It seems like everyone is a foodie these days. Globalisation has exposed more and more people to a wide variety of different cuisines and flavours. This has inspired a whole generation to pursue great food on a daily basis – this generation has also caught the travel bug and people are roaming far and wide throughout their lives. The combination of these two factors has made gastronomic tourism a big deal. If you are into this here are three destinations that are great to visit, if only for the food.

Italy is a truly spectacular place to eat, thanks to the country's inhabitant's obsession with great ingredients. Indeed, ask an Italian what makes a dish so special and they will focus on the home-grown tomatoes, and fresh basil rather than the recipe itself. If you are lucky enough to visit the country you will get to try impeccable pasta, pizza and fish every single day. Also be sure to accompany your meals with some coffee as there is nothing quite like sipping on an Italian espresso.

Toronto will surprise a lot of people as the city does not have a reputation as a culinary giant, and Canadian cuisine is by no means famous. Yet Toronto is amongst the most multi-cultural cities on Earth and this has given it a stunning array of restaurants which encompass the globe's cuisine. If you want picture perfect dim sum you can head to Chinatown, while great pizzas are served up in Little Italy. Korean restaurants abound in the suburbs, while Ethiopian can be tracked down easily. Finish off with some Portuguese chicken and you will have toured the whole world in just a few city blocks.

Finally, lovers of true indulgence should visit Paris. This will come as no surprise to anyone as the city towers over the culinary world. Michelin star restaurants are everywhere, and there is a great dedication to fine dining. Steak frites, mussels, fish and other French delicacies can be found everywhere in the city's innumerable fine restaurants. Be warned this city can be expensive, and if you head to the fancier restaurants you will end up leaving a fair bit of cash behind.

Thanks to the availability of cheap flights it is now possible to head off to these locations just to try the food.
