Bristol has been named as one of the top 150 'foodie' cities on the planet. Sandwiched between Bern in Switzerland and Genoa in Spain, the city came in at 115th.
The list was compiled by blogger Asher Fergusson, who used resources, including the Michelin guide, the World's 100 Best Restaurants list, TripAdvisor and cost of living database Numbeo, to develop a points system that allowed him to calculate an overall "global foodie Index" for each city.
The five metrics that determined Bristol's ranking were the number of Michelin Guide restaurants, the number of eateries from the World’s 100 Best Restaurants, the variety of national cuisines available, the average cost of a three-course mid-range meal and the total number of restaurants per person.
