The World's Best Food Experiences

People are often sharing ideas on their greatest ever food experiences. And when you combine that with the heady pastime of travel, it's an irresistible combination.

Lonely Planet has recently compiled a list of the 500 best food experiences in the world, as suggested by some of the world's best chefs and food writers. The Ultimate Eat List is a collection of the world’s best culinary experiences, taking in some of the globes’s most revered food cultures. We've scoured through these and come up with our top 20. Topping the list is pintxo-eating in San Sebastián in the Basque Country, followed by curry laksa in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and sushi in Tokyo, Japan. Also in the top 20 are pizza margherita in Naples, Italy, beef brisket in Texas, and ceviche in Lima, Peru.
