Europe is basically a smorgasbord of tastes and textures and delectable treats that fill the stomach and feed the soul, and there’s no better way of exploring all its wonder than eating your way across it.
Whether you’re doing it on your own, or on a group trip with Topdeck – a great value option, especially now with 30% off selected European trips as part of their Mega Sale – your taste buds are not going to want to leave the Old Continent.
Shall we tuck in?
Breakfast in Madrid.
Every great holiday begins with a delicious breakfast, right?
Get your day off to a sugary start and do as the locals do: head down to the nearest chocolatería for the best hot chocolate and churros you’ve ever had in your life!
Sure, it may not be the healthiest option around, but boy, it sure is the tastiest, and you can always work off those extra calories whilst ambling through Madrid’s historic lanes and world-class museums.
Lunch in Prague.
It’s lunch time, and you can hear your little belly rumble.
Tuck into a svickova, a typical Czech dish that consists of sirloin prepared with vegetables, spiced with black pepper, allspice, bay leaf and thyme, and boiled with double cream.
You’re going to need the extra energy when you’re off exploring the gorgeous Prague castle and finding your way to the John Lennon memorial wall; peace, bro!
Indeed, the Czech capital is made for walking, and drinking beer – good beer.
Pilsen anyone? Na zdraví!
Afternoon snack in Barcelona.
You’re back in Spain, this time in artsy Barcelona, and whatever you do, don’t leave without feasting on a little jamon.
Spain’s culinary pride and joy, jamon is dry-cured ham, generally served in thin slices, or occasionally diced, and best enjoyed with a glass of red wine.
Once you’ve had your fix, it’s time to get back out on the streets, marvelling at Gaudi’s beloved city and learning about the city’s rich history that stretches back to Roman times.
Dinner in Rome.
You’re in Rome, so you just gotta do as the Romans do – eat pizza, like lots and lots of the stuff.
Although Mr. Raffaele Esposito, a baker from Naples, was the Italian that actually invented pizza as we know it today, you can’t visit Rome without sitting down with some mates for a slice (or three) of pizza.
Head to Da Remo (just a short walk from Piramide Metro Station) for a classic scrocchiarella (crispy thin crust) Roman-style pizza.
Delizioso!
Late night snack in Dubrovnik.

Finish off a day spent basking in the land of epic sunsets (and a night spent partying your butt off!) with the popular Croatian dish pasticada.
It’s basically stewed beef marinated in wine and herbs and cooked in a mouth watering plum sauce – the perfect late night snack!
Make sure you explore Dubrovnik’s charming medieval lanes the next day, taking a moment to appreciate its beautiful location perched in the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
So, is your mouth watering yet?
