Ask reliable friends (of friends) who are experienced jetsetters or frequent travelers to know which places to go to and which to avoid. You can also ask locals who are more familiar with the place than anyone. Ask your concierge where the best hole-in-the-wall eateries are. Inquire with the boutique salesperson which tourist traps to avoid. Don’t be shy and it will pay off.

It’s simple! Log on to your Instagram, hit the search bar, and find pins in the country you’re going to and see what food people have posted and reviewed. Voila!
