The European gastronomy is fine food and exquisite cooking known the World around for its high standard and great taste. This itinerary takes you to the culinary centers in Europe for your very own experiences in taste and culture.
The French Cuisine is World famous - the raw materials, the wine, the preparation and the use of spices make the difference. Food is important to the French, and this interest and savoir vivant creates a large demand for excellent food by the French themselves and the need for a large number of great restaurants - a high quality of restaurants that tourists also benefit from.
The Italian Cuisine with its pasta, pizza, spicing style and fine wines is a wonderful culinary experience. Finding a small restaurant in a little street in Old Rome or across the Tiber in Trastevere where you get the most delicious meals in a family run restaurant adds a charm of its own. When you have coffee, remember that Romans only drink coffee with milk in it like Cafe Latte in the morning, in the afternoon or evening they stick to espresso or Cafe Americain.
The star in Nordic Cuisine is Restaurant Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark. It holds 2 stars in the Guide Michelin for its excellence in creating incredible meals using ingredients from the Nordic countries. Add to this the further 11 restaurants in Copenhagen that have a star and the 6 restaurants that have a Bib Gourmand award in the Guide Michelin. And the undergrowth of young chefs that through creativity and great knowledge of their ingredients compose sublime meals in their own small restaurants at low prices. Have a gastronomical experience you will truly enjoy.

One word: Tapas. Going to bars in the evening and enjoying the classical tapas along with a glass of wine is a great experience. Tapas were originally pieces of bread or sausage that were put on top of a glass to keep flies and dirt from getting into the wine. These unpresuming lids have since developed into little wonderfully tasty meals. You might also consider going to Valencia to have Paella in the town where this seafood and rice dish was invented.
