It’s no secret that great food and sampling local cuisine is a big motivator to many of us when we choose our holiday destinations and traveling foodies are insatiable. For them, to travel is to eat and eat well – everything else is secondary. More than ever before, foodie destinations are topping travelers’ bucket lists giving adventurers another reason to see the world.

Eliminating India from this list would be a shame.

From Delhi’s Chhole-Bhature and Mumbai’s spicy Vada Pao to Jaipur’s Daal-Baati Churma and Gujarat’s Dhokla and Thepla – there’s something for everyone. You’ll definitely be missing out if you leave India out of your foodie list!

France
It is impossible not to appreciate French cuisine. From the fresh seafood in the North, posh restaurants in Paris to Mediterranean herbs-inspired cuisine in the South. And every meal can be celebrated with local wine, which provides a unique flavor of the region it is from. Wherever you travel in France, you won’t be disappointed: its rich culture, historic architecture and versatile cuisine can be found just about anywhere.

Spain
The country boasts probably the most versatile Mediterranean cuisine. From lavish seafood dishes to world-famous bacon delicacies, from Arab-inspired cuisine to the finest wines. Food is an inherent part of the versatile Spanish culture, which must be experienced at least once in a lifetime.
-
Italy
Italian cuisine must be the number one in the world. Pasta, pizza, and ice cream. However, in Italy, everything will taste ten times better since Italians use an abundance of freshly picked ingredients, herbs, seasoning, olive oil, and the magic touch provided by the chefs, who have been inspired by the hundreds of years of tradition. Experience ‘La Dolce Vita’ in the wine country!

Mexico
Another place where foodies can indulge themselves in an inexhaustible feast of flavors, colors, spices, and music. Head out to vibrant Mexico City, which bursts with intense smells, tastes, and sounds. If you want to keep it low-key, go to a resort on the coast of California Sur and enjoy the food on the sandy beach, while watching a sunset.
