We all have our favorite little Lebanese, around the corner. Or our super Italian who makes pizzas as good as in Naples! Gourmets and gourmets have understood that to awaken their taste buds, there is nothing better than to taste the specialties of the world! For a successful stay, it is ideal to combine the pleasures of taste with the joys of discovery. From Lebanon to Italy, Petit Futé offers you its 10 favorite destinations for a culinary journey!
N°10 - Spain, tapas and fiesta
Spain is undoubtedly the kingdom of the aperitif! We salivate at the sight of its tapas, its chorizo, its hams or its sangria. Here, every dish breathes the Mediterranean! Let's not forget to mention the famous paella, originally from Valencia. Its saffron rice with meat or seafood is a great classic of Iberian restaurants. If you're still hungry after all that, treat yourself to a Catalan cream!
N°9- Mexico, the tortilla in all its states!
In Mexico, the corn tortilla is king. You can enjoy it in enchilada, quesadilla or taco. And we don't forget the guacamole, the best you can taste is here! But let's not limit ourselves to these world famous dishes. Mexican cuisine, rich in Hispanic influences, also has many meat specialties such as chorizo or mole sauce usually poured over chicken... A delight!
N°8- Morocco and its oriental flavors
In Morocco, it is customary to eat with the hands. This custom testifies to the popular character of a cuisine that is passed on from generation to generation. The flavors are incomparable and the products tasty thanks to the favorable climate of the country. We melt for a couscous, a tagine or a delicious mint tea. Not to mention the tasty Moroccan pastries where almonds and honey are combined with the subtle aroma of orange blossom. A delight!
N°7- Peru, diversity and richness
The Peruvian cuisine is without doubt the richest in the world since it has, it seems, the greatest number of dishes. One can enjoy ceviche, a delicious specialty of marinated raw fish. You must also try the sweet potato fritters or the alfajores, fruit pastries that will arouse the taste buds of the gourmets. The cuy stew will leave the travelers a little perplexed. It is, in fact, a dish made with guinea pig... Good appetite!
N°6- India, country of a thousand spices
Who has never salivated at the sight of a chicken curry? Particularly spicy, Indian dishes are a marvel for the taste buds and a journey for all the senses! Turmeric, nutmeg, saffron, cumin... it's impossible to escape these tasty spices! In this gigantic country where a good part of the inhabitants are vegetarians, the cuisine is rich in vegetables and dried fruits. Don't hesitate to travel through India, from North to South, to taste its specialties!
N°5- France, between tradition and renewal
Often ranked among the most refined in the world for the influence of its great chefs, French cuisine also offers a particularly tasty local cuisine that is good to discover throughout the regions. As the home of cheese, it is possible to taste a different specialty every day of the year! It is accompanied, of course, by a crusty baguette and a famous wine!
N°4- Japan, philosophy and dietetics
Known for its lightness and its finesse, Japanese cuisine has made the rounds of the world with its famous sushi. If you are fond of it, it is time to travel to the land of the Rising Sun! You can discover the real ramen, the national dish. These very thin noodles are served in a broth flavored with soy sauce. Meat, vegetables or even seaweed are added before tasting it. A small pleasure to be savored with the end of your chopsticks!
N°3- Greece and its Mediterranean flavors
It is certainly here that the famous Mediterranean diet is the most respected! Healthy and refreshing, Greek cuisine is inseparable from its olive oil and aromatic plants. The salads, present at every meal, are delicious and the little salty touch of feta cheese very pleasant! You will also taste the real moussaka before ending on a sweet note: a delicious Greek baklava!
N°2- Lebanon, the empire of hummus
Lebanese cuisine is certainly one of the tastiest in the world! The main dishes, often based on lamb or mutton, are a delight. But very often, we love Lebanese cuisine for its fabulous mezze! These countless starters - hummus, tabbouleh, falafel... - could well constitute a complete meal as the choice is vast! To finish your meal, try the Lebanese coffee! Less famous than theespresso italiano, it is just as intense.
N°1 - Italy, a popular and warm cuisine
Without much suspense, Italy wins the prize! A gastronomic trip to the peninsula is an experience in itself. From schnitzel Milanese to Neapolitan pizza, pasta with pesto or tiramisù, it is a gourmet's paradise! Popular and family-friendly, the many traditional dishes are cooked with passion for a meal that always looks like a real ceremony! We promise you that after tasting the Italian pasta , it will be very difficult to get back to the ham and pasta..
