For some of us, the highlight of any trip isn’t the sights or the selfies—it’s the food. The rich, fragrant bowl of pho on a steamy Hanoi morning. The crackle of a baguette breaking open in Paris. The thrill of discovering that, yes, tacos really are better in Mexico.
If you believe every destination has a dish worth travelling for, this one’s for you. Here’s our ultimate foodie bucket list: 8 signature dishes from around the world that are worth crossing oceans for.
1. Ramen in Tokyo, Japan
Forget the instant packets—we’re talking rich, steaming broth that’s been simmering for 12 hours, topped with soft-boiled eggs, bamboo shoots, and perfect chashu pork. Whether you go for tonkotsu in Fukuoka or shoyu in Tokyo, the ramen scene in Japan is as serious as it is delicious.
Where to try it: Ichiran Ramen (for the solo booth experience) or Tokyo Ramen Street under Tokyo Station.
Pro tip: Slurping is encouraged. It cools the noodles and shows you’re enjoying it.
2. Ceviche in Lima, Peru
Fresh fish cured in citrus juice, mixed with onion, coriander, and chilli—it’s a bright, zesty explosion of flavour that defines Peruvian coastal cuisine. Lima is considered the gastronomic capital of South America for good reason.
Where to try it: La Mar or El Mercado in the Miraflores district.
Pro tip: Eat it at lunch, not dinner—ceviche is traditionally a midday dish, and it’s freshest earlier.
3. Tagine in Marrakech, Morocco
Cooked in the iconic conical clay pot it’s named after, a tagine is slow-cooked perfection. Think tender lamb with prunes and almonds or chicken with preserved lemon and olives, served with fluffy couscous and mint tea.
Where to try it: Nomad or Café Des Épices in the heart of the Medina.
Pro tip: Don’t forget to explore the spice markets while you’re there—you’ll smell dinner before you see it.
4. Croissant in Paris, France
There’s a reason this buttery, flaky pastry is famous the world over—but nowhere does it like a corner bakery in Paris. The layers, the crunch, the gentle sweetness—it’s an edible masterpiece.
Where to try it: Du Pain et des Idées in the 10th arrondissement or La Maison d’Isabelle in the Latin Quarter.
Pro tip: Pair it with a café crème and enjoy it while people-watching in a sunlit square.
5. Tacos al Pastor in Mexico City, Mexico
Marinated pork sliced off a vertical spit, served on a soft corn tortilla with pineapple, onion, coriander, and a squeeze of lime. Tacos al pastor are the perfect blend of indigenous and Lebanese influences—and they’re addictive.
Where to try it: El Vilsito (part taco stand, part mechanic’s shop—yes, really).
Pro tip: Order two. Then order two more. It’s a taco rule.
6. Butter Chicken in Delhi, India
Rich, velvety, mildly spiced butter chicken (murgh makhani) served with naan fresh from the tandoor—it’s comfort food on a whole new level. It originated in Delhi, and that’s still where you’ll find the real deal.
Where to try it: Moti Mahal in Daryaganj—where it was supposedly invented.
Pro tip: Don’t wear white. You’ll thank us later.
7. Bánh mì in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
A fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisine, bánh mì combines crusty baguettes with fillings like pork, pâté, pickled veg, coriander, chilli, and mayo. It’s the ultimate street food sandwich.
Where to try it: Bánh Mì Huỳnh Hoa—the queues are long, but it’s worth the wait.
Pro tip: Eat it fresh, and eat it fast. The bread’s magic is in the crunch.
8. Pizza in Naples, Italy
The birthplace of pizza still does it best. A true Neapolitan pizza is simple: a thin, chewy base with a puffed crust, San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil—all fired in a blistering-hot oven.
Where to try it: L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele (yes, the one from Eat Pray Love)
Pro tip: Don’t ask for pineapple. Just… don’t.
A Quick Word on Travel Insurance
Chasing flavour across continents is one of life’s greatest joys—but it pays to be prepared. Whether it’s a dodgy oyster or a missed flight connection, having reliable travel insurance means your foodie dreams don’t turn into financial nightmares.
Bon appétit, and bon voyage!
