New Orleans is the Best City in the World for Food right now, according to locals whose survey ratings were combined with insights from Time Out’s experts.  An impressive 93% of New Orleans locals rated their city highly for restaurants and dining out, with Time Out’s panel of food experts also singing its praises – so it’s no surprise the Big Easy topped Time Out’s list as the best city for food in 2025.

From traditional favourites like gumbo and beignets – celebrated at dedicated festivals – to world-class fine dining and iconic street food, the city serves up something for every palate, making it a true foodie’s paradise.

First, more than 18,500 people around the world were surveyed about food in their city and each city was ranked on how locals rated the quality and affordability of their food scene – with 18 different criteria. This data was then combined with scores from a panel of Time Out food experts – Time Out’s writers, food critics and Time Out Market chefs from the ten food and cultural markets open around the world – who were asked to share their insights into the best cities for food around the world right now. For the final list, Time Out editors included only the highest-scoring city for each c
