Each year, the TasteAtlas Awards are a cause of joy for some and a cause of anger and resentment for others. We often get angry questions, including calls from embassies, about why we rated a cuisine a certain way.

Let's explain the methodology once again: visitors rate dishes, beverages, and ingredients, not cuisines. We do not rate anything; we only add and divide. We do not count all the votes; some are recognized as invalid by our system, for example, nationalistic or made by bots. Then, we take the average of the valid votes for all the best-rated dishes of each cuisine, and the system compiles the list. Each cuisine has between 10 to 50 best-rated dishes, depending on the size of the cuisine or the number of rated dishes on TasteAtlas.

Does this mean that some cuisines at the bottom of the ranking are really the worst ones? Of course not, but it's a great indicator of another problem. Norwegian cuisine, for example, has great ingredients. But who outside of Norway (and strangely, Midwestern United States) has heard of lefse, the tasty Norwegian "tortillas"? Why are tortillas, and even piadine, famous, but lefse unknown? A lousy ranking mostly means that certain cuisines are poorly promoted or that people outside that country have not had the opportunity to try their best dishes and ingredients. Instead of anger, it's better to think about how better to introduce foreigners to the best your cuisine has to offer.

And that’s it: this is the average rating of each European cuisine - on the map and ranked from the worst to best.
