While London has 392 Michelin Guide restaurants, it was still beaten by Edinburgh, which has 24.

The report found that Edinburgh is a great city for those who are health conscious, as it has a total of 117 healthy restaurants available and 37 healthy delivery options from UberEats.

Another Scottish city also ranked highly on the list. Glasgow was named as the third best city for food lovers, narrowly missing out on the number two spot, due to having less Uber Eats restaurants than Manchester.
