The 10 best steaks in the world

The 10 best steaks in the world

What would be your death row meal? Some might choose sushi, many would choose pizza, but there’s a whopping proportion of us who would opt for a steak without a moment’s thought. Picture it: a generous hunk of freshly sizzled, melting beef, doused in smokey flavour and oozing all those salty, meaty juices, with some chips on the side. Drooling? Us too.  The good news? Outstanding steaks are being cooked all over the world, from Michelin-starred chefs searing it up in Paris to an Australian restaurant producing plates of meat in just 15 minutes – 15 minutes! So, for all the steak fanatics out there, we’ve called on our network of editors and international writers about their favourite spots for a steak in their city.

The 7 best cities in Morocco (that aren’t Marrakech)

The 7 best cities in Morocco (that aren’t Marrakech)

Many are drawn to Marrakech, Morocco’s tourist capital, for its riads, souk shopping, nightlife and more – and I don’t blame them. But its popularity comes with a price, and if you prefer less tourist-centric cities, there are several others in Morocco that offer all the above (and more), without the crowds. Head to the north – Casablanca, Tangier and Rabat – to experience progressive and thriving cities. Here you’ll find historic kasbahs (fortresses), medinas, souks and palaces alongside state-of-the-art theatres, museums and parks. In the south, laid-back ocean vibes flow in the coastal cities of Agadir and Essaouira. Ready to see another side of Morocco? Here are its best cities.
