The world’s 20 best cities for food right now

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

Steve's Music Store has announced on their website that it will permanently close its last remaining location on Sainte-Catherine Street, marking the end of an era for generations of musicians. Check out: Where to find the best shopping in Montreal According to a report by the CBC, the original store—founded in 1965 by Steve Kirman—opened in Old MontrĂ©al, selling musical instruments and equipment before expanding over the years with additional locations across Quebec and Ontario, including Toronto and Ottawa. After Steve Kirman's death in 2012, his son, Michael Kirman, took over the family business, which celebrated its 60th anniversary last year.

MĂ©tĂ©o Ă  MontrĂ©al : un week-end de fĂȘte des PĂšres sous la pluie, la fraĂźcheur et les nuages

Cette annĂ©e, le solstice d’étĂ© et la fĂȘte des PĂšres tombent le mĂȘme week-end. Malheureusement, la mĂ©tĂ©o ne semble pas vouloir participer aux cĂ©lĂ©brations. Si vous comptiez profiter du plein air, il serait peut-ĂȘtre prĂ©fĂ©rable de prĂ©voir des activitĂ©s Ă  l’intĂ©rieur.

Dans le sud du QuĂ©bec, les tempĂ©ratures maximales devraient plafonner entre 19 °C et 20 °C, bien loin de l’ambiance estivale espĂ©rĂ©e.
