  • The best cities for international food span the globe, from Bangkok to Moscow to New York.
  • Bott and Co, a legal organization in the UK, found the best cities for international food based on how many national cuisines are offered.
  • New York City came out on top, with restaurants offering 94 different national cuisines.

If you're bored of your neighborhood restaurant and are looking to spice up your meals with new global food options, you may consider moving to a new city - or even just visiting one.

Bott and Co, a legal organization in the UK, found the top 50 international cities for foodies, based on the number of nationalities represented in each city's restaurant scene.

To determine the ranking, Bott and Co analyzed restaurant data for every international city with a population of at least 1 million. To qualify as having a specific national cuisine available, the city needed to have a restaurant dedicated to the cuisine listed in Google Maps. They also found the top-rated restaurant for each cuisine in each city.

To place in the top 50, a city needed to have at least 34 different national cuisines represented.
