From Hanoi to New York or Barcelona, each city has its own unique culinary culture, worthy of visitors to come and experience.
 |
| Tokyo (Japan):Japan boasts more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other country, with Tokyo accounting for the lion's share. In addition to sushi, Tokyo also has tonkatsu pork cutlets, unagi eel, okonomiyaki pancakes and tofu dishes. The number of restaurants in Tokyo has increased exponentially, from expensive high-end establishments to small eateries, with a focus on high-quality ingredients. |

| Hanoi (Vietnam):Hanoi Old Quarter is considered an ideal place to explore the balance of spices in Vietnamese cuisine. Visitors should experience street food prepared on the spot such as pho tiu served with sweet and sour broth, pork and fish sauce or banh mi filled with pate, cucumber, herbs, fried onions and chili, and end the journey with the unique egg coffee.

| Jaipur (India): Jaipur is one of the few places to showcase the cuisine of the Rajputs – the warriors who ruled much of Rajasthan until the 1960s. Hunting and exploration were their main activities, so grilled dishes are a highlight, typically Laal maas – a hot goat curry, served with white rice or bread. |

There’s also Cava de Cano, a special private dining room that serves a buffet of traditional homemade dishes like Argentinian stew and empanadas. |
 |
