We’re heading to Norway’s third-largest city, Trondheim. Also known as the Viking capital, Trondheim boasts abundant culinary traditions, particularly at Christmas time. Monocle’s Oslo correspondent, Lars Bevanger, takes us on a taste-filled tour.
If you’re thinking of a continental excursion this winter, one place to head for culinary delights is Kraków. This picturesque city is at its best when covered in a thick blanket of snow and what better way to warm up than with a comforting plate of traditional pierogies. Monocle’s Flynn Symonds shows us his favourite spots in the city.
When in Rome, there’s no shortage of culinary outposts. But one neighbourhood in particular is known for serving up the city’s best traditional dishes. Monocle’s Lily Austin takes us for a stroll around Testaccio.
We’re heading to the salty shores of the Pacific Northwest, where a town famous for its boat building is also gaining a reputation as a dining destination. Monocle’s Seattle correspondent, Gregory Scruggs, took the ferry over to Port Townsend to find out more.
We’re back on familiar soil this week as we head to the East London neighbourhood of Dalston. This vibrant slice of the capital is renowned for its hole-in-the-wall coffee shops, high-end wine bars and some of London’s most exciting restaurants. Here, Monocle’s Hanna Pham shows us her favourite spots.
We head to the ancient city of Cusco in the Peruvian Andes to wander its breathtaking (literally) cobblestone streets, and taste both its traditional delicacies and contemporary cuisine. Here, Monocle’s Elna Schutz takes us on a gastronomic tour of what is considered the oldest living city in the Americas.
We head to Sweden, the home of cinnamon buns, or ‘kanelbullar’, to meet award winning home-cook Lina Walstrom. Monocle’s Tamara Thiessen heads to meet her in Vaxholm to learn how to make this staple Swedish treat.
Norway’s capital is not to be overlooked if you want a taste of the best that the Nordics have to offer. Much like its people, Oslo’s culinary scene is not brash or showy, so its most notable restaurants and bars can be easy to miss. Here, Monocle’s resident Norwegian, Gunnar Gronlid, helps us uncover some of the city’s best spots.
We swap city life for the hilltop town of Taormina in Sicily to soak up the last of the season’s sun. George Ruskin takes us on a tour of this elegant destination’s best culinary spots.
Today we’re heading upstream to Hudson, a leafy town north of New York, to sample its culinary delights. Monocle’s Anita Riotta takes us on a tour.
Today, we’re heading to France’s oldest city, Marseille. Known for its sunshine, sea and saffron, this melting pot of a port town seamlessly blends French, Italian, Mediterranean and North African cooking traditions and rituals. Here, Sarah Grice takes us on a tour of her favourite spots.
Today, Monocle’s Monica Lillis heads to the leafy suburb of Herne Hill in South London to sample its artisanal bakeries and cafés, sit down at some of the area’s best restaurants and tour its stalwart Sunday market. Take a listen.
On the Balearic isle of Ibiza the summer season is beginning to wind down. The legions of leisure seekers won’t officially dwindle until mid-October, when many of the island’s restaurants head off on their half-year hiatus. Moored in Ibiza Town, Monocle correspondent Liam Aldous has been tucking into the changing face of the port city’s food scene, which is seeing a growing number of restaurants turn into perennial offerings – a development that’s pleasing residents just as much as the tourists.
With the leaves beginning to turn golden brown in the Northern Hemisphere, Monocle’s Sana Jumani takes us on a tour of Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, an area renowned for its autumnal fare as well as its varied culinary scene.
Monocle’s Liv Kessler heads to Mendoza, the wine capital of Argentina, to explore the heart of the city’s culinary scene through the lens of its historic food culture.
This week we head to the Dublin neighbourhood of Stoneybatter, north of the River Liffey, to sample culinary delights ranging from freshly baked sourdough to authentic Italian fare.
Mandy Sinclair heads to the Dodgy Dock Restaurant and Bar food market on Grenada in the West Indies to meet some of the nation’s gastronomic pioneers and taste test the local cuisine.
Lithuania might not be the first place that you think of when it comes to gastronomic prowess but its ranking as number one on the World Happiness Index for under-thirties shows the country’s strength as a soft-power player. Here, Monocle’s Lily Austin heads to its capital, Vilnius, to get a taste of its burgeoning culinary scene.
