Pho in Vietnam continues to be honored on a new ranking of Lonely Planet.
The magazine has ranked the Top 500 culinary experiences from around the globe to help foodies decide where to travel next.
The Vietnamese food comes in at number 20 on the list while Pintxos (tapas) in San Sebastian, curry laksa (spicy noodle soup) in Kuala Lumpur and sushi in Tokyo have been named as the top-three food experiences by travel experts of Lonely Planet.
Lonely Planet has asked hundreds of employees and collaborators around the world to offer their favorite food experiences. Then, the magazine’s food editors, Australian chef Adam Liaw and blogger Leyla Kazim evaluated to give a list of the last 500 experiences.
