One of our favorite icebreakers here at Lonely Planet: What’s the most mind-blowing meal you’ve had while traveling? I can think of a couple. Or twenty.
Fresh piranha in the Amazon, heavenly ravioli in Italy, conch fritters in the Bahamas, dal makhani (lentils in butter) in London, vegan barbecue in North Carolina – our menu of personal favorites is lengthy and drool-worthy.
If you’re the kind of traveler who’s always thinking about your next meal, 1. Hi, let’s be friends, and 2. Oh, do we have the foodie guides for you. These aren’t your average restaurant lists. They’re full of better-than-Yelp, carefully curated recs that make you feel like the people who curated them: local.
We’ve covered the usual suspects, like Thailand and Portugal, Copenhagen and Buenos Aires. But the less obvious destinations are also worthy of a reservation.
Here’s what’s on the menu in 2024.
