The World’s Top Foodie City Might Surprise You

London has been named the #1 foodie destination in Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best. Quick check. Who did you think would top the list? Paris, the culinary GOAT? Tokyo? Or a rising food city like Accra?

London may not be the obvious pick, but it adds up. It’s one of the most diverse cities in the world, with a food scene decades in the making that gained real momentum in the 1990s, thanks to chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver and a deeply rooted, community-driven dining culture.

According to Condé Nast, standout restaurants include The Clove Club and Chishuru. But one of our insiders says the real move is skipping the reservations and heading to Camden Market or one of London’s many food festivals, where you can eat your way around the world in one place.

Your turn:

• Are you choosing fine dining or markets and festivals?

• Which city would you have crowned #1?
