![]() ![]() After enjoying the creativity of some of the world's greatest chefs (Alain Ducasse, Joël Robuchon, Alain Passard), the real Paris food experience is giving in to temptation and having the mouth-watering pastries. Paris stands out for the plethora of fine dining restaurants but there's nothing better than the Parisian patisserie. The best experience is visiting the La Brecha market in the morning, and ending the day at any restaurant serving Basque-style tapas accompanied by local wines. This is a city that takes food very seriously, and a place where a meal can be turned into an event. There is an extraordinary culinary movement in San Sebastian that goes beyond its impressive trio of 3-Michelin-star restaurants. On top of that there's one of the world's best food markets, the Boqueria, not to mention the impressive Mercat de Santa Caterina. It offers a wealth of fine restaurants where food is science and chefs like Ferran Adrià are also artists and scientists, while for the more conservative there are superb classic establishments serving the more traditional dishes. It focuses on local traditions and produce, and the "bouchons" (the more traditional restaurants) are among the best spots to enjoy the more rustic cuisine washed down by the best French wines.īarcelona became a world-class city in large part due to its innovative contemporary Catalan cuisine. The city still caters to gourmands of all budgets, although it's the haute cuisine that clearly stand out. You could say that Lyon is where France originally elevated food into an art form, and chef Paul Bocuse was the pioneer. But this is also the city with the most Michelin stars in the world, and with some of the best casual dining. That's where 5 million pounds of fish are sold every day, mostly to be served as sushi. The Tsukiji Fish Market alone would be enough to make Tokyo a foodie destination. Our favorite experiences, however, are browsing gourmet groceries like Zabar's (the best food store in the world?) - and we're not ashamed to admit that we still love stepping into the Whole Foods chain every time. It's the world's true food mecca, allowing you to go on a gastronomic trip around the world without leaving the city. It has over 10,000 restaurants, where you find every kind of cuisine imaginable - and for every budget. ![]() New York is a city of superlatives and that obviously also applies to its food scene. ![]()
