Ganda, Spain, for the most stunning seafood dish I have ever eaten, arroz a banda at a small restaurant that I doubt I would ever be able to find again (nuts!) This meal is still reverberating in my tastebuds 11 years after I ate it.
Intercourse, PA, the annual Mennonite Auction to benefit Haitian Missions, for the doughnuts alone. They are positively transcendental.

I would go back to the New Orleans Cafes in Media and/or Chads Ford, PA (Philly area) just to eat any of the Cajun dishes.
...but both locations are now closed!
However, the Gumbo Shoppe in Aston, PA is still open with similar food (in a cheaper, far less pretentious store front!)

1. Katz in lower Manhattan for pastrami sandwich and their cheesecake. Was there a few months ago, in May, hope to go back. No one who raves about the place mentions that it's comparatively difficult to get to, taking a subway, going up subway stairs, GETTING LOST on which direction to go! etc. But once you're there, at least you've worked up an appetite, the better to enjoy what can only be described as the truly sublime.
2. Captain George's Seafood Buffet in various towns, including Virginia Beach. Actually it's been years since I've been there, rather difficult to fly back just for a meal, but often I dream of going back. . . . Who knows, maybe someday. . . .
