Ever wanted to eat your way around the world? All diets are off on this no-limits top 10 list of iconic dishes from around the world. Try them at least once, before it’s too late!

San Francisco is invariably one of Viator’s Top 10 destinations, and that’s no coincidence. While some destinations need to be seen once and may then be safely crossed off one’s list – I’m not naming names, that would just start arguments – the City by the Bay is a lot deeper than that, and seems to have an attraction that brings people back time after time.

Every New Yorker has a strong opinion about where to find the best pizza in town. Although their answers may differ, few if any would deny that a trip to the borough of Brooklyn is an absolute must if you want to get a sampling of the best pies the region has to offer.

Hanoi is a city with the charm of exotic marketplaces, modern amenities and a buzzing street life. In contrast, Hanoi is also a city with the serene natural beauty of the Red River and Hanoi Bay – tranquil pagodas, and downright tasty cuisine. All mixed in with the complications of foreign colonialism, a recent history of drawn-out wars, and the uniquely Asian problem of highly compact quarters catering to an exploding population. Hanoi with all its rich culture, history and tradition is undoubtedly one of the world’s poignantly distinct cities. Although a city of such esteem needn’t such a list, here are five reasons to see it for yourself.

When our New York City team heard that I would be in town recently, they twisted my arm very, very hard (it took all of three microseconds) to persuade me to check out some of our new food tours in Manhattan and Brooklyn. As more and more people make cuisine one of the key focal points of their leisure travel, food tours have become very popular and I was keen to see what all the fuss was about.

In New Orleans, eating and drinking is an essential part of the Big Easy lifestyle. Creole cuisine dominates the menus, for sure, but imaginative culinarians increasingly add flavors from France, Spain, Italy, Africa, Caribbean, and Asia to the mix, creating inventive, mouth-watering dishes. Try such specialties as creamy crawfish etouffee or spicy gumbo to wake your tastes buds and go from there. Even simple platters burst with personality, like a muffaletta stuffed with ham, salami, lettuce, and marinated olives or an icy plate of freshly-shucked oysters. Bring your appetite.

Dining out for breakfast in London is one of my favourite pastimes, yet all too often it’s shunted in favour of dinner. To avoid the tourist traps and greasy-spoon cafes that put London breakfasts to shame, I’ve humbly eaten my way around the capital finding the best breakfasts to set any intrepid explorer up for their day.

When it comes to eating, it’s hard to find anything to dislike in Madrid. One of Spain’s great inventions is the menu del dia – a three course meal, often with a drink thrown in, for around EUR10 to 15. That’s lunch taken care of quite beautifully, and when it comes to the evening, there are tapas.
