It seems it’s no longer just movie stars who come to make it big in the City of Angels. LA has one of the hottest food scenes in the US, thanks to the arrival of a number of talented young chefs who have helped shape the local dining scene. There’s also a remarkable Asian influence – especially in the city’s famous Korea Town – and the tacos trucks serve some of the best Mexican grub this side of border.

As the country that gave the world both pizza and pasta, Italy has to be on pretty much any foodie bucket list, yet knowing where to go can be a little tricky. If you had to choose just one place, you might as well listen to the Italians themselves who have nicknamed Bologna ‘La Grassa’ or ‘The Fat One’ in reference to its exceptional food. Close proximity to the mountainous north and the sea give it access to some of the country’s finest ingredients such as Parma ham, parmesan cheese and white truffles.

In the not too distant past, British cuisine was considered not much more than fish & chips and a gravy-rich Sunday roast. Yet these days London is one of the most thriving food capitals of the world, drawing on the rich cultural diversity of the English capital, as well as the enthusiasm and passion of a new generation of chefs who no longer worship French idols. The ‘Modern British’ approach puts emphasis on the quality of the produce to create ingredient-led dishes with a distinctively British accent.

The street food of Thailand is world-famous and anyone who has walked through the streets of Bangkok at least once in their life will know why. There are fragrant curries, juicy satay skewers, crispy stir-fries, spicy noodles, fresh seafood, mouth-watering desserts and plenty of surprises along the way too – all of which will cost you less than the price of a fancy latte back home.

The Catalan capital has earned its reputation as a foodie mecca whether you’re looking for fine dining or old-fashioned tapas bars. The city recently celebrated the recognition of its first ever three Michelin-star restaurant, Lasarte, while the Adrià brothers continue to build on their elBulli legacy with the likes of Tickets, Enigma and Hoja Santa. And if you’re a fan of cooking as much as you are eating, the Boqueria market is basically food porn.

French cuisine is revered as the crème de la crème of sophisticated dining, though it’s in Lyon’s traditional and fairly unpretentious restaurants – known as Bouchon Lyonais – that you’ll find some of the best fare in the country. Home-made pâté, pungent cheeses and rich stews all washed down with a glass or five of local wine. Bon appétit!
