About Food for World
Food for World is a free city food guide. Every city gets its own magazine of the best street food, cafés and restaurants, and every spot in it is picked from what locals actually recommend on Reddit and food forums.
How we pick spots
We read through Reddit threads, travel forums and Q&A sites, and count which stalls, cafés and restaurants the people who live in a city keep recommending, again and again. No paid listings, no influencer freebies, no star ratings from people who visited once.
Each spot gets hearts for how much locals love it: three for a Legend, two for a Local Favourite, one for a Hidden Gem. Every spot page links the Reddit threads it was picked from, so you can read what locals said yourself.
The tier comes from how many local recommendations we found and how strong they were; the count is a guide, not a cut-off, because one glowing thread can matter more than three passing mentions.
- ❤️❤️❤️ Legend: named in thread after thread; the ones locals say you cannot skip. Across our guides, 8 to 68 local mentions each.
- ❤️❤️ Local Favourite: recommended again and again, year after year. Across our guides, 4 to 48 local mentions each.
- ❤️ Hidden Gem: fewer mentions, but the people who mention it rave about it. Across our guides, 3 to 10 local mentions each.
