Where To
EAT IN 2024
here’s a big world of food out there and it’s never been easier to taste all of it. For the right price, the modern travel industry can ferry you to nearly any food scene on Earth in a matter of hours, and once you arrive, technology makes it seamless to find a serviceable restaurant, translate a menu, and examine
photos of dishes before ordering. Suddenly it feels like every cuisine is at the tip of our tastebuds all the time — an immense amount of info to parse, making it a full-time job just to plan a weekend getaway. It’s so much, in fact, that people are resorting to asking AI to write their itineraries and "set-jetting” to locations in their favorite shows, looking for any sort of guidance through the noise. Or they could do what we do: Ask a local what’s good to eat right now.
All 12 culinary destinations on this list are hitting their strides in 2024, according to our global network of on-the-ground contributors, making them obvious choices for hungry travelers. This is the year chefs in Udon Thani, Thailand, steal the spotlight from Bangkok with spicy-sour Isan cooking, the year Cairo’s contemporary restaurants redefine the ancient capital with modern takes on traditional Egyptian dishes, the year street vendors fuel a buzzing reggaeton scene in Medellín, Colombia. Among our intrepid team of expert locals this year? You, Eater readers, who have cemented Milwaukee as one of the buzziest dining scenes in the U.S., in our first-ever readers choice on the Where to Eat list.
So pack a bag, get hungry, and jump right into the maps and stories below — but consider all this a first taste. Eater will spend the next six months rolling out additional restaurant guides and features that continue to show why the places on our list belong on yours, too. Whether you visit during a snowy après-ski season in Vorarlberg, Austria, or enjoy a blissful summer of seafood on the Turkish Riviera, here's your easy, no-fuss, crystal clear guide to where you should eat this year. — Nick Mancall-Bitel
