Many of us already knew. Donostia/San Sebastian has a place of honor among the top culinary destinations of the world. And that has now been confirmed in a study commissioned by Caterwings, a British catering service, in which they analyzed a wide and varied range of variables to come up with a list of the top 100 destinations for the lovers of good food.
Now, there is no doubt that taste is subjective, but a listing like this must try to be as objective as possible (even when, in the end, it’s the subjective things that we remember). That’s why the study took into account not only the opinions 20,000 cuisine journalists from all over the world, it also covered such varied aspects as the cost of a menu for two people, the number of Michelin stars, the number of hours a resident in that city would have to work to enjoy an “average” meal, the density of fast food locales, the density of restaurants, the percentage of vegan restaurants, and 11 other criteria.
The results have just been published, and San Sebastian is at the head of a list of 100 cities, placing it above the likes of Tokyo, New York, Barcelona, Singapore, or Paris.
So, yet another top-quality recommendation to visit the extraordinary culinary delights of San Sebastian, one of the things that elevates our country’s presence on the world stage.
We’ll leave you with the results of the study, published on the Caterwings website, and the information about the analysis found on the website of the Philippine daily Inquirer.
