"It’s easy to feel awe-inspired upon entering Z Bar, an upscale lounge in The Peninsula Hotel . Bold, globally inspired flavors pepper the menu here, as showcased by snacks and share plates like tuna tartare with mango and yuzu, chicken karaage with spicy yuzu aioli, and daikon frites with Chinese lap cheong. Dessert is just as satisfying—namely, the refreshing Grand Marnier granita or warm vanilla bean beignets with chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla dipping sauces. The skyline views and Insta-worthy sippers make this an ideal spot for that big-deal date." - Nicole Schnitzler
