Foreign place is distinctive (7)
I believe the answer is:
special
'distinctive' is the definition.
(distinctive can mean special or different)
'foreign place is' is the wordplay.
'foreign' indicates anagramming the letters (foreign order of the letters).
'place'+'is'='placeis'
'placeis' with letters rearranged gives 'SPECIAL'.
(Other definitions for special that I've seen before include "Dish of the day" , "Particularly favoured" , "Dish not on main menu" , "Individual" , "Bargain" .)
