We all know that Italy is a paradise for foodies, right? In particular, Bologna, Parma and Modena are hot spots. In Bologna, known as "La Grassa" (the big), enjoy an abundance of good food, such as tagliatelle al ragù and tortellini in broth.
Parma is all about Parmesan cheese and Parma ham. So a visit to a Parmigiano factory here is an absolute must! There you not only see how these delicacies are made, but you can also taste them. And as the Italians say: You know you're in good company when there's Parmigiano on the table.
And don't forget Modena, with the best balsamic vinegars in the world. Visit a traditional acetaia (vinegar factory) and learn all about the artisanal process.
Tokyo rocks because of its famous Tsukiji fish market. This market can be visited from the early morning hours and expect fresh sushi that is mindblowingly delicious. Seek out the best sushi restaurants in town and be enchanted by the delicate flavors and textures of this Japanese delicacy.
Experience the unique charm of Tokyo's izakayas, where you can chill and enjoy a wide selection of Japanese food and drinks. From yakitori and robatayaki, to sake. A taste of culture!
End your culinary exploration of Tokyo with a visit to the depachika: underground food halls. Here you'll dive into a sea of fresh produce, artisan delicacies and cool souvenirs to take home.
Welcome to Marrakesh, the city that awakens all your senses and where the scents of Moroccan cuisine meet you. Stroll through the colorful souks filled with herbs and spices, such as ras el hanout and saffron, which form the basis of many Moroccan dishes.
Must taste: mint tea, a traditional drink offered to you by many Moroccans as a sign of hospitality.
When the sun sets, the real food party arises! Explore night markets like Djemaa el Fna and immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere and flavors. From succulent meat skewers, freshly fried fish and sweet treats like sfenj (Moroccan doughnuts) and chebakia (sweet pastries).
Picture this: together with your colleagues at a long table on the Lisbon coast, the sun slowly setting while you enjoy a perfectly grilled sardine and cataplana (a heavenly seafood stew). All during a music show by Portuguese fado artists. Yes, that's life here!
Must taste: Pastéis de nata! Deze custardtaartjes met een krokante korst zijn echt een traktatie. De beste plek om ze te proeven? Pastéis de Belém! Maar eigenlijk kun je ze vrijwel overal in de stad vinden 😉
