Marchetti has lit up Instagram with their next-level hash browns, which are an essential side dish to any order. Breakfast bagels are particularly good here, stuffed with the likes of fried egg, cheese, pickled spring onion, and chilli; or sausage and egg with optional (arguably essential) hash brown. Then there’s nduja scrambled eggs, blueberry buttermilk pancakes with whipped butter, and pea, feta and za’atar fritters with yogurt and poached eggs – a particular favourite of restaurant critic and author Jimi Famurewa, who credits Marchetti with getting him through the editing process on his latest book, Picky. At the takeaway counter you can also stock up on breads, pastries and coffee to go. There’s lots of indoor seating, plus a pretty garden at the back for the warmer months, so it’s a great option for families.

London's rooftop bar scene is ever evolving, with chef pop-ups, top mixologists and of course timeless views of iconic sights such as the Shard or London Eye. Whether it's a relaxed group hang or push the boat out date night, these are some of our favourite rooftop bars in London. Looking for more London inspiration?

Owned by Maybourne, which also has Claridge’s, The Connaught and The Berkeley (next door), The Emory has a prime position right on Hyde Park, so its 10th floor bar offers panoramic views over the park and the London skyline. Drinks come courtesy of one of the world’s best mixologists, Tato Giovannoni (behind Florería Atlántico in Buenos Aires), who returned to The Emory in 2025 after a successful two-month pop-up in 2024.

description: America has a whole host of incredible food cities to be discovered – we've chosen where to go and where to eat for the ultimate foodie city break
encoded: When it comes to food destinations in the US, cities like New York and Los Angeles tend to capture the imagination of gourmands all over the world. But once you’ve ticked these essential bucket list destinations off the list (perhaps several times) there are a whole host of incredible food cities to be discovered across the country, offering forward-thinking, exciting food scenes without the overwhelming crowds. With more travellers embracing ‘second city’ tourism, seeking out places that are just as vibrant but less overrun with tourists, there’s never been a better time to explore these alternative destinations. By spreading the love beyond the usual suspects, you can delve into unique food cultures and perhaps even get a glimpse of the next big thing before everyone else. From soulful Southern cooking and Michelin-starred barbecue to famous food markets and legendary bakeries, these ten American cities prove that the best meals aren’t always found where you’d expect. How long do you need for a US city break? With American cities differing greatly in size, from small town Portland to the big city bustle of Austin, the amount of time you need in each city will vary depending on the destination. Some cities are perfect for a whirlwind weekend of eating and exploring, while others reward a longer stay, particularly if they have lots of smaller national food scenes to discover (such as in Chicago or San Francisco). It’s also worth researching nearby attractions, to see if you can combine a city break with a National Park or even time on the beach – hello Miami sun. America is the land of the road trip, of course, and you can easily combine a few of these cities in one visit if you had a couple of weeks. Consider, for example, starting a Pacific coast road trip in Portland Oregon and driving all the way to LA via San Francisco. Or start in Charleston before heading south to Savannah and touring the Deep South until you reach New Orleans. In America, you can be guarante…

description: Travelling to New York? Try our top 10 favourite foods from this vibrant city, including brilliant bagels, classic street food and the best pizza around.
encoded: New York is one of the world’s great – if not greatest – food capitals, defined by its myriad immigrant cultures and almost limitless choice. Whether it’s a supersized bodega sandwich or chicken parm in an old-school Italian joint, New York’s dishes are as much a part of the city as its yellow cabs and skyscrapers. If you’re planning a trip and wondering where to start, here’s our guide to the Big Apple’s 10 most iconic foods – and where to find the best of them. Top 10 foods to try in New York 1. New York slice You can find every style of pizza imaginable in New York, but the city’s signature slice – thin, foldable and with just the right ratio of sauce to cheese – is its true pizza icon. Unlike Neapolitan pizza, which has a softer base, New York slices are crisp and sturdy – served on nothing fancier than a white paper plate – and designed to be eaten on the go. It’s the ultimate fast food, and one of the city’s cheapest bites: although the days of $1 slices are long gone, you can still find a giant slice of pie for around $3. For a classic no-fuss slice, Joe’s Pizza in Greenwich Village has been a favourite since 1975, its walls lined with pictures of all the celebs who have visited over the years. Hipster hotspot Scarr’s on the Lower East Side grinds its own flour in-house and offers a pared back menu of classic slices, while Paulie Gee’s Slice Shop in Greenpoint channels a 1970s pizzeria vibe, complete with red-chequered trays and wood-panelled walls – don’t miss its hot honey pepperoni square slice. 2. Pastrami sandwich No dish captures New York’s Jewish deli culture better than a pastrami sandwich – thick slices of smoked beef served on rye with a smear of mustard and a pickle on the side. By far the best place to try one is Katz’s Delicatessen, one of the most famous places in the city, with its iconic sign out the front and classic old-school interiors that have barely changed in 100 years. Ordering at the counter from the long-serving staff is as much a pa…

description: Longing to feel the sun on your skin and a cocktail in your hand? We've rounded up the best destinations for winter sun through a food-focused lens
encoded: Marrakech Almost-guaranteed sunshine, a short flying time and no jet lag from the UK plus great shopping opportunities in the medina (spices, saffron, rosewater, ceramics) and lively nightlife make the Red City an exciting winter option. Almost every restaurant serves warming tagines, couscous and b’stilla (pigeon in pastry) – read more here for foods to try while in Morocco. Don’t expect a wine list in all restaurants, riads or hotels but juices and sweet mint tea are served everywhere. At night, the frenetic Jemaa El-Fna square fills with snakecharmers and food stalls selling everything from sheep’s brains to smoked sausage. Food highlights of Marrakech La Marocain at La Mamounia – The traditional, open-air restaurant in this world-renowned hotel serves Moroccan classics with a refined touch, served by bow-tied waiters and accompanied by traditional live music. Starters of finely-chopped, delicately spiced salads and briouates (meat or cheese-filled savoury pastries) are followed by tagines elevated with luxurious ingredients such as monkfish or lobster. Pre-order the mechoiu d’agneu (oven baked lamb) or enjoy its royal couscous rich with lamb and merguez. Fragrant desserts feature sweet, flaky pastry, syrups and oranges in every form. L’mida – Instagram-friendly interiors and a menu to match mean it’s wise to book a table at this chic converted Marachi house in the medina, near the spice market. The shaded roof terrace, decked out in rattan, cacti, tiles and a striking mural, is the place to head for refreshing mocktails, Moroccan-influenced dishes like Caesar salad with crispy harissa chickpeas or a poke bowl with a hit of sweet and sour chermoula sauce. Good veggie and vegan options include a 7-veg couscous. Le Trou Au Mur – This stylish medina restaurant with rooftop terrace serves Moroccan dishes – stuffed poussin with vermicelli and harissa; m’rouzia (beef slow cooked in saffron, ras le hanout and honey); beef or camel tangia - alongside international food w…

Copenhagen Best for new Nordic cuisine Home to world-beating restaurants such as Noma and Geranium, Copenhagen is one of the best European city break destinations for food lovers. It’s not all about Michelin stars and fine dining though – the city is also home to incredible bakeries, wine bars, markets, and more casual restaurants, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Food highlights for Copenhagen Koan – a new fine dining restaurant from chef Kristian Baumann opened in spring 2023 that expertly blends Korean flavours with Scandinavian ingredients. Juju – a more casual restaurant from Kristian Baumann offering takes on traditional Korean dishes like bulgogi, kimchi, and mandu (a type of dumpling found in Korea). Juno – join the queue for Juno, the city’s most hyped bakery, for freshly baked cardamom rolls and pistachio croissants. Kappo Ando – this 15-seat counter restaurant offers fresh sashimi, smoky grilled yakitori, and an incredible list of craft sakes, many of which are imported directly by the restaurant. POPL Burger – Noma’s lockdown burger pop-up has now gone permanent, and the burgers are well worthy of the hype. Baest – chef Christian Puglisi’s pizzeria serves some of the best pizzas in the world at Baest, with produce coming from his own organic farm. The restaurant even makes mozzarella, ricotta, and charcuteries from scratch. Pompette – natural wine is big in Copenhagen and Pompette is one of the best wine bars to pop in to for a glass – or grab a bottle from their shop with some charcuterie if you’re settling in. La Banchina – this cute café and wine bar is located right by the water. I…

description: We’re asking chefs to tell us about their favourite foodie places around the world. Mitshel Ibrahim of London restaurant Ombra shares his food experiences of Rome.
encoded: Interview by Joel Porter, words by Mitshel Ibrahim Anyone who knows me knows that the way to my heart is through pizza, pasta and fried food. Even though I’m from Milan, it’s Rome that really does it for me, food-wise – the fact that they do so much with very little draws me in every time. But it’s all interlaced with tradition, history, and a crossover of cultures from different regions of Italy and the city’s Jewish settlers. The amazing produce available and the number of unique dishes on offer make it a truly incredible destination for food lovers – Rome is a city that I can never stay away from for too long. 1. Pizza When you think of Italian food, pizza is one of the first things that comes to mind. Italians love all sorts: there are those who prefer it ‘rossa’ (no cheese), those who like it ‘bianca’ (no tomato), those who swear by Neapolitan-style, and those who prefer it Roman. Roman ‘pinsa’ pizza is made from wheat, rice and soy flours, and is slightly thinner than usual, with a much crispier bottom. With more water and less salt than traditional dough, pinsa is lighter, airier and easier to digest. Toppings range from the classic tomato, oregano and olive oil, to more inventive slices, such as courgette, fresh ricotta and lemon zest. 2. Jewish cuisine Rome has one of the oldest Jewish settlements in western Europe, and this has had a huge impact on the city’s cuisine. Cucina ebraica romana (Roman Jewish cuisine) is celebrated throughout Rome, and it’s one of the most unique aspects of the city. One of the most famous dishes is carciofi alla giudia, Jewish-style deep-fried artichokes served hot from the fryer. Other must-try dishes include fiori di zucca (fried courgette flowers stuffed with mozzarella) and baccalà all’ebraica (fried salt cod). 3. Pasta While central and southern Italy are known for pasta made with water and flour, Rome and the north are famous for egg pastas. The north was traditionally more affluent than the south, so they could afford th…

description: Head to Copenhagen for world-class restaurants, bountiful bakeries, street-food stalls and craft breweries. We've picked 5 top places to eat in this relaxed, waterside city.
encoded: The beautiful city of Copenhagen not only boasts some of the world's best eateries but is also teeming with cute coffee shops, wholesome bakeries and vibrant street food. From fine dining to cheap eats, we've selected a range of restaurants offering up the best of this culinary capital's local cuisine. 1. La Banchina One of the best restaurants in Copenhagen, La Banchina is a hidden gem located in the industrial harbour and may just offer the city’s most idyllic setting for dinner – based in the former gatehouse of the shipyard, it offers sweeping views across the water. It also features a wood-fired sauna and a long pier, where locals sunbathe, drink wine and swim from in summer. Indoors, seasonal set menus offer simple Italian and Nordic fare, plus natural wines, beers and pastries. Four-course menu from £45. 2. Amass Equally hidden, and almost next door to La Banchina, is Amass, a high-end yet relaxed restaurant housed in a huge gallery-like space. It's committed to sustainable, zero-waste practices and boasts its own garden growing vegetables, berries and herbs. Founded by Noma alumnus Matt Orlando in 2013, the creative menus include dishes such as beef tongue with shishito peppers and rat's tail radish, and wild blueberries with bread sherbert and burnt lemon skin cream. Tasting menus from £80. 3. Barr On the site of the original Noma is Barr, which opened in 2017. A more casual offering than its predecessor, it offers dishes like free-range pork schnitzel with horseradish, and brown crab with Belgian waffle. There's also a long list of local craft beers, which can be enjoyed with a few snacks in the adjoining bar. Four courses for £70. 4. Bæst Pizza might not be the first thing you think of eating in Copenhagen but, thanks to Bæst, it’s become an essential stop on the city’s food circuit. Located in the trendy Nørrebro district, Bæst takes the quality of its ingredients very seriously, making its own organic dough, mozzarella and ricotta in-house from scratch.…

encoded: Travellers are advised to read the FCO travel advice at gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice for the country they are travelling to. All recommendations have been reviewed and approved as of July 2018 and will be checked and updated annually. If you think there is any incorrect or out-of-date information in this guide please email us at goodfoodwebsite@immediate.co.uk. The French Riviera has long been one of the world’s most desirable destinations, famed for its limitless sunshine, beautiful scenery, miles of golden beaches and, of course, fantastic food. However, with the super yachts of Cannes and the glamour of St Tropez, the Côte d’Azur has also garnered a reputation for being the preserve of the rich and famous, so it’s unlikely to be in most travellers’ minds when considering a budget seaside break. But while the international glitterati descend on these well-known centres, French holidaymakers have long been in on a secret, opting for the quieter resorts of Hyères and the Golden Isles. By following their example, you’ll escape the crowds and still experience a top-notch gourmet getaway with gorgeous views at a fraction of the price. Read our four tips on where to sample the best local cuisine this region has to offer for travellers on a budget: 1. Les P’tits Plats Les P'tits Plats is a fantastic deli on the island of Porquerolles – the perfect place to stock up on picnic items to take to the beach for a relaxed lunch or dinner. Choose from a range of pâtés, olives, salads and breads. 2. La Cave Massillon A charming wine bar in the centre of Hyères, La Cave Massillon is the perfect spot for a casual dinner of local charcuterie and cheese, plus a few glasses of Provençal wine. It draws a local crowd and has live music at weekends. 3. Golden Isles Market On Saturday mornings in Hyères, market stalls stretch out along the length of Avenue Gambetta, offering a wide range of local cheeses, olives, fruits, vegetables, pastries and much more. 4. Boulangerie Fuselier Expect t…

Amsterdam is famous for many things, but a thriving restaurant scene has never been one of them. That’s all beginning to change, however, as the city looks to move beyond its hippy image and, led by a new wave of creative young Dutch chefs, establish itself among the great foodie capitals of Europe. 5 foodie things to do Puccini Bomboni Puccini Bomboni (various locations) sells incredible handmade chocolates. They don't come cheap but are well worth a splurge. Look out for unusual flavours such as rhubarb, tea and tamarind. They also do a range of sugar-free chocs. De Kaaskamer This is a cheese-lover's dream in the heart of a city that loves its cheese. The shelves are stacked high with the best that the Netherlands has to offer. Try a few samples before making a choice and they will vacuum-pack your chosen cheese for transport home. Foodhallen This is an indoor market in the De Hallen cultural centre. Foodhallen is the place to go for the city's best street-food vendors, serving everything from dim sum and fish to wood-fired pizzas and tacos. De Pijp One of Amsterdam's hippest areas, De Pijp is home to many organic cafes and cute boutiques making it a great place to wander. It's also where you'll find the Albert Cuyp Market, the largest outdoor market in the city boasting many stalls with fresh and cooked food. IJscuypje Serving freshly made, artisanal Dutch ice cream with all natural ingredients, IJscuypje (various locations) is an Amsterdam institution. During winter they switch to a traditional warming menu of Dutch mashed potato stew with peas & gravy, so check before making a special trip. Have we miss…
