the most exciting unique and thriving
culinary scenes from around the world
according to eater number 10 eco Israel
it might not be the city with the most
name recognition in the country of
Israel but Arco certainly features
prominently on the culinary map in 2019
The Wall Street Journal called it
Israel's best kept secret a
Mediterranean coastal city Arco is
arguably the single best place in the
country for fresh seafood but it also
does most traditional Israeli dishes
proud and because Akko is such a
multicultural city the food on offer is
similarly diverse drawing influence from
Palestine Yemen and beyond while there
are a handful of restaurants being run
by chefs at world-renowned like el masa
the vast majority of the mouth-watering
dishes you'll try NACO at being served
from carts and unassuming little
restaurants and family-run
establishments the hummus olives baked
goods and seafood are all must rise
number 9 cork island cork is the second
largest city in island but it's
definitely first in food cheap eats pub
grub baked goods international cuisine
gourmet preparations traditional plates
heck cork even excels at vegetarian food
thanks to Cafe Paradiso at the epicenter
of this incredible culinary scene is the
English market which can trace its roots
all the way back to 1788 the market
covers everything you could need but
it's a local cheeses and meats along
with traditional cork market dishes that
you simply must try including tripe
Roisin and crow beans as for the
restaurants there are too many notable
ones to name on top of it all cork also
does BIA extremely well both traditional
preparations and craft beer cork is
without doubt the culinary capital
of ireland but we think that's being
modest it can compete with the very best
that europe has to offer
number eight Marrakech Morocco if you're
traveling in search of flavor this is
where you should get off Marrakech is
world-renowned for its heavily spiced
aromatic dishes for the record the food
of Marrakech isn't typically spicy in
the hot sense but rather just heavily
treated with various savory spices
berries and fruit olives oranges and
lemons all of which are abundantly
available in the area are some of the
most commonly used ingredients you can
easily spend weeks in Marrakech and
still only managed to taste a fraction
of the dishes available but if there's
one preparation that everyone should try
in their lifetime it's the city's
trademark Tangier Morocco
beef slow-cooked in a tagine with a
special blend of spices and smen a
clarified butter type ingredient that
has a strong cheesy flavour the city has
always done its traditional dish as well
but as its international reputation
Rises the food scene is also becoming
increasingly diverse and exciting number
seven Richmond Canada we know we know
after Marrakech a city that you have
likely never even heard of in Canada
seems like an odd choice but that
honestly just makes Richmond status as a
top-tier food destination all the more
impressive it's really hard to earn it
Richmond is a coastal city in British
Columbia and is technically part of the
larger Metro Vancouver Regional District
Vancouver as a city does very well for
itself in terms of the culinary scene
but Richmond has notably pulled ahead as
a hyper concentrated area of authentic
and cutting-edge Asian cuisine Top Chef
Canada judge mizune Pak has gone so far
as to call Richmond the best to be found
outside of Asia the New York Times have
similarly singled out Richmond as having
perhaps the best Asian food in North
America and the best thing is there's
great food in Richmond in every price
point number six malmö Sweden located at
Sweden's southern extremity on the west
coast and being the country's third
biggest city malmö hasn't
generally being considered a must-visit
city in fact up until recently many
would have argued that its heyday had
long since come and gone but the last
two decades have seen the city looking
forward in a number of regards including
biotech architecture and its University
and when you manage to attract both new
businesses and students food isn't far
behind
today melman's culinary scene is a
thriving one characterized by a focus on
local ingredients and minimizing waste
and unbridled creativity
perhaps most enticing is the fact that
it's very much a global food scene inna
files take note Noma is on the cutting
edge of the natural wine trend ensuring
that a perfect pairing is always within
reach number five Nagoya Japan beginning
to notice a pattern us two cities that
are relatively secondary in terms of
population political importance and
economic clout seem to be fertile
breeding grounds for world-class
culinary scenes Nagoya is Japan's
fourth-largest city but it doesn't often
make it on two travel itineraries after
being added to the Michelin Guide in
2018 however Nagoya is finally getting
the attention it deserves from a
culinary perspective the major draw is
Nagoya meshy a culinary tradition
distinct to the city in the surrounding
region some of the most common elements
found in Nagoya cuisine are tamari
shrimp Cochin chicken and wide flat food
on noodles some of the dishes you must
absolutely try in Nagoya include tebah
sake a type of fried chicken tori wasa
organ meat sashimi and hitsumabushi an
eel dish number 4 Marseille France
France is widely considered to be among
the most influential nations culinary
wise in the world but while there's no
shortage of great restaurants to try in
Paris the overwhelming number of
tourists can detract from the experience
especially for server has been dealing
with them all day
also the dish is being served tend to be
traditional in Marseille however French
cuisine is not only delicious and
refined but
so ambitious and unafraid to experiment
Marseille is bursting at the seams with
young talents and fresh palates who are
taking the French classics and
reinventing them by drawing from other
cultures especially those of northern
Africa in the Mediterranean the end
result is a culinary scene the feels
inspired and relative to Paris anyway
surprisingly affordable Marseille has
been experiencing a cultural Renaissance
and food is one of the driving forces
number three hyungjoon South Korea
Korean food has only fairly recently
begun to make major waves
internationally and now that people have
been exposed to its unique appeal the
newly converted are flocking to its
country of origin there's plenty of
quality Korean food to be had in Seoul
but if you're letting your taste buds
put together the itenary then the
coastal city of Jung Joo is where you're
likely to wind up with only about a
quarter million residents it's a small
city but it's big on flavor the cuisine
of Hong Joo is in keeping with that of
kyeong sang province in that it's
notably salty and spicy and Jung Joo
bread is a specialty that despite being
popular nationally originated in the
city either Kyung Joo specialties
include mud starch jelly Samba lettuce
wraps and haejangguk ox bone broth soup
though there are great meals to be had
at every price point you can honestly
eat extremely well even if limiting
yourself to Street food number 2
Monterrey Mexico northeastern Mexico is
a land of beef barbacoa and covered Ito
young goat grilled on a spit over embers
where weekends often feature carne asada
as a meal to bring the family together
in 2016 celebrated chef Guillermo
Gonzalez better stay in called Monterrey
Mexico's best-kept gastronomic secret
and said that a focus on regional
cuisine is what makes it so special
the scene is overwhelmingly populated by
chef owners meaning that the food being
served is exactly what the chef wants to
be cooking and when a chef is allowed to
get creative and follow their instincts
you can taste the passion in every
i from the most humble hole-in-the-wall
joints turning out regional classics
from family recipes to the city's most
high-end establishments bringing global
inspiration to the city one thing is
constant flavor always comes first
number one georgetown malaysia also
known as a city of Penang Island this
former British settlement is today a
foodie hub par excellence one of the
best places to eat in Asia and among the
top culinary destinations in the world
what makes Georgetown so special is that
it's a melting pot that melds cuisines
from all across Southeast Asia and
beyond and the locals aren't afraid to
get creative with fusion cuisine and the
best part is it's mostly super
affordable street food being sold from
cuts and little stands with so many food
centric suburbs
streets and areas to explore including
goney drive new world path Julia Street
Penang Road and a a time it sometimes
feel like all of Georgetown is one big
food hall or Hawker Center you should
sample as much as you can but asam laksa
soup and poach an oyster omelet and nasi
kandar curry selection and curry mee
noodle soup must rise while you're
digesting all that delicious food you
can walk around and appreciate the
city's beautiful street art Georgetown
is truly a feast for the senses do you
