Winning tip: Super fresh seafood in Athens

The main hall of Athens' Barbakios Agora market hides seafood so fresh that the air smells of salt water.in Hasapika, You can choose your fish and specify how you want it cooked, including seared octopus, salmon ceviche, and giant fried shrimp. The options are endlessly delicious. But the highlight is the hasapika bread. Homemade pasta in a decadent tomato soup filled with crawfish, mussels, and shrimp. It feeds three people, but the two of us fought for every last scrap, wiping the pan with warm bread soaked in olive oil. My Italian friend said this was one of the best pastas he had ever tasted. Worth 28 euros for 2 people.

Perfect pierogi, Krakow

When we visited last January, Krakow was beautiful but grim. As fugitives from the cold wind, we sneak into the alleys of the historic center of town, boneless, A vegan restaurant 3 minutes walk from the main square. I ordered the slippery platter, worth £6.50 pierogi, each dumpling is delicate but hearty, each packed with the peppery flavor of cabbage and mushrooms.

Burnt spaghetti from Bari, Italy

spaghetti all assassinsalso called spaghetti Bruciati (burnt spaghetti), it was the most amazing pasta I had in Bari. You can order it at most restaurants, but we first ate it on the Quay in Massaua Street. It will be specially made to order. This is probably Puglia's most famous traditional dish and has been featured on TV shows such as: Gino's Italy: Secrets of the South. This work also appears in Gabriela Genisi's detective novel Lolita Lobosco (her fifth book in the series was simply called Spaghetti All Assassina) and its accompanying television drama. The secret lies in the tomato sauce and the cooking method, in which parts of it are simmered until they become crispy, charred spaghetti. It's extremely spicy and once you taste it, it explodes like a moon rocket booster and takes your breath away. People came to see how we were doing. We found the people of Bari to be very friendly.

This vegan-friendly place serves traditional Georgian home-cooked food in the shape of an iconic boat. Khachapuri (bread with cheese). We had an appetizer platter with grilled aubergine and a vegetable spread flavored with local herbs such as walnuts, pomegranate and blue fenugreek. This is very characteristic and unique to Georgian cuisine. We then enjoyed a bean stew heated in a clay pot while pouring Georgian wine, one of the world's oldest wine traditions.

Join the queue when you come to Rome

It's a good sign that there's a line. Queuing for pizza in rainy Rome? It's worth the wait. L'Antico Forno Rossioli Via dei Chiavari is the pizza place to end all pizza places.

Contorni seduce you A wooden board lined with pizza options (thin crust and focaccia crust) is your final stop. If you can find porchetta (slow-roasted pork belly rolls), buy it. The potato and rosemary flatbread (no sauce) was excellent. supplement (Think slim arancini) Best in class. Be prepared to eat while standing outside, regardless of the weather.
