Orlando was also ranked as having the most restaurants per capita, tying with Los Angeles. The City Beautiful was also in a six-way tie for most coffee shops per capita, according to the WalletHub ranking.

In order to reach its ranking, WalletHub looked at 29 metrics such as the cost of groceries in each city, the average cost of beer and wine, restaurants per capita and access to healthy food options.

“Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the most favorable conditions and costs for foodies,” according to the finance website.
