How to find restaurants that locals like to go to when traveling?

In fact, many times when we travel to a place, we all want to eat local food, but sometimes we just go to an online celebrity shop, and the food is not as delicious as we thought. What shall we do? Let's have a look.

How to choose one, from the choice of accommodation to lay the foundation for foraging.

Choosing a place to stay near a scenic spot where people are concentrated is bound to keep you away from local food. If there is no great demand for transportation, it is strongly recommended to stay near residential areas, so that you can see food stalls under street lamps when you come back from your trip at night and meet a cheap but delicious simple breakfast before you leave in the morning.

In addition, if you choose youth travel and homestay, you will naturally have the opportunity to communicate with local people. Many homestay landlords are very enthusiastic and will live locally.

More and more hotels are also catering to travelers' demand for local experience, such as QT in Melbourne and Ace in Los Angeles.

The hotel has replaced all the service personnel who can interact with the guests with interesting non-hotel professionals. The front desk of the hotel is an art student, the bellman is a bar singer and the doorman is a graffiti writer. Chatting with them can not only harvest local food, but also have more wonderful local experiences.

Second, use the local food review app.

If you are not good at or unwilling to communicate with others too much. Then making good use of the local food review app is very suitable for you. Many people also like to open the "public comment" to find food when traveling abroad. In fact, the feedback from public comments is also contributed by tourists from China, which can only help you dig mines. It is not easy to find a shop that is really highly praised by local people.

But many places have their own review apps. Turn to the second page and find those shops with high evaluation but low ranking. It is very likely that it has the best local reputation. Such applications include foody in Vietnam, yelp in the United States and tabelog in Japan.

Third, drill into the alley as soon as you finish eating.

If Tianjin people recommend the best pancake fruit to you, the answer must be the one downstairs. The most authentic food must be in the local people's life, away from the scenic spots where tourists are everywhere, to the residential areas to the old city, and then to find those shops where diners are full or even long queues, which must be the local people's favorite.

A friend of Xi 'an once told me that the snack standard of Xi 'an in Huimin Street is the bottom line, and all the snacks here are just gathered for tourists to taste at one time. If you see a crowded cold noodle shop near a residential building, don't hesitate to go in and eat. It must be several times more delicious than the online celebrities in Huimin Street. And in such a store, you will have more opportunities to chat with local people who eat together and explore more local food.

Fourth, look for fresh local flavor in vegetable market and night market.

More and more tourists pay attention to the vegetable market, and more and more famous vegetable markets become "network celebrities", such as Sanyuanli Market in Beijing, Arch Market in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Polo Market in London, England and so on. Taiwan Province's night market and Thailand's weekend night market are famous for their delicious food.

However, in addition to these famous markets and night markets, most towns' markets and night markets are worth visiting. Local seasonal ingredients, grounded snacks and local people's attitude towards life are all available in these markets. If you live in a homestay or apartment with a kitchen, cooking a meal with some local ingredients is the biggest reward for your stomach during the trip.

Fifth, go to the local people's home for dinner!

This statement sounds a bit bold. In fact, not only those who are good at deep travel can do it, but also those who travel short distances. The artifact is coming, and there are many websites like "Eatwith".

You can find local people who can provide family dinners on it. If you go to London, new york, Spain, Italy and other places and get to know the local food quickly in this way, are you afraid that you won't be able to open the door to the new world?

Sixth, short-term cooking training, directly transformed into "locals"

Going to cooking training during the trip is too exaggerated? Since I can take the diving test and learn surfing and paragliding during my trip, what's wrong with me learning authentic local cooking? Now in France, Italy, Spain and Thailand, which are famous for their food, you can find short-term cooking training courses for travelers, many of which are taught in Chinese.

In addition, many resort hotels have experience activities ranging from half a day to 1 day, such as Raffles in Seychelles.

Tropical food courses and cocktail courses are offered, but such courses focus on experience. What you can learn depends on your "wisdom root".

This kind of cooking training or experience is easy to find, and both Cat's Eye Eagle and Lonelyplanet recommend it.

Seven, chat with local people

People are the most beautiful scenery. Only people who know a place can understand the scenery of this place. For us, the more important role of these people is to tell us where to eat.

Taxi drivers and hotel receptionists are all entry-level, while old people sitting on the roadside basking in the sun, talkative fruit stall owners, or people sitting next to each other on public transportation can all become your local food guides.

My habit is to chat everywhere I go. I once chatted with an aunt on the Taipei MRT, and talked that she almost took me home for dinner, just because I expressed my great love and covet for braised pork rice. It was she who recommended "Jinfeng Braised Pork Rice" to me. At that time, only local people knew about it. Now more and more tourists come here.

Eight, bold, cautious, shameless

Bold, dare to try, not afraid of making mistakes, "not delicious" is also a rare experience. There are a thousand kinds of bad things in a thousand places, so what? Eating the most authentic and delicious bite is my motivation.

Be careful, pay attention to all the information, strategies and guides about eating, and then choose the real "original flavor".

Shameless, I have been to an old restaurant in Madrid where many locals have been for a lifetime, and almost no tourists have arrived. It seems that it is the first time they have received people from China who can't speak Spanish. The waiter who didn't speak English at all went to the back kitchen to show me all kinds of ingredients and raw materials in order to explain what the dish was, but in the end I ate a kind of stewed salmon with flowers that I will never forget. It was delicious and the waiter was very happy because of my frequent praise.

Finally, all the "coup" are not important, what matters is your heart that pursues the most authentic and delicious.

May all travel be like living in the local area, and every meal be like a fountain when you are thirsty.

First, don't listen to what the internet says about how to be famous. This has a certain range. For example, when it comes to Ningbo's delicious food, it will introduce the Shipu Palace Museum in Ningbo. The dishes are authentic Ningbo Donghai fish, fresh and delicious, and the chef's craftsmanship is first-class. But there is a problem. This is a high-end catering enterprise, and guests usually go there. In addition, there is also a misunderstanding when looking at the evaluation. Most five-star hotels have a rating of 5, which is certainly good, but the price is there. Can you evaluate the accommodation fee of 800- 1000 a night? So I think you should choose a place where you can eat cheaply. First of all, you have to find your own position. There are several places you should avoid. First of all, you shouldn't go to restaurants near stations, docks, airports and tourist attractions. These places are generally more expensive.

Second, don't go to luxuriantly decorated high-end places, where the service is good, but you can't afford it.

Third, don't go to restaurants where you are hunting game and hunting exotic animals. The price will be too expensive for you to believe.

If you want to eat affordable food, first, you can choose local brands. For example, in Ningbo, you can choose chain fast food enterprises such as Yangcheng, New Sifang, Huabihe, Leibibao and canteen. These foods are mostly consumed by the public, with reasonable prices and various varieties. Like the new Sifang in Ningbo, there are hundreds of dishes, which can be found all over the country. For example, Shunwangji, Grandpa and Grandma in Hangzhou are all relatively affordable catering brands.

Second, try to go to the residential areas in the old city, such as Erdao Street and Xi 'an Road in Chengdu, which are much cheaper than Kuanzhai Lane, Jinli and Chunxi Road, and the food is more authentic.

Third, you should observe the hotel's passenger flow. If customers are busy and have to wait in line, this store can't go wrong, for example, waiting in line at Xi 'an North Road in Chengdu. Can this be a bad thing? If there are no customers in the hotel and there is a vacancy waiting for them, then you shouldn't go in.
