What is a street food walk video?

It is a real walk through a food street or food district, filmed at eye level in one take or a few long takes. There is usually no presenter: you see the stalls, the cooking and the crowd as you would if you were walking there yourself, with the natural sound of the street.

Which cities have the best street food walks?

Bangkok, Osaka, Seoul, Hanoi, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei and Istanbul are the classics, and every one of them is in this collection. Palermo and Naples are the great street food cities of Europe, and Lahore, Marrakech and Dakar show food streets few visitors get to see.

What is the difference between street food walks and market walks?

Street food walks follow open food streets, stalls and food districts. Walks through covered markets, bazaars, souks and night markets are collected separately in Markets & bazaars, so the two collections do not repeat the same videos.

Do you recommend specific restaurants or stalls?

No. Stalls move, change owners and close, so we do not name them. Each city guide lists the food streets, markets and dishes worth trying, and the videos show you what those streets look like right now.

About street food walks

Some of the best ways to understand a city are the streets where it eats. These walks follow food streets as they really are: grills and woks going at the curb, queues at the busiest stalls, steam, smoke and the noise of a crowd deciding what to eat. In Asia you can walk Yaowarat Road in Bangkok's Chinatown and the student food street of Banthat Thong Road, the neon of Dotonbori in Osaka, Nakamise Street in Asakusa, Myeongdong in Seoul, Nampodong in Busan, Jalan Alor in Kuala Lumpur, Ximending in Taipei, Qianmen in Beijing and the Old Quarter of Hanoi at seven in the morning.

Further west there is Turkish street food in Istanbul, the medina of Marrakech after dark, the old streets of Lahore, tapas evenings in Seville and Granada, Spaccanapoli in Naples and a Sicilian street food tour in Palermo, and food walks in Dakar, Sousse, Manila and George Town. Watch them to get hungry, or to see what a food street is really like before you go. Covered markets, bazaars and souks have their own collection in Markets & bazaars; each city guide also lists the best food streets and dishes to try.
