• Italy has a similar cuisine as Spain, but generally the Mediterranean cuisine is the best, France generally isn’t bad, but quite overrated, we found the best Restaurants in Alsace, perhaps, if Seafood is your thing, you can add Marseille. Besides, the wines are good, but the French beer is horrible, it taste like dishwater. I have traveled a lot in Europe and I know what they offer in the culinary world and there is a clear trend of the further north, the worse. Maybe it has to do with the way of life and the climate. When forcefulness and calories prevail over sophistication.
