If you think there is any incorrect or out of date information in this guide please e-mail us at goodfoodwebsite@immediate.co.uk Berlin is booming. To add to its deep-rooted creative culture, the German capital is now one of the world’s leading start-up hubs, with a thriving tech industry that’s attracted thousands of new global businesses to the city. Recent immigration has swelled Berlin’s population further, with a large Syrian demographic joining more well established Turkish and Vietnamese communities. The resulting impact of this new international culture on Berlin’s food scene has been dramatic; with scores of new restaurants offering a taste of new cultures and cuisines, there’s never been a better time to eat out. Treat your tastebuds by following this expert guide of the top restaurants and then check out our other helpful guides in our travel hub. We have guides for other cities, such as Paris, Edinburgh, Sheffield and Belfast.

Bistros, bars & brasseries If any small city in the UK was blessed with as many restaurants as La Rochelle, it would become a place of fevered foodie pilgrimage. Here, streets bristle with bistro after bistro, brasseries, bars and many, many seafood specialists. The locals deal with this bounty with a small so-what shrug: why wouldn’t we? But for us Brits, it would be as though Watford suddenly sprouted as many places to eat out as central London. We’re staying at the traditionally comfortable Hotel Champlain, perfect for exploring the ancient, porticoed streets. How to choose from La Ville Blanche’s riches? There’s everything from Michelin stars to converted boats selling fried seafood by the waterfront. The most heavily populated restaurant area, by the Vieux Port, is dominated by two imposing medieval towers, Tour Saint-Nicholas and Tour de la Chaîne. Quayside seafood Of the three quaysides, two appear to be entirely dedicated to eating and drinking. As is rue St Jean du Pérot, where we’re seduced by the famous Ernest le Glacier. We wallow in caramel ice cream spiked with local salt while watching the nautical life. The beloved André is a kitsch Disneyland of a fish restaurant (if they can drape it with nets, anchors and glass oats, they will), but a bit more our speed, across the inlet on rue Saint-Nicolas, is cool little cooperative restaurant Prao. With its brick walls and beardy barman, it’s the nearest La Rochelle gets to hipster. There’s no microwave, no freezer: they pride themselves on their freshness and locality (sadly, no longer a given in provincial France): we love our black pudding…

description: Discover haute cuisine, farmhouse kitchens and an abundance of local produce in Austrian Tyrol, with Good Food's travel writer Marina O'Loughlin
encoded: Up above the clouds, dominated by the gasp-inducing peak of Wilder Kaiser, Angerer Alm (angereralm.at), the first stop on our adventure in the Austrian Tyrol, is – a word I rarely use – unique. Owner Annemarie Foidl fell in love with this enchanting 200-year-old wooden Alpine ‘hut’ aged just 19, and has been dedicated to it ever since. But even visitors have to be dedicated: for one thing, it’s only reachable by ‘gondola’ cable car (there is a road, but it’s private and snowed under in winter). For another, if you turn up expecting international luxury, you’re likely to be somewhat taken aback – it hasn’t evolved that much over the years. There’s no point expecting room service or spas. In fact, there’s no point even expecting an en suite. But who cares when the place casts a powerful spell? Never mind the view, which takes the breath away from even the most jaded of travellers – there’s a thunderstorm over the Kitzbüheler Horn while we’re there and I can’t even begin to describe the drama. There’s Annemarie herself, who, in addition to running the place in her beautiful dirndl outfits, is also president of the Austrian Sommeliers Association. Her atmospheric tasting cellar is home to more than 6,000 vinous treasures, from a Madeira dating from 1795 to an Austrian pink fizz, S’Uhudler, that tastes bizarrely like wild strawberries. Delicious local produce Dinner, served in the wood-panelled dining room, all traditional wood-burning stove and cute little carved chairs, delivers more amazement. Annemarie’s daughter, Katharina, and partner, Gerald Weiss, are in the kitchen; this family affair belies the sophistication of what turns up during our no-choice dinner. From almost translucent slices of local venison, with rowan berry and herbed cream (all foraged from nearby forests) to the berkäse, modestly named ‘mountain cheese’ with the fine personality of a Beaufort or Comté, it’s wave after wave of pleasure. I adore cheese dumplings, bathed in brown butter and scattered…

description: Marina O'Loughlin explores the finest food in the Etna region of Sicily, including fresh lemons, homegrown pistachios and acorn-fed pork.
encoded: Travellers are advised to read the FCO travel advice at gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice for the country they are travelling to. If you think there is any incorrect or out-of-date information in this guide please email us at goodfoodwebsite@immediate.co.uk. It’s impossible to escape Mount Etna’s majestic, lowering presence on Sicily, the volcano’s smoke-puffing peak looming into view around every corner. The ancient little towns that cling to its slopes look slightly charred, the low-slung buildings coated with a light lacquering of sooty dust. The churches are made from volcanic stone, dark and brooding. But the fire-breathing mountain makes its presence felt in other, less melodramatic ways. The volcanic soil is almost miraculous – everything seems to grow bigger, sweeter, more packed with flavour than anywhere else. The grounds of our temporary home, the ravishing Rocca delle Tre Contrade, sprout groves of fat lemons, vegetable and herb patches, and fruit trees as far as the eye can see. G&Ts feature lemons plucked moments ago. The villa’s produce turns up at the table too: forest fruits for breakfast, freshly podded peas and garlands of herbs at dinner. This meticulously restored piece of Sicilian history is usually booked by larger groups, but we’re lucky enough to have it – and its breathtaking infinity pool – to ourselves. Our hosts, Jon Moslet and Marco Scire, are thoroughly immersed in the region’s culinary traditions: they’re installing a cookery school in the building’s lower floors, due to play host to a number of big-name chefs. And they’re determined to show us the best butchers, and where to buy the finest fish: at their suggestion we make a pilgrimage to nearby Riposto to watch the fishermen unload their catch of velvety red prawns, tuna, sardines, swordfish and local exotica I can’t put a name to, straight onto the market’s marble slabs. Or where to find the most delicious arancini stuffed with pistachios in the unassuming Nuovo Caffè al Portico (+39 34…

encoded: One thing is for sure, there’s never been a better time for us to fuel our obsessions. Restaurants in the UK are better today than they’ve ever been – as The Guardian’s (anonymous) restaurant critic, I’m lucky enough to be able to scour the country for the good stuff, and there’s a lot of it out there. Once, venturing beyond the big cities meant menus pockmarked with the offerings of mass caterers; today, more and more independents are not only cooking everything from scratch, but baking their own bread, fermenting their own pickles and curing their own charcuterie. On the home front, keen cooks are also basking in a golden age. We can take advantage of supermarkets stocking anything from arak to za’atar as a matter of course, and the high streets brim with independent food stores, delis and coffee shops. Formerly stodgy old Britain is now a food lover’s paradise. Are you an extreme foodie? How many of the below extreme foodie traits apply to you? Let us know in the comments below. 1. You’d never ever call yourself a foodie (shudder) but for some strange reason, there isn’t a better word to describe you. Foodist or foodista are no better – and foodie seems to just stick like treacle. Our kingdom for anyone who can come up with an alternative (let us know in the comments below). 2. You're perfectly happy to walk a mile to the place that roasts its own Tanzanian coffee beans. Anyway, you're wearing your Fitbit/Jawbone/whatever fitness tracker - it gives you goals and makes you feel better about the fact that you're going to add a single-estate chocolate brownies to your coffee purchase: a not-too-hot flat white with perfectly tempered milk. 3. The fishmonger knows you by name and calls you when razor clams are at their peak. You have kindly introduced him to the concept of ageing fish, just as you do beef, to his secret amusement. But you have the last laugh as you cut into the firm creamy flesh of a Kentish sole that has dry-matured for a week. 4. Your children’s pac…

description: Scandinavia is the hot foodie destination right now, and Oslo is the rising star. Marina O'Loughlin travels to Norway to find the best places to eat, from ultra-modern Michelin-starred restaurants to cutting-edge fusion food.
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 1 August 2016 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. This is the most visually perfect thing: a deep bowl full of velvet-crimson rose petals, on top of which is what turns out to be onion fermented into unexpected sweetness, studded with fresh cow’s milk yogurt and dusted with dehydrated, crystallised rose powder that glitters like mica. This is the curtain-raiser for an unforgettable meal, 21 courses of innovative food from Esben Holmboe Bang’s team in Oslo’s Maaemo – just awarded the full three stars from Messieurs Michelin. The accolades are unsurprising: Maaemo’s food defines the word stellar. Whether it’s a tiny snack of chicken skin topped with langoustines’ claws and brain meat (honestly, delicious) dotted with delicate dried flowers, or northern reindeer scattered with lichen in a moody pool of juniper berries, it’s a thrilling distillation of Norway on the plate. There are more staff than customers in this extraordinary Bjørvika restaurant – also home to the eye-popping Opera House: walk up it, right onto the roof, to build up an appetite. This is a meal I’ll remember for years to come. "The one name on every insider’s lips is Pjoltergeist, a dark, loud space in a former Hells Angels bar in Fredensborg." Maaemo may be the most luminous star in town, but Oslo is heaving with exciting places to eat. From the glittering, fjord-facing promontory of Aker Brygge, where every second striking building houses restaurants, art galleries or chic design hotels, to ancient Gamlebyen and grungy Grønland, it’s impossible to go hungry. There are restaurants and cafés at every turn. The one name on every insider’s lips is Pjoltergeist, a dark, loud space in a form…
