Venice is one of the most romantic cities in the world—canals, boat rides, narrow streets, Italy. It’s just dreamy.✨

Ever heard of supplì? If you’ve been to Rome, you’ve definitely seen these crispy, golden bites on street food menus. But what exactly are they, and why are known as the king of street food?

Imagine this: you take a bite of something crunchy on the outside your taste buds are hit with stretchy, melty mozzarella on the inside. That’s supplì for you! When you’re eating it, it’s actually supposed to resemble an old-school telephone: when you pull apart the two halves, that mozzarella connects in a long, cheesy string. That’s how you know it’s of quality.

Supplì are a Roman classic, made with risotto rice, mozzarella, and often a tomato-based ragù (or without, depending), then breaded and fried to crispy perfection.

Here Denyse is getting fresh supplì at Suppli Roma one of the best spots in the city.

Tag someone who you want to eat supplì Rome with! 👇

Venice sometimes gets a bad rap when it comes to food, mainly because many visitors aren’t sure what to look for in Venetian cuisine. For example, if it’s your first time in Italy, you might be tempted to order pizza. While you can find pizza in the city, it's not the city’s specialty, nor the best representation of what Venice has to offer.

Starting your trip with a food tour is a great way to discover the delicious, authentic dishes that locals truly love. Fried cup of seafood, anyone?

If you've ever been to Venice, what was the best thing you ate there?

Ever had a calamari sandwich?

If you’re visiting Madrid and want to try something truly local, this is it!

Lightly fried squid rings are tucked into a crusty roll and topped with a dollop of alioli or a splash of fresh lemon juice. Simple yet delicious, this classic bite, along with the city’s iconic cocido, is as madrileño as it gets.

(PS: We enjoy this iconic sandwich at one of the best spots in Madrid on our Madrid Ultimate Food Tour: https://takewalks.co/4aqZDao ❤)

Ever heard of the Madrid ritual: “La Hora del Vermut”?

La Hora del Vermut is a cherished pre-lunch tradition in Madrid, happening between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. It’s a time for friends and family to gather, enjoy vermouth, and relax before lunch. With roots in the late 19th century, vermouth is making a comeback in the city.

Here are some of our favorite spots to sip vermouth in Madrid:

🥃 Bar La Co**ha
A cozy gem in La Latina with a twist on the classic vermouth—served in a martini glass with gin and Campari for extra class. Pair it with anchovies or Spanish tortilla for a quintessential Madrid experience.

🥃 Casa Baranda
This Malasaña favorite features house vermouth paired with Iberian ham croquettes and marinated boquerones. A warm, familial vibe makes it a must-visit for vermouth lovers.

🥃 Bodegas Ricla
Home to Madrid’s oldest vermouth tap, this spot serves vermut de grifo with classic meatballs in the evening. A true local favorite for authentic vermouth culture.

🥃 Bodega de la Ardosa
Historic Malasaña bodega with legendary vermouth and arguably the best Spanish tortilla in the city. The vintage charm and friendly atmosphere make it a treasure.

🥃 La Hora del Vermut
Located in Mercado de San Miguel, this vermouth haven offers over 80 varieties and a perfect pairing of pickled bites. It’s a touristy spot, but worth at least a visit for the vibrant vermouth culture.

🥃 La Violeta
A charming spot located in Chamberi serving 30+ types of vermouth from across the country, perfectly paired with classic tapas like boquerones en vinagre. Perfect for a quaint date night or a stop before heading to Mercado Vallehermoso

When in Catalonia, do as the Catalans do! 🍇

The porrón is a unique wine pitcher that originated right here in this region. Its roots, however, date back to Ancient Egypt and later evolved into the Roman rhytons.

These days, it’s often used during family gatherings or when sharing tapas with friends at home or in traditional bodegas.
Getting it right might take a few tries, but that’s half the fun!

Fondue or Raclette—two cheesy classics, but do you know the difference? 👀

🫕 Fondue: Smooth, creamy melted cheese (like Comté or Emmental) with a splash of white wine, perfect for dipping bread. Pro tip: always rub the pot with garlic first.

🔥 Raclette: Gooey grilled cheese scraped onto boiled potatoes, charcuterie, and yes, pickles are a must.

Both are perfect for chilly months, and enjoyed throughout France, Switzerland, Belgium and beyond.

If you could only pick one, which would you pick? 📍 Tag a cheese-obsessed friend?
