The world’s 20 best cities for food right now

The world’s 20 best cities for food right now

This list is from 2025. Check out the latest ranking here. In January, we published our annual ranking of the world’s best cities. To create the list, we quizzed city-dwellers on everything from happiness and nightlife to walkability – and while all these factors are important in making a city great, let’s face it: a city is nothing without its food. From street eats to fine dining, family-run taverns to cutting-edge kitchens, eating and drinking is the backbone of local culture in our cities and the reason many of us choose to travel.  So, in order to figure out the great culinary metropolises of today, we surveyed thousands of people around the world about food in their city. We asked locals to rate their city’s food scene across 18 different criteria, including quality, affordability and attributes from ‘family-friendly’ to ‘experimental’.  Each city was ranked according to quality and affordability ratings, alongside a score from a panel of Time Out food experts – editors, food critics and Time Out Market chefs – who were asked to share their insights into the most exciting cities for food right now. To create the final ranking, we included only the highest-scoring city for each country to ensure the list reflects culinary cities globally. We then asked our global network of food writers to tell us exactly what makes their city such an exciting place to eat right now. The result? A very tasty list indeed. In each of these 20 cities, you’ll find the best of the old-school

Montreal braces for a dangerous heat wave as temperatures soar and thunderstorm risk explodes

Montreal braces for a dangerous heat wave as temperatures soar and thunderstorm risk explodes

UPDATE June 11, 2026: A risk of thunderstorms is in place across several regions of Quebec on Thursday. According to MĂ©tĂ©oMĂ©dia, while expected to be more isolated than Wednesday’s storms, they could bring torrential downpours, small hail and high humidity, particularly in southern parts of the province. Conditions will remain favourable for a potentially more volatile weather situation on Friday. A major heat wave is tightening its grip on Quebec—and it’s not just bringing the heat.   As high temperatures and humidity surge across the province, the threat of thunderstorms is expected to rise dramatically—setting the stage for several potentially volatile days ahead.

Thunderstorms may erupt across parts of Quebec from Wednesday through Friday, with a cold front on Friday triggering potentially severe weather. Temperatures flirting with 30°C will feel like 40°C, and as warm, moisture-laden air pushes into the province, conditions will become increasingly unstable.

MISE À JOUR le 11 juin, 2026: Un risque d’orages demeure prĂ©sent dans plusieurs rĂ©gions du QuĂ©bec jeudi. Selon MĂ©tĂ©oMĂ©dia, bien que plus isolĂ©s que ceux de mercredi, ils pourraient s’accompagner de pluie torrentielle, de petits grĂȘlons et d’une forte humiditĂ©, particuliĂšrement dans le sud de la province. Les conditions resteront propices Ă  une situation potentiellement plus explosive vendredi. Une importante vague de chaleur s’installe sur le QuĂ©bec — et elle ne vient pas seule.

MISE À JOUR — 10 juin 2026 : Alors que leur relation approche de son premier anniversaire, Katy Perry et Justin Trudeau envisageraient dĂ©jĂ  l’avenir. Selon Us Weekly, l’ancien premier ministre aurait fait visiter Ă  la chanteuse sa nouvelle rĂ©sidence de sept chambres situĂ©e dans le quartier d’Outremont, Ă  MontrĂ©al. Lors d’un rĂ©cent sĂ©jour dans la mĂ©tropole, le couple aurait partagĂ© son temps entre cette nouvelle propriĂ©tĂ© et des rĂ©sidences d’amis Ă  Westmount. Cette semaine a Ă©tĂ© mouvementĂ©e pour ce quartier montrĂ©alais. Selon le Montreal Gazette, un acte de vente confirme que l’ancien premier ministre canadien a achetĂ© une maison sur le versant nord du Mont-Royal pour 4,26 millions de dollars. Le rapport prĂ©cise que l’acte a Ă©tĂ© notariĂ© et enregistrĂ© officiellement au registre foncier du QuĂ©bec lundi dernier. OĂč se trouve la maison de Trudeau Ă  MontrĂ©al ? Il s’agit d’une maison unifamiliale Ă  deux Ă©tages situĂ©e Ă  Outremont, datant des annĂ©es 1930, dans laquelle il n’a pas encore emmĂ©nagĂ©.

The world’s most beautiful restaurants have been ranked—and Canada didn’t make the cut

The prestigious Prix Versailles has unveiled its 2026 list of the World’s Most Beautiful Restaurants, celebrating 16 extraordinary dining destinations where architecture, design and gastronomy come together in spectacular fashion. Spanning cities from Hong Kong and Helsinki to Los Angeles and Cape Town, this year’s selection showcases restaurants that blur the line between culinary excellence and architectural artistry.

Le Canada s’apprĂȘte Ă  bannir l’utilisation des rĂ©seaux sociaux pour les jeunes de moins de 16 ans dans le cadre d’un vaste projet de loi sur les prĂ©judices en ligne attendu Ă  Ottawa ce mercredi. Selon un article du National Post, le gouvernement de Mark Carney prĂ©pare une lĂ©gislation trĂšs attendue sur la sĂ©curitĂ© en ligne, qui inclurait une restriction nationale de l’accĂšs aux rĂ©seaux sociaux pour les mineurs. À voir : Mark Carney aperçu dans ce lieu prisĂ© de MontrĂ©al Est-ce que le Canada va vraiment interdire les rĂ©seaux sociaux ? Un reprĂ©sentant du gouvernement a confirmĂ© que le projet de loi jettera aussi les bases d’un nouvel organisme de rĂ©glementation de la sĂ©curitĂ© en ligne, en plus de renforcer les rĂšgles visant Ă  lutter contre les contenus nuisibles sur les plateformes numĂ©riques. La lĂ©gislation proposĂ©e permettrait aux entreprises de mĂ©dias sociaux de demander des exemptions si elles dĂ©montrent qu’elles disposent de mesures suffisantes pour protĂ©ger les jeunes utilisateurs.
