Traveling is the best hobby there is! It enriches us with culture and beauty. We often spend months planning our holidays long-awaited in every detail, to plan: what to visit? In which restaurant to eat?
But then how to find the right restaurant on vacation, without falling into a tourist trap? You just need to have a sense of observation! Here are three essential clues that should scare you away immediately.
Choose the right restaurant
In restaurants, tourists are good customers! Because they can be served cheap junk and charged high prices… They don’t complain regarding it, in general, because they haven’t understood the trap.
Unfortunately, it is common around the world for some to take advantage of tourists by charging them unfair surcharges.

Choosing a restaurant should start before the trip itself. In the planning phase, in fact, it is possible to collect information on the typical products of the region you are visiting. And on the places that offer not only a quality offer, but also an adequate environment, service and price.
So how do you avoid tourist traps?
First of all, avoid those restaurants that appear in all tourist guides, forums, tourist sites and have a lot of reviews with more than positive comments. These are often fake reviews and comments, cleverly invented to lure customers.
Don’t be fooled nor by the restaurant brochure that you will find in the lobby of your hotel… Neither by the advice of the taxi driver who transported you… or by the restaurant that is too central, crowded and close to tourist attractions… Nor by the so-called traditional one… Behind these stratagems, nothing good is hidden!
1 – An extended and messy menu
Before entering the restaurant, read the menu in detail at the entrance.
A restaurant that offers local dishes but not only: pizzas, burgers, sushi, seafood… Stay away! Who says quantity often says poor quality!

Moreover, if the prices are very low, it is because, without a doubt, the quality of the products is mediocre.
If you want to enjoy a traditional local dish, so head to a specialty restaurant that only has 5-8 different dishes on its menu.
On the other hand, avoid ordering the “tourist menu”. Indeed, as a rule, these are menus translated into many languages, with poor quality photos. And who offer bad food at exorbitant prices.
2 – Restaurant staff cling to customers on the sidewalk
Often, while you are walking down the street, the staff of a restaurant in front of which you are standing calls out to you and invites you to sit down there. It smells like a tourist trap!
A quality restaurant does not need to hound the customer in the street. He builds his reputation through word of mouth and his good menu which he renews regularly!
3 – Stay away from crowded tourist areas!
Major tourist attractions are also often the most common tourist traps. Avoid spending too much time in these areas and try to explore the lesser known but authentic neighborhoods.
Find a good restaurant in the side streets (always paying close attention to safety.
Visit the local markets and therefore test a restaurant more frequented by locals!
This will allow you to have a more authentic experience. And above all to avoid exorbitant prices and poor quality services!
