10. Phuket, Thailand
Phuket, the island in Thailand, is known as a low-cost destination loved by travellers, but the food scene is truly amazing.
Of course, it's not Thailand without street food. Night markets are full of delicious dishes to try, from pad Thai and chicken skewers to fried crickets and dumplings.
9. Lisbon, Portugal
The colourful capital of Lisbon has long been a tourist hotspot, thanks in part to its food scene.
Though Portuguese cuisine is varied and unique, there's nothing better than a frest Pastel de Nata.
8. New Orleans, USA
This city in the south of the USA may be known for its partying, but it's also got a humming food culture.
With plenty of Creole influences, the top two foods to eat in New Orleans are gumbo and beignets.
7. Barcelona, Spain
You probably don't need to be told twice to put Barcelona at the top of your bucket list. But if you're a foodie, it can't be missed.
Spanish tapas is obviously number one on the list - with everything from cured meats to potato croquettes and fresh seafood.
6. New Delhi, India
The bustling Indian capital of New Delhi is certainly an assault on the senses, and has a bustling street food scene.
