Nothing is worse than being in your hometown but craving a dish you had while on vacation. Trying to find the exact meal, the exact feeling, and the exact ambiance to bring you back to a particular destination can feel beyond your reach.
In some instances, finding that exact meal or restaurant with the same ambiance can make you relive your vacation experience. Here are some restaurants, domestically, that’ll take you back to your favorite international destinations.
Thailand to New York
Soothr, located in New York City was established by a group of friends who grew up from different areas of Thailand. Their mission was to combine the different regional cuisines from Thailand into one menu. The menu includes dishes from Tom Yum seafood hot pot, duck noodles, crab fried rice to Pla Tod fried whole fish with crunchy garlic. From the minute you step in, you will feel as though you are in Thailand.

Marchesa, is an authentic French restaurant in the heart of Chicago. The head chef of the restaurant studied and cooked in French restaurants in France–bringing all of his experience and pouring it into this restaurant. Classic dishes like their seafood risotto, duck breast & foie gras have made Marchesa one of the best French restaurants in the world.

Italy to New York
Carbone, the top restaurant in New York, will literally have you checking flights to Italy. Carbone is as authentic as you can get, leaving the restaurant to be desired. Reservations are a must and honestly are hard to secure. If you happen to secure a reservation I would suggest you try the lobster ravioli & the veal parmesan.
