The three worst cities to eat in Europe can all be found in the United Kingdom according to the third annual European Cities Survey from the world’s largest travel site, TripAdvisor.

The survey revealed that British food still has a bad reputation amongst travelers. London topped the list for the second year in a row despite being home to some of the world’s finest chefs.  Liverpool's cuisine was voted second worst; and, despite being the birthplace of one of Britain's most treasured dishes, chicken tikka massala, Birmingham's food was rated the third worst in Europe.

According to travelers the top city in Europe to eat is Rome-- the French capital came in second followed by Barcelona.

The TripAdvisor survey was held May-June and 2,963 European respondents, including 559 Britons, took part.
