Ā We chatted up officials from around the world about their favorite spots in NYC for their home countryās cuisine. Their answers might surprise you. Read on. Ā The UK Ā āThe Churchill Tavern has the classic feel and menu of a good English pub, just like back home. [Their] traditional Sunday roast is fantastic ā¦ and they also go all out decorating for the holiday season,ā Antony Phillipson, Britainās consul general of New York and Her Majestyās Trade Commissioner for North America, tells The Post. The Kips Bay watering holeās weekly supper ($26 to $29, every Sunday from noon till late) includes a choice of roast beef with horseradish cream, roasted half chicken with stuffing, a leg of lamb with mint sauce or a rotating special, plus all the trimmings ā roasted veggies, roasted potatoes, peas, gravy and what the owners claim is āa very traditional, popularā Yorkshire pudding. Ā Ā Japan Ā When he needs a taste of Japan, Kanji Yamanouchi, ambassador and consul general of Japan, heads to Sakagura East Village for unagi kabayaki ($45). The restaurant is known for the dish, which features eel flown in from southwest Japan thatās brushed with a secret sauce, then slowly grilled and steamed. Itās served with rice, soup, Arima Sansho pepper seasoning and pickled daikon, and a well-curated jazz soundtrack typically plays in the eatery. āI instantly feel at home eating eel in the serene atmosphere,ā says Yamanouchi. Ā Ā Belgium Ā Ambassador Marc Pecsteen, the permanent representative of Belgium to the United Nations, laments the closures of several Belgian restaurants in the city, including Rouge Tomate and Petite Abeille. But he finds solace at BXL Zoute, a Flatiron spot popular with expats and known for its mussels. āThey have some excellent, typical Belgian dishes,ā he says. His favorites include bouchĆ©e Ć la rein ($23), a puff pastry filled with chicken, bacon and mushrooms; carbonnade flamande ($24), a beef sirloin stew spiked with brown beer; the various preparations of mussels with fries ($23 to $25); and, of course, the āoutstandingā beers from his homeland on offer. Heās also a big fan of Le Pain Quotidien, which started in Brussels. āIt is difficult to feel homesick for Belgian food in a place where there is a Belgian restaurant on virtually every corner,ā he says. Ā Ā Italy Ā From Ribalta to Via Carota, there is no shortage of great places for Italian food in NYC. The UNās permanent representative of Italy, Mariangela Zappia, loves trying out the latest restaurants. āI like to take strolls around the Village, or in Soho, duri
