The 8 best cities in the world for food lovers
When we travel, live or study abroad, being immersed in the new culture is an essential part of our experience. As you explore a new land, your history, people, and customs combine in a blend of textures, sights, and flavors. And because food is an important part of our lives, it is no surprise that one of the best ways to get to know the culture of a certain country is through its gastronomy.
In this list, we have gathered eight of our favorite cities so that food lovers can savor - good for you!
1. MELBOURNE
In the gastronomic capital of Australia, expect to find tidbits from around the world. Thanks to the rich history of immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Melbourne has restaurants dedicated to the best in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa. Head to Londsdale Street to sample irresistible Greek delicacies, go to Lygon Street to nibble Italian food or Australia's oldest Chinatown in the area of Little Bourke Street, where several restaurants have kept their doors open since 1860.
2. BERLIN
For many, the currywurst sums up Berlin's gastronomic scene in a tasty little package (and the battle for 'Berlin's best currywurst' is waged between Curry 36 in Kreuzberg and Konnopke Imbiss in Prenzlauer Berg), but do not forget the wealth of food options from Turkey and the Middle East which is proud to call the German capital home. Start visiting the Turkenmarkt(a Turkish outdoor market) to have fresh produce, seasonings and Turkish bread in your hands. On top of all this, Berlin boats from some of the world's hottest restaurants (and cheaper!), From Vietnamese hamburger joints to fantastic Asian fusion. All in all, Berlin is home to some of the hottest (and cheapest) restaurants in the world, from Vietnamese burgers to the amazing Asian fusion.
3. MADRID
Spaniards love to eat out for a reason - it is difficult to find a country with more variety of food to eat - and in Madrid travelers who visit the city will surely have thousands of places where it will be difficult to resist the temptation of so much food. After experiencing the obligatory Spanish tortilla and churros with chocolate, look for a traditional Madrilenian stew , a squid sandwich (bread with fried calamari on top) and anything that involves cod. On weekends or late afternoons, enjoy the tapas in the bars of La Cava Baja and La Cava Alta and the streets full of restaurants in the neighborhood of La Latina.
4. ROME
Italian cuisine is by far one of the most popular in the world and a gastronomic trip to Italy can be a failure without exploring the country's capital, Rome . Look for pizza bianca , fiori di zucca ( zucca flowers) carbonara (try Da Danilo or Rascioli in the center) and the Roman style pizza (start your search for the best in Pizzarium de Prati ). If you want to avoid the crowds of tourists, divert to the boroughs of Testaccio and Trastevere, stopping at the various markets in the region.
5. SEATTLE
Situated next to the Puget Sound cove, the city of Seattle is a temptation for travelers, delighting them with fish, coffees, cherries, barbecues and international delights. Seafood - mussels, clams and oysters - are on most of the "must eat" menus of the locals, so join them and queue up for the traditional North American seafood soup at the Pike Place Market or for a lavish oyster dish at The Walrus or The Carpenter (4743 Ballard Avenue). Other delicious meals - which will undoubtedly make you hungry - include the delicious shredded pork burgers and waffle chicken.
6. LISBON
With each bite accompanied by the sweet accent of the locals and the promise of green hills, Lisbon is simply a delight. What to expect? Think of the food that does you good, like sausage rolls, fish and chips , oysters and Guinness, soda bread and black pudding - and do not forget the Irish rarities like sea salt ice cream! When in Lisbon, brunch at Peppernot Café (Powerscourt Town House) and then hop on Hatch & Sons or Pig's Ear for a crash course in Irish food. Do you have a free afternoon? Take a train to Howth and eat the freshest seafood you've ever tasted in life at the Octopussys restaurant. A mug or three (or a pot) of tea will ensure a great end to the day. So book your cheap airline tickets to Lisbon now and taste the delicious food
7. TOKYO
Fresh, tasty and artistic. Japanese food is high on the list of many and when you are in Tokyo the presence of good food will never be lacking. From sushi to unagi , tempura , shabu-shabu , andokonomiyaki , the only difficult task will be deciding which one to eat. Try ramen (egg noodles) on Ramen Street in the popular Tokyo Station or snack at Yarakucho street kiosks. Are you in a more adventurous spirit? Bold travelers should venture into tuna auctions and seafood restaurants at the Tsukiji Shijo market .
8. LIMA
Are you a fan of food and want something here in South America? Take a trip to Peru and you will not regret it! Next to the sea in Lima, savorceviche (raw fish cut in slices, cured in lemon juice and served with pepper, sweet potatoes and white corn), tiradito (raw fish) and Nikkei (Peruvian fusion cuisine) / Japanese) before switching to other Peruvian specialties such as tacu-tacu , sautéed lomo , chili pepper and sake .
