What are the Best Cuisines to Eat?

The world's culinary diversity is one of the greatest joys of travel. Our cuisine section organises restaurant reviews by culinary tradition — from French gastronomy to Japanese omakase, from Italian trattorias to Thai street food, from Middle Eastern mezze to Peruvian ceviche. Each category gathers our tested addresses for that specific cuisine, wherever in the world we have found them, making it easy to find the exact type of cooking you are seeking.

Whether you are searching for the best Japanese restaurant in Paris, authentic Thai food in Bangkok, creative Mediterranean cuisine in Dubai, or Korean barbecue in Seoul, browsing by cuisine type helps you find exactly what you are craving. Our reviews evaluate authenticity, ingredient quality, chef technique, and how faithfully — or how creatively — each restaurant interprets its culinary tradition.

Explore our cuisine categories to discover the richness of global gastronomy through our first-hand experiences, from the most refined tasting menus to the most honest regional cooking.
