I know Lyon is France's gastronomic capital and San Sebastian is said to be the Spanish one, but wat about your country? Does it have a food capital?

Madrid, I believe, you can get food from every single region there.
I think Naples and Bologna share this title, which imo is fair because they represent the more mediterranean southern cuisine and the more central European northern cuisine.
Obviously, the other Italians in the thread will pitch in their random hometown down here 😁
I would have said Rotterdam, because big city and lots of different people from different cultures, so a wide variety of choices. But that’s most big cities in NL, so I chose Rotterdam because it is the birthplace of one of er new-age national dishes; de kapsalon.
But I googled and apparently it is Haarlem, I don’t think it’s common knowledge but it is due to their wide variety of restaurants or something.
I think 99% don’t really care for it though. The best typical dutch food is always made by grandmothers. And not some fancy restaurant in a big city.
I guess for Estonia, Põltsamaa (The city, not the parish or County), since 1 of our food brands is named “Põltsamaa”.
I don’t think so but if any probably just Warsaw for being both the biggest city and the capital.
Copenhagen, a great variety of food and some of the highest rated restaurants in the world.
Has gotta be one the mountains city. Istg, they got the best food.
Maybe Brasov? Maybe Sinaia? Who knows
It’s definitely not the capital itself however. Most people from there eat “Mici” and Kebab
In terms of variety, London is an easy answer, but Birmingham also does deserve a shout for the variety and quality of their curries. Seaside towns will be in contention for the best examples of our old national dish, fish and chips, too.
In the Netherlands it is Groningen, famius for its eierball and different kinds of stamppotten with a ‘Klokje’.
Hard to tell in Germany but probably actually Frankfurt am Main. Has the most Restaurants per person, has a lot of variety and thanks to the financial industry lots of upscale stuff too… otherwise it would probably be Berlin.
Tough but for traditional cuisine would say Thessaloníki or Crete. For new era foodie culture then Athens.
In Norway it would be Oslo, due to it being the most populous city. But i would make an argument that Stavanger might be a close second. With three 1 star and one 3 star michelin restaurants and the largest food festival in the country.
Lithuanian food is largely a home ordeal and doesn’t have that much culture hotspots and codification around it. The capital Vilnius is the obvious choice, but Klaipėda could also be argued for due to the prevalence of fish and some Samogitian influence.
