Ace your food travel in 2024 with these chefs’ guides

When travelling to new places, we all look for trusted sources to help us find the best bars and restaurants to make our trips fulfilling gastro-adventures. We know that choosing where to eat whilst away can sometimes be months in the planning.

Who better to help us out then, than chefs, who live, work, breathe and eat their cities and have their fingers firmly on the pulses of their local scenes – and know all the nooks and cheffy crannies that the guides might miss.

Below we’ve compiled some of our favourite recent chefs’ maps for some of the world’s most exciting food destinations, a shower of expert tips from the world’s best chefs, from fine dining to street food to the best cocktail bars.
