This study aims to present a bibliometric analysis of academic articles at the intersection of gastronomy and experience-based research. Bibliometric studies are studies conducted to reveal the trends and development of academic studies in a particular field. The concept of gastronomy and experience are terms that are frequently used together, especially in the field of tourism, and the fact that the number of studies in this field has increased significantly in the last 10 years has necessitated the determination of the dynamics and development directions of the field. For this purpose, 413 research articles from the WoS (Web of Science) database were used as a data set. Bibliometric analyses were conducted using the Biblioshiny interface in the R statistical program. In the findings of the study, prominent authors, keyword cloud, prominent journals, authors, collaborations between countries and the orientations of the articles under study are visualized and presented with thematic maps. It is thought that the research findings will make a modest contribution to the field of gastronomy and experimentation and will guide researchers who want to work in this field.
