This Destination Was Just Named Europe's Best Culinary City - and No, It's Not in Italy or France
Briefly

"It's [the award] a recognition of the quality of the gastronomy for which Lisbon is so well known and an award that encourages all the professionals who keep it alive. The local economy is increasingly a distinctive factor for the city of Lisbon, and gastronomy contributes greatly to the quality of Lisbon's tourism," Carlos Moedas, the mayor of Lisbon, said in a press release.
"Lisbon's food scene stands out with its diversity, spanning not only cuisine types and origins but also the quality of the food. The city boasts seventeen one- and two-starred restaurants listed on the Michelin Guide, including world-famous spots like Alma and Belcanto, recently included among the World's Top 50 Restaurants."
"You don't have to look hard to have an excellent meal in Lisbon. Its many cervejarias, neighborhood eateries serving fresh sea and shell food along with a long list of brews are always an excellent - and affordable - choice for a quick meal, also beloved by locals."
