During the last view weeks, we have discussed the most crucial points to find the real deal under the millions of hotels available online. It seems like nothing can stop you anymore from enjoying a well-deserved and pleasant vacation. However, did you also miss the food part? Yes, me too, and in my opinion, probably the most important part on a vacation. Food just makes everything 1000 times nicer. If you didn’t notice until now, let me tell you: I’m a big foodie. I love to talk about food, eat good food but also try out new food. Long story short: Food is life!
Travels provide the best opportunities to experience culinary highs. Nevertheless, great opportunities can be missed easily if you’re wasting time and money at the wrong places. But, as always, I’ve got your back. Check these recommendations:
Google it
I know, this may sound really obvious to you, but make sure to invest enough time in a simple google search. Google ratings clearly outweigh those of Tripadvisor. Although Tripadvisor is probably the most well-known rating platform, in my opinion, the platform has lost value with increasing popularity. The top results are often budget restaurants or the ones with thousands of reviews. For example, newer restaurants with fewer reviews will never get to the top, even if their rating on average is better. I seriously might think about telling Tripadvisor to spend some more money on personalization. Hence, Google is in favor, as you can just type in certain key words (characteristics which are important for you such as ‘new restaurants 2021 location’) to your search and get personalized suggestions.
Find the ‘foodie’ blogs for the area
Additionally, I search for the local food blogs, such as Harry’s Ding in Switzerland. On these sites you come across THE places to be/eat. And especially, watch out for the restaurants who are mentioned multiple times, this usually only means good.
Look at Instagram pictures
I not only read through reviews when it comes to restaurants, but also have a look at the menu, as well as pictures. You can tell a lot about a restaurant by the way the food is presented. In this case, make use of the famous social media platform Instagram, which to be honest, has impressed me a lot of times with its capacity to find the perfect food spot. Why not trying to look up the official restaurant page on IG? Then swipe right to get the real insights by people who have already been in the respective restaurant.
And this is the end – it has been a great journey! I really enjoyed every second of it. And thanks to you, for your time reading and commenting. If you want to have a look at where it all started, below are all my other posts.
