A guide to the world's bestFood & Drink

If you like a bit of spice in your life, then Asia will float your boat. From the incredible curries of India, to the light and bright cuisine of Vietnam and elegant sushi in Japan, there is such a wide variety of flavours to be found in this region. 

Making your way through the humid streets of Bangkok and sampling street food as you go is another holidays moment that you won’t soon forget, as is tantalising your palette with the world’s most mind-blowing dumplings in Shanghai.  And if you find yourself in Singapore, you should check out Adam Liaw’s five must-try dishes.

North America has plenty to offer: treat yourself to a degustation at one of New York’s incredible Michelin-starred restaurants, amble along a food trail in Oregon, or find out what all the fuss is about with some deep south barbecue in St Louis.

New Orleans is a bustling, multicultural melting pot of people from all over the globe who have been influencing the city’s food culture for hundreds of years.  It is also widely considered to be the only place in the USA to get real Cajun and Creole Louisiana-style cooking.

In Canada you can indulge in one of the world’s most indulgent comfort foods, and in central America you can eat your fill of tacos and tequila in Mexico. Further south you’ll discover that Argentina is famous for its beef and elevates the humble barbecue to new culinary heights.

Beyond these continents you can also explore South Africa’s winelands,  acquaint yourself with the spiced, deep-fried, textured, flavourful food of Egypt and experience the best brunch of your life in Dubai.
