In Charlotte, there are many fantastic restaurants. However, which southern city has the crème de la crème? Food is something we all enjoy, so Remitly wanted to find out which city offers the most diverse food options when it comes to the number of restaurants that serve food outside of the city’s cuisine (for example, the non-American kitchen).

Data from TripAdvisor was used to analyze nearly one million restaurants worldwide and rank the total number of foreign food options in each city. The data was compared to the total population of the city.

With the top 10 cities in the United States (Las Vegas, Atlanta, Portland and San Francisco), but with 2,739 restaurants serving non-Belgian cuisine, Brussels tops the global rankings as the city with the greatest variety of restaurants . The world capital of gastronomy, Paris, ranked 7th. Surprisingly, New York is ranked 163rd. You can read more about the full study here.
