TripAdvisor users: London’s food’s rubbish and Birmingham’s boring
Friday, 12 Jul, 2010

London is the most exciting city in Europe, the easiest to get around and rather clean to boot but forget eating out there and making your money stretch.
This is the conclusion of the latest TripAdvisor poll that asked 3000 users about Europe’s cities.
Our capital emerged as the most expensive and with the worst food in Europe but still able to pull the punters thanks to its mass of things to see and do.
It also got itself off the dirtiest city list, not even being shortlisted this year after last year being named as the dirtiest city in Europe.
The capital was the third safest after Geneva and Zurich but its food was the worst in Europe (although TravelMole dreads to think what expletives might explode from Gordon Ramsey’s mouth on hearing this cuss).
Poor old Birmingham got a kicking in the survey. TripAdvisor users in search of holiday romance said the city would not be on their must-see list as only the people of Krakow were more ugly in the whole of Europe.
It also served the third worst food in Europe after London and Liverpool, they thought, and was the most boring city on the continent.
Not much chance of this lot going on a romantic night out on Broad Street, then.
For what it’s worth, one of TravelMole’s finest culinary moments was in the city’s Balti Triangle. This poll’s respondents clearly havent been to the right restaurants.
