...draining, with places to alleviate the tension hard to find. In Kabul, NGO staff, journalists, and foreign development workers have long sought out L'Atmosphère Restaurant and Bar, latmospherekabul.blogs.com, for its convivial charms, excellent wine list (for Afghanistan) and comforting French meals - think dishes like beef fillet, smoked salmon and dill sauce or tuna steak and ratatouille followed by plates of cheese and fresh peaches in zabaglione...
...busy, bubbling kitchen, the young Scottish chef-patron Dan Hall brews up the magic that lifts the Casablanca well beyond a haunt for expats with creative pretensions to a place of pilgrimage for true foodies. A dish like slow-roasted fillet of Wagyu beef with roasted veal sweetbreads, caramelized carrot purée and a sherry vinegar gastrique may be a mouthful to order, but every bite confirms the brilliance of its conception. Plainer fare such as wild mushroom arancini with leek purée, white asparagus emulsion and cep vinaigrette showcase the intense flavors of locally grown vegetables. Hall...
...cooking challenge with the single-minded discipline usually found in élite athletes. For Kaysen, this means heading to the kitchen on his day off to sharpen skills like butchering a whole chicken.

...tartans, and over 200 years of Colquhoun-family portraits peer down at guests reading in the well-stocked library, savoring a single malt in the Rossdhu Bar or enjoying a formal yet friendly dinner in one of the house's two opulent dining rooms.

The golf course is closed during the winter, but if you still have a sporting itch, try your hand at salmon fishing or clay-pigeon shooting. Chances...
...gold, customers peruse an elaborate menu that may include crocodile (seared in vine leaves and served with a Chinese plum dip), peacock (presented with a vanilla-and-tomato confit) or scorpion (dipped in chocolate). The "Lovebug Salad" sees a bowl of mixed leaves topped with crickets and locusts. Kangaroo fillet is marinated in zhug - the Yemeni hot sauce - and served with vegetables. If all this leaves you feeling a little squeamish, you can find solace in a couple of conventional chicken dishes. Naturally, an evening at Archipelago isn't cheap. Expect to spend around $90 a head. But given...
