There are a dozen reasons which could help make a city great for food. Whether it is the restaurant itself, the exquisite food, the staff, the beautiful location and even the decor inside the establishment.
The simple question is this: What is the greatest, most exciting, and most dynamic food city in the world today, the culinary ‘it’ city of our age?
There are several places that come in to mind when thinking of lavish, 5-star rated restaurants. Paris would obviously be a first choice for many people when thinking of fancy food and restaurants yet is this city past its hay day? Going for a nice meal shouldn’t be like going to Church and that is what a lot of Paris is like. London is not quite there yet with the street food. For example, New Delhi, Bangkok and Hanoi have an abundance of all sorts of different and wonderful food which you can try at your own risk! New York is always a potential for the best culinary city in the world but it lacks in its range of foreign cuisines that are so recurrent in other countries. I think that the best city for food needs to show a history of culinary excellence and elegance therefore cities like Las Vegas and Cape Town could not be in the mix.
Another important aspect to consider is what the city is like for takeaway food and food delivery as a lot of money can be made out of this. A good city will provide excellent quality Indian takeaways and Chinese takeaways at any time of the night. Of course this is just my opinion but these things are very important indeed.Many different things are pulled together to make a city a hub for exquisite food. From my experience the one city that can provide the best of almost every cuisine would have to be the Japanese city, Osaka. This Is a city entirely at ease with its culinary identity but completely open to all sorts of foreign influences.
