Food and drink travel

Expert travel guides and holiday advice

Travelling the world isn't just for the sun, it's to enjoy culinary delights that can't be replicated at home. Tasting traditional cuisines from different countries not only awakens your taste buds but expands your knowledge of cultures from around the world. Whether you’re searching for rooftop settings with picturesque views of NYC or the best street food to be tried in the markets of Marrakesh, our travel experts have found the best restaurants, bars and cafes you must visit on your travels.

Europe food & drink

No country in Europe is the same, especially when it comes to food and drink. While someone is eating a Croque monsieur and sipping a glass of Bourdeaux in France, another is eating Smørrebrød in Denmark, and in Italy, people are enjoying the delights of pasta washed down with a generous shot of Limoncello. Read our experts' top picks of restaurants and bars throughout Europe.

UK food and drink

There are more culinary delights that go beyond the traditional “chippie tea” and Sunday roast (although, you must try some of Britain's finest fish and chip takeaways and pubs during your next visit). Thanks to the cosmopolitan cities of London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Cardiff and more, you can find foodie markets full of delicious street food and Michelin-starred restaurants of all types of cuisine. Not to mention cosy tearooms where you can enjoy traditional afternoon tea.
