A Moroccan city on the global gastronomy podium
International recognition for Moroccan cuisine. In its highly anticipated ranking of the "best gastronomic destinations" for 2026, the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler magazine places Fez on the third step of the global podium. A major recognition that contrasts with the controversy sparked by the choice of the number one city.
Morocco continues to establish itself on the world map of gourmets. The Best Places to Go guide has designated Fez as the third best culinary destination in the world for the coming year, just behind Crete (Greece) and ahead of heavyweights like Hong Kong, Medellín (Colombia) or Seville (Spain).
The American magazine highlights destinations so exceptional that they alone justify a trip to discover their specialties.
The misunderstanding around Boston
While the presence of Fez is hailed, the top of the ranking has provoked an outcry on social media. It is the city of Boston (Massachusetts) that has won first place, a choice described as "nonsense" by many Internet users, including residents of the city.
On the X platform, ironic comments have flowed in the face of this editorial decision, with some wondering if the judges had "confused the clam chowder with haute cuisine". Despite the criticism, Condé Nast Traveler defends its choice, extolling the freshness of the seafood and the dynamism of the neighborhoods of the American city.
