There’s no denying that, in 2020, the “Instagrammability” of a place plays a huge factor in a traveller’s decision to visit it. With 40% of millennials in the UK stating that they consider how Instagramable a location is when trip planning, it’s easily one of the biggest travel trends influencing the industry right now.
But, aside from a trendy cafe, super-luxe hotel, or an Instagrammable destination in general, there’s one thing that’s especially great for the ‘gram: restaurants. 17% of travellers reported that they use social media to find out how Instagrammable a restaurant is before visiting it. So, that must be why there’s been such an influx of coral-hued cafes and wild sea-submerged restaurants.
Trendy is trendy, and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down any time soon. Ranging from elegant to eccentric, the most Instagrammable restaurants in the world all have one thing in common: you’ll find loads of snaps of them on the social media platform. Where can you find them? All over the globe and right here in our list of the 50 most Instagrammable restaurants in the world.
