The Caribbean roast sandwich at Cuban restaurant Paseo in Seattle was crowned the world's tastiest sandwich and the tastiest food in Europe award was given to a doner kebab dish at Karadeniz Pide Doner Salonu in Istanbul, Turkey.

London's fast food scene has burgeoned in recent years. Some of our favourite haunts include Mimmo La Bufala on South End Road in Hampstead, where you can get one of the most delicious margherita pizzas around. Banh Mi Bay in Holborn and Chancery Lane serves up moreish Vietnamese noodles and pancakes, and Bibendum restaurant off the King's Road rustles up fresh oysters amid traditional tiling and stained glass windows.
