-roasted scallops and grilled raw eel with sweet eel sauce that are a touch out of the ordinary. Try the teppanyaki steak wagyu, which comes with 200 grams of Australian wagyu beef, vegetables, rice, and dipping sauce.

The high-end eatery offers a strong and inventive menu that combines traditional Asian recipes with modern ingredients. Wherever feasible, ingredients are found locally, with high-quality meats imported from Australia.

The 8's food has taken on a notable Thai flavor since the appointment of chef Luam, who built Dhaka's first Thai restaurant Sawasdee in the 1990s. Larb gai, a spicy minced chicken salad, and pla pae-sa, steamed red snapper with lime, basil, and chillies, are two dishes to look forward to. Classic pan-Asian foods like hot masak merah chicken, a Malay-inspired dish, and nasi goreng, an Indonesian fried rice dish, are still accessible. When you dine at Eight, the world is your oyster, from freshly rolled sushi, juicy prime steaks, and delectable seafood to genuine Indian curries and delectable desserts.

It is located at Banani Road 6 House 81 and provides customers with a taste of real modern European cuisine. This is also Bangladesh's first automobile-themed restaurant.

Club Wheels is a one-of-a-kind eatery that serves a fusion of Italian, Mexican, and Western cuisine.

Head to the third floor, where Club Wheels' fine dining space is done up in exquisite blues and whites and devoid of any gear, for something less car-themed and more traditional.

At Segerstrom Center for the Arts, we're introducing George's Café. George's Café, located in the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza in the heart of Orange County's cultural district, provides lunch Monday through Friday and lunch and supper during performance hours. As a comfortable outdoor dining location for locals and guests alike, George's Café brings the community together.

George's Cafe is a little eatery founded by an American expat with years of culinary experience in the United States. The vibe and interior design are more akin to a hip Tribeca café than a Dhaka restaurant. The menu includes filling sandwiches such as Italian chicken sausage with sundried tomatoes or tender spiced BBQ beef, as well as a variety of New York-style hot dogs with Big Apple-themed names such as the Times Square Dog (sauerkraut with BBQ onion and yellow mustard) and the Wall Street Dog (kimchi, relish, and brown mustard). A brownie washed down with a nice cup of coffee makes a lighter snack.

Greg Stillman, who is also the Executive Chef at Leatherby's Café Rouge across the street, has created a distinctly Americana menu with Southern California elements, utilizing locally produced products. All day, a full coffee and espresso bar is open, using freshly roasted Intelligentsia beans. George's Café is the latest addition to Chef and Founder Joachim Splichal's bicoastal portfolio of 60+ boutique eateries.

While Dhaka has a wide range of dining options, there are a number of excellent eateries outside of the capital, like the Mermaid Cafe. It's part of the Mermaid Eco-Resort in Cox's Bazar, a seaside town and fishing port in south-eastern Bangladesh noted for its 78-mile-long coastline, one of the world's longest. The Mermaid Cafe is situated on a length of this beautiful beach that overlooks the Bay of Bengal. It specializes in seafood caught daily from Cox's Bazar and serves a mix of Bangladeshi and internationally inspired meals. Fresh lobster, stuffed Indian salmon, grilled snapper, and garlic prawns with spinach linguine are just a few of the options.

The Mermaid's long, lazy gallery veranda creates the scene for a stunning sunset view of Lake Caroline, which they recommend sipping an icy margarita or a crisp chardonnay while doing so. The location is also ideal for a family dinner, with plenty to keep everyone entertained (including the little ones). Watch your favorite team while enjoying a refreshing beer and a platter of sandbar shrimp or thin-fried catfish at the bar.

The Mermaid is like finding a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation, whether you reside in Madison County or are just seeking to get away from the frantic metropolitan grind. Their menu is well-known for its delectable variety. There's grilled redfish, gulf shrimp, and, of course, Mississippi-raised catfish on the menu. However, they offer much more than fish on their menu, including steaks, sandwiches, and even pizza!
