3 Easy doubts. could you help me?

Hello. Could anyone help me with these doubts I have? I really appreciate your time

1) This sound incorrect. "It is open all the year at 24 hs". He wants to say that is open the 24 hs of the day everyday (all the year).

2) "I couldn´t go to any place". Is it correct? Should he write "I couldn´t go anywhere"?

3) We went to eat the most delicious food I have ever tasted. It sounds right to me, but is it?

Thank you!

In the US, it would be common to say "Open 24 hrs year round" "I couldn't go to any place" is not idiomatic. "I couldn't go anywhere" is fine, but a bit casual. The problem with (3) is more logical than grammatical.

Thank you Avangi,

So would you correct number 3 like this? Do you think this is much better?

"We went to Kansas (restaurant) and we ate the most delicious food I have ever tasted".

Thank you for your time.
