food scene

Local dining culture

A food scene is the collective restaurant and culinary culture of a particular place.

Cities compete over whose food scene is more vibrant or diverse: Austin's food scene has exploded in the last decade.

The term implies variety, quality, and buzz—not just that restaurants exist, but that eating out is a notable feature of local life.
