Posted by It’s the last day of team Blogchatter’s Food Fest and I have just one post left to upload. I’ve already posted some of my food-related articles written earlier but never published (here, here and here) and yesterday, I shared links to my numerous food journeys across India. So, it makes sense to collate my international food stories for you to access and enjoy in one place. Hence, today the focus of the blog post is going to be on my culinary travels around the world or in other words – all the posts / articles I have written over the years about food that I have enjoyed on my international trips. Here are my culinary travels around the world.
London:
Having lived and studied in this beautiful city, London is like my second home. I’m fortunate that we have family living there too so it becomes an easy and frequent vacation spot for us. This also allows me to curate long lists of where you should eat when in London.
For child-friendly options, check these places out:
For regular options, check these places out:
For an article dedicated to the very English ritual of ‘Afternoon Tea’, read this:
Cambridge, United Kingdom:
A couple of years back, my husband was studying at Cambridge University in the UK. So, we have visited this beautiful university town many times. Here’s where you should eat if you’re planning a visit:
On that note, you may also be interested to know more about the similarities between British and Indian food:
United States of America:
I don’t want to mislead you guys because I’ve never visited the USA, so I don’t really have any information to share about the food there. However, I do want to share this article I wrote about a very American dish and how its various iterations are made in India. I’m talking about steaks. So, here goes:
The Gaggan Residency:
You may be wondering why I’m including a Delhi-based food experience in an article dedicated to international travels. But this pop-up by Michelin-star chef Gaggan Anand was a rare and exclusive international event in my home town. Chef Gaggan is of Indian origin but has become famous in his adopted country of Thailand for serving reimagined progressive Indian food. A meal in his original restaurant in Bangkok requires booking months in advance and is extremely expensive! I was fortunate to be invited to his Delhi pop-up and you can read more about this amazing experience here:
Adriano Baldassare Pop-Up:
On a similar vein, I was also fortunate to be able to try Italian Michelin-star chef Adriano Baldassare’s food at MKT, Chanakya in Delhi. Here’s what that experience was like:
There are other articles that I could include in this list, especially the ones related to a number of international wines and spirits. But maybe I’ll keep those for another post in the future. I hope you enjoyed reading my culinary writings! I have written extensively on the subject of food over the years and I’m sure I will continue to do so.

Wow, thats a great list to add to must travel and try list. Thanks for the compilation.
🙂
I’ve been to neither UK, nor USA but looking at the options you’ve listed out here, I feel like my tummy will be taken care of whenever I do visit these places. Bookmarking them for future reference and also to manifest my visits to these countries asap 😉
🙂
Tea at the House of Lords Peers’ Dining Room sounds like an experience. Truly, chai is everything for us now, long history of making it popular though. Not very fond of steaks, but I like Italian, Japanese and Lebanese, so those places in London, I have bookmarked.
🙂
Food and travel go hand in hand… sometimes even if the place is good but the food is bad… the whole holiday experience turns sour.
I will save this post for whenever I travel to the UK… it is helpful.
That aside, it must have been a great experience to be invited to an event of a michelin star chef… not one but two chefs and two events… wow!
🙂
Whoa! Your travel and culinary experiences are way, way ahead of mine. And so, these blogs add immense value to my life as I live your experiences through your words and pictures that evoke exotic delight.
🙂
I haven’t visited the UK or the USA yet, but this list is indeed helpful. I’m saving it for later and sharing it with friends who live there to see if they’ve tried these restaurants.
🙂
Thank you for sharing this comprehensive list. I am going to save it for future reference. I remember reading your post about Gaggan Residency.
🙂
Wow. This is truly a guide to travellers. I don’t experience food as much as I should, I guess. I tend to veer towards caution:) But thanks to my family am turning adventures. This is definitely bookmarked for future
🙂
Beautifully curated list for foodies. I will send these to my sister who lives in Europe; I’m sure she’ll love them and find it useful, esp. London where her daughter is working.
🙂
Loving your guides, Noor. I have read a couple of the posts but need to catch up on the others. As always, bookmarking it for future reference.
🙂
I have never visited these places but will soon add one of these in my list and try out dishes over there. Your list is so tempting that I want to try most of them.
🙂
One of the best parts about travelling is getting to taste the different cuisines. UK definitely has some great places to try, although authentic English cuisine is known to be boring. I have had the best food of my life in Vietnam so far.
🙂
You are indeed an expert in almost all field of Journalism, be it fashion, food, travel, parenting and I am sure there are lot more in your kitty. I am surely going to refer your recommended list when I plan to travel to any of the destinations you talked about.
🙂
Travel diaries are incomplete without food and am glad to see you bring your food journey together in this post. Although being a vegetarian it’s often tough for me to find healthy and tasty food in international cuisine. My palate is very Indian! 🙂
🙂
I have never been London not USA. But your list of hotels are impressive. I will bookmark this post. At unknown places where you can have delicious meal is most important and your post is rescue. Thank you for this food blog post. Nobody thinks to complied this kind of writing.
🙂
I’ve always wanted to try a classic English breakfast. It looks so hearty and delicious in all those pictures and reels.
🙂
A well curated list for people visiting these place. We intend to remember the places with travel to by the food we ate and the cuisine we enjoyed.
🙂
As much as I don’t understand why one would travel and still eat the same cuisine from where they came from and not try local dishes, I do understand as well that taste pallets may totally differ and one might as well simply have fusion kind of food. Indian food is really rich and have its distinct taste that one would really crave or try to find it anywhere around the world.
I’m sorry, your comment is confusing. I haven’t written about Indian food around the world, I’ve written about the best local food options in different cities around the world. Did you not read the post?
Some great places and an amazing curated list for world travelers and foodies. I am going to save this list, so that whenever I visit any of these places , I would love to try these eateries. Thank you, Noor.
