GOURMET TRAILS OF EUROPE

Lonely Planet’s latest guide is a feast for all the senses

Allow your tastebuds to guide you through Europe to find some delicious delights on your next holiday with the help of Lonely Planet Food’s latest guide, Gourmet Trails of Europe. Seeking out tasty treats is one of the top things travellers like to do and there are so many off the beaten track options, well-known and loved by locals, to discover at most traditional holiday destinations, that this book is bursting with suggestions.

Highlights include the Northern Soul delights of Northumberland, Volcanic flavours in Tenerife and Estonia’s seasonal specialties. Yet Lonely Planet Food’s Gourmet Trails of Europe doesn’t just reveal destinations that have unexpectedly amazing culinary scenes, it also showcases 40 locations across Europe for enjoying the very best local cuisine, with restaurant recommendations and tips from local experts, as well as epic food and drink itineraries to follow for gourmet weekend breaks.

Pick an itinerary and you’ll be unearthing unforgettable experiences around Europe, including bustling farmers’ markets, rustic tavernas, innovative restaurants, decadent chocolateries, revolutionary eco-distilleries, vibrant pop-up bars and much more. And each trail is accompanied by sumptuous full-colour photography and delightful trail maps.

Also in the book, you’ll meet the chefs cooking heirloom recipes, the trailblazing winemakers producing world-famous vino, and the culinary pioneers creating a whole new food language. Or perhaps you’ll be inspired to dine below Norway’s icy North Sea, devour fresh mezedhes in Greece or forage for wild herbs in Germany’s Black Forest.

So whether you want to spend your next weekend away pushing boundaries and eating bugs in Wales, or going classic and discovering UNESCO vineyards in France, there’s a food focus in here for you.
