Whether you’re a risk-taker who enjoys sampling unfamiliar cuisine or you prefer to stick with ingredients you know, food is an essential part of any travel experience. Some destinations, like New York, Paris, and Rome, have well-established reputations as gastronomic hotspots, but that doesn’t mean that good food can’t be found elsewhere. In fact, there are plenty of lesser-known destinations that can give these cities a run for their money. Read on to learn more about our favorite underrated food destinations.

Oaxaca, Mexico

In the mountains of southern Mexico, Oaxaca offers food-loving travelers the opportunity to sample a lesser-known side of Mexican cuisine. The city’s rich culinary heritage is shaped largely by native ingredients such as corn, beans, and fresh herbs, with many dishes prepared using traditional smoking methods. Most popular among them is mole, a spicy sauce made with seeds, nuts, and sometimes even chocolate, ground together and served over meat and tamales.

Chengdu, China

While Beijing and Shanghai tend to steal the culinary spotlight, Chengdu sits quietly in China’s Sichuan province as a secret haven for spice enthusiasts. As local tradition dictates using liberal amounts of garlic, chili, and the indigenous Sichuan pepper in most dishes, cuisine in the region is flavorful and bold, with meats and rice typically serving as a base. Try some authentic Kung Pao chicken, or stick with hot and sour noodles for a vegetarian option.

Porto, Portugal

When it comes to food destinations in Europe, Italy and France reign supreme, but Portugal can also certainly hold its own. Porto, in particular, has a unique gastronomic charm influenced heavily by the city’s position along the Atlantic coast. Fresh seafood and wine serve as staples within the local dining culture, with hearty soups and sandwiches filling in some of the more casual gaps. One of our favorites is Francesinha, a sandwich of toasted bread and cured meats, topped with melted cheese and a ladle of spiced tomato broth.

It seems as if almost every city in the world has their own version of fries. Somehow they’re all super unique (and delicious!). So, where are the best fries in the world?

Belgian Fries From Brussels

Belgian fries are easily some of the best fries in the world. They are always thick-cut, so you really taste the potato. The secret to their taste and crispiness is that they’re always double-fried!

Amsterdam Fries From Amsterdam

What’s better than fries that come in a paper cone? For whatever reason, they are even more fun to eat when they come in a cone shape–plus, they’re easier to eat on the go! 

Poutine Fries From Quebec

Poutine Fries are loaded with cheese curds and gravy, making it a heavy snack. If you love squeaky cheese, you’ll love these. 

Fish and Chips From London

If you want fries in London, you’ll have to ask for “chips”. There’s nothing more classic than fish and chips, and they are sure to leave you satisfied!

Pommes Frites From Paris

Despite most people calling fries, “French fries”, they didn’t actually originate there. Nevertheless, they still make great fries, but they’re called Pommes Frites! Try them drizzled with aioli instead of ketchup to get a more authentic experience.

One of the best things about traveling is getting to try many new foods and explore cuisines of different countries. Every place in the world has its own amazing dishes and here are some we believe everyone should try—and are actually worth a visit to the country they originated from.

Japan: Fugu

Fugu is a controversial pufferfish that’s extremely poisonous unless prepared in the right way. If you have a chance to try it in a restaurant, don’t hesitate. Chefs who prepare fugu must undergo years of special training before they can get a license. They are then able to prepare the fish in many ways and turn it into a delicious, exclusive meal.

Cambodia: Fried Spider

You can try fried spider across Cambodia but it’s a specialty in the town of Skun in the Kampong Cham Province. There are many street vendors who sell deep-fried tarantula spiders in garlic oil that are actually a crunchy snack. Cambodians believe that eating fried spiders can increase your beauty.

Mexico: Escamoles

What looks like a grain salad at first is actually a dish made with ant larvae. It’s also called insect caviar and is considered a delicacy in Mexico. Escamoles date back to the Aztec time. They taste slightly nutty and can be found in dishes like tacos and omelets or served on their own.

People in different countries enjoy their ice cream in many amazing ways. Here are a few unique ones to check out.

Japan

You will find mochi nearly everywhere in Japan, although you may think that you’re looking at macaroons at first. Mochi is shaped into small balls and wrapped with rice paste so it doesn’t melt. 

Germany

Spaghettieis is a German dessert made by making vanilla ice cream look like spaghetti and adding strawberry sauce to mimic tomato sauce. Other ingredients may be added, like coconut to replace shredded parmesan cheese. How fun is this?

Italy

We can’t skip Italy’s famous gelato. It dates back to the ancient Roman times and has stood the test of time. Even today gelato is a beloved dessert choice, especially in the summer. It comes in so many different flavors!

Turkey

Dondurma is Turkish ice cream made with salep and mastic. It’s chewy like taffy but cold like ice cream, and a big hit among tourists who visit the country.

Cuba

The ice cream at Cuban “heladerias” are big and cheap. There are many flavors to choose from, but the most popular is called mantecado—a custard base with some cinnamon and nutmeg. It tastes like heaven!

Traveling is as much about food as it is about seeing new places. Food is a big part of most cultures and you can’t call yourself a true traveler if you don’t try local food wherever you go. Here are 3 foods that we believe every traveler should try at least once.

Fugu: Japan

Fugu is a Japanese pufferfish with enough poison to kill 30 people, but it’s completely safe to eat when prepared by a skilled Japanese chef who goes through years of training before being able to serve fugu. The fish is in season from October to March.

Fried Spider: Cambodia

If you’re in Cambodia, don’t miss the chance to try a deep-fried spider. Cambodian cooks typically prepare tarantula and believe that it has the ability to increase the beauty of the person eating it.

Haggis: Scotland

Haggis is Scotland’s national dish. It’s made with sheep’s heart, liver, and lungs mixed with oatmeal, onion, spices, and stock. The dish originates from the 1400s and is often served with some Scotch whiskey.
