global cuisine

Food from everywhere

Global cuisine refers to food and cooking styles from around the world, or a culinary approach that draws freely from many national and regional traditions.

A restaurant offering global cuisine might serve Thai curry alongside Mexican tacos and Italian pasta.

The term suggests cosmopolitan variety rather than adherence to any single culinary tradition: The food hall features global cuisine from twelve different countries.
