"But so many of us travel for the distinct pleasure of eating: to visit hallowed dining rooms led by innovative chefs; to plop onto stools at markets for cheap, inimitable thrills; to forage, or harvest, or watch others wrest precious goods from the earth and turn them into beautiful dishes we can close our eyes and savour. For these travellers, we offer our list of the Best Places to Eat in 2026."
"If meze enjoyed on sun-soaked patios calls your name, consider Crete, set to be the European Region of Gastronomy in 2026. In this historic corner of Greece, hand-made phyllo and mountain herbs make heavenly pairings with briny seafood and wine from ancient vines. On the flip side, there's Medellín, Colombia, long known for its hearty Andean stews and stick-to-your-ribs bandeja paisa, and now coming into its own as a South American hotbed for young chefs and buzzy restaurants."
