20 Fantastic Street Food Spots Around the World

Street food is,关键字3 above all, an adaptable genre, often born from resourceful cooks MacGyvering the most delicious dishes from minimalist set-ups. Because laws vary country to country, so do those set-ups. Your food might come from a highly regulated hawker center in Singapore, a multigenerational roadside stand in Bangkok, or a sprawling bazaar in Tajikistan. 

Because this list is more about vibes than hard rules, we’re including some places that have permanent, if unconventional, streetside digs. Think: a repurposed public toilet that now serves some of Berlin’s best late-night burgers to an old Renault van keeping Parisian revelers fueled with frites merguez. 

And while street food all-stars like Vietnam feature prominently, plenty of standouts can found in the United States, from a truck serving momos made by a former Tibetan monk in Queens, New York or it might be an impromptu Thai weekend market in the parking lot of a Buddhist temple in Los Angeles.
