The world’s 20 best cities for food right now

This list is from 2025. Check out the latest ranking here. In January, we published our annual ranking of the world’s best cities. To create the list, we quizzed city-dwellers on everything from happiness and nightlife to walkability – and while all these factors are important in making a city great, let’s face it: a city is nothing without its food. From street eats to fine dining, family-run taverns to cutting-edge kitchens, eating and drinking is the backbone of local culture in our cities and the reason many of us choose to travel.  So, in order to figure out the great culinary metropolises of today, we surveyed thousands of people around the world about food in their city. We asked locals to rate their city’s food scene across 18 different criteria, including quality, affordability and attributes from ‘family-friendly’ to ‘experimental’.  Each city was ranked according to quality and affordability ratings, alongside a score from a panel of Time Out food experts – editors, food critics and Time Out Market chefs – who were asked to share their insights into the most exciting cities for food right now. To create the final ranking, we included only the highest-scoring city for each country to ensure the list reflects culinary cities globally. We then asked our global network of food writers to tell us exactly what makes their city such an exciting place to eat right now. The result? A very tasty list indeed. In each of these 20 cities, you’ll find the best of the old-school

Your next great glass of wine is waiting for you. Whether you’re looking for a shopping break or the perfect spot to kick off a big festival night, with 7 bars under one roof—including two wine bars, a cocktail bar, a beer bar, and a dedicated mocktail bar—the Market is the ultimate spot to sip and savour in the heart of Downtown Montreal.

Pair the Malabarista Macabeo with IbĂ©ricos' fried calamari, pan con tomate or Spanish omelette, or the crispy fried wontons from Red Tiger.  Try  vibrant Sauvignon Blanc packed with grapefruit, lime and tropical fruit notes, and enjoy it with Red Tiger's fresh spring rolls or papaya salad, La Capital Tacos' Ensalada Fresca (watermelon, mint and lime) or Moleskine's kale and cashew salad. The Kaya Iwayini Sauvignon Blanc is also an excellent match for fresh oysters at the wine bar. Craving a glass of something fresh and mineral-driven? The Terras de Paul Vinho Branco is a Portuguese white that pairs beautifully with Campo's Portuguese grilled chicken and quinoa salad, IbĂ©ricos' vegetable paella, or Blossom's salmon poke bowl.

Un « anneau de feu » météorologique pourrait déclencher de violents orages et un risque de tornade à Montréal

Une veille de tornade est en vigueur dans certaines rĂ©gions du QuĂ©bec, alors que les mĂ©tĂ©orologues prĂ©viennent que les conditions seront de plus en plus propices Ă  la formation de tornades, de vents destructeurs, de grĂȘle de gros calibre et de pluies torrentielles mardi aprĂšs-midi et en soirĂ©e. Les autoritĂ©s invitent la population Ă  suivre de prĂšs les avertissements mĂ©tĂ©orologiques, puisque la situation pourrait Ă©voluer rapidement et qu’une veille pourrait ĂȘtre remplacĂ©e par un avertissement de tornade si une tornade est observĂ©e ou dĂ©tectĂ©e par radar. Selon un reportage de The Weather Network, un important Ă©pisode de temps violent pourrait toucher la vallĂ©e du Saint-Laurent. Les orages pourraient dĂ©verser jusqu’à 50 mm de pluie en quelques heures, produire de la grĂȘle pouvant atteindre 4 cm de diamĂštre, des rafales de 110 Ă  120 km/h ainsi que des tornades isolĂ©es, dont certaines pourraient ĂȘtre puissantes.

A tornado watch has been issued for parts of Quebec as forecasters warn that conditions are becoming increasingly favourable for tornadoes, destructive winds, giant hail and torrential rainfall Tuesday afternoon and evening. Residents are urged to closely monitor weather alerts, as conditions can change rapidly and the watch could be upgraded to a tornado warning if a tornado develops or is detected. According to a report by The Weather Network, a high-impact severe weather outbreak could unfold across the St. Lawrence valley, with storms capable of producing 50 mm of rain in just a few hours, hail up to 4 centimetres in diameter, wind gusts reaching 110 to 120 km/h and isolated tornadoes, some of which could be strong.
