*Updated August 2017<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

One of the best ways to discover a new destination is through its food. \u00a0A shot of soju at a restaurant in Seoul allows you to peek into Korean culture. \u00a0Whether it is biting into an Oliebol (Dutch doughnut) or indulging in Okinawan Yakisoba you get to explore deeper into your destination. \u00a0That being said, here are my \u00a0essential travel dining tips on maximizing your experience (and your\u00a0taste buds).<\/p>\n

\"Travel<\/a>

\n

\u00a01. \u00a0Find out what’s good before your fly<\/i><\/b>:<\/h2>\n

The beauty of travel dining is that every destination\u00a0have a signature dish.\u00a0 If you go to Brussels, you must eat the famous frites. My tip:\u00a0Maison Antoine<\/a>\u00a0in Brussels.<\/i><\/b> If you head to Annapolis you must have Maryland Crab. My tip: Cantler’s<\/a>, it\u2019s quite busy in the summer (be prepared to wait an hour) but worth the visit!<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 Find out which culinary treasures your destination known for via the tourist board websites and local blogs. I still wonder who goes to Paris and eats at McDonald\u2019s!<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Step away from the tourist hot spots:<\/em><\/h2>\n
\n

It’s easy to eat near the main squares where there are rows of restaurants and hostesses eager to get you into their eateries. \u00a0Some of the best restaurants I’ve found have been tucked away in an alley or a side street, such as\u00a0L’Ange Gardien<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in the 20th arrondissment in Paris. The restaurant wine list specializes in small cellars across the South of France and has the best rice pudding\u00a0ever had!\u00a0Sometimes\u00a0found the best restaurants just from walking around a random\u00a0neighborhood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

3. \u00a0Ask your hotel staff:<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Many travelers automatically head to the concierge for foodie tips. I’ve received great recommendations from other staff members of hotels, from the front desk to the hotel manager. One of my most memorable meals of 2014 took place at a restaurant called Mossel & Gin<\/a> in Amsterdam at the recommendation of WestCord Art Hotel Amsterdam manager, Patrick.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Step away from your comfort zone:<\/em><\/h2>\n
\n

Order items you don’t have the time (or the skill) to make at home (like homemade pasta at Lupo Verde DC<\/a>) or things that you usually don’t eat. I’ve never been a fan of venison however, I decided to order it in Stockholm and it changed my opinion about the meat forever. \u00a0Tip: if you take the plunge and don’t like the meal, most restaurants are understanding enough to exchange your order.<\/i><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Do not underestimate the hotel restaurant:<\/h2>\n
Years ago, it seemed like a hotel restaurant was filled with lonely business travelers and mediocre meals. \u00a0Many hotels have hired top chefs to either consult on their menus or be executive chefs. For example, The Blue Duck Tavern at the Park Hyatt DC is a Michelin Starred restaurant. Also, do not underestimate a hotel bar. The Hotel La Concha in San Juan has some of the best dancing on the weekends in Puerto Rico.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

6. \u00a0Do not get turned off by a menu in a different language:<\/h2>\n
I actually get a warm and fuzzy when I see menus not published in English.\u00a0 Usually it\u2019s pretty indicative of a local spot. Most servers have working knowledge of English to guide you through a menu or if you are in a place off the radar, try Google Translate which also has a picture translate option. The photo part of the app is not 100% reliable but at least it translates key words. (Again, refer to tip #4)<\/div>\n

7. \u00a0Research tipping:<\/h2>\n
\n

In the US, we’re accustomed to tipping at a restaurant from 18-20% whereas in Europe a service charge is included in your meal and you can round up the bill or leave small bills. In Japan tipping is considered rude (I was once chased by a bartender at a club who returned my tip). \u00a0Tip: a handy resource:<\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span> great tipping guide from Frommer’s<\/a><\/p>\n

8. \u00a0Research customs:<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
Are you dining with business associates or prospective clients? Research the local dining culture. \u00a0In Korea, it is common to order for a whole table and share the meal among your colleagues. \u00a0While in Japan slurping your noodles is common and expected.\u00a0 In the Western world, it is common to order individual meals. \u00a0In Belgium a waiter will ask you if the food was good and they expect a sincere response.<\/div>\n

9. \u00a0Explore Markets and Street Food:<\/h2>\n
Not only do\u00a0markets, food halls, and street food\u00a0are a great way to explore the culture of your destination, but it\u2019s usually an affordable dining option. Being able to explore a market is the cornerstone of travel dining. One of my favorite places to head for street food in Puerto Rico is Pinones, less than a 10 minute drive from San Juan airport. The beach area is lined with food stands making delicious cod fritters, crab empanadas, and fresh coconut juice. You can have a meal for two for $10.\u00a0 Some people are afraid of street food.\u00a0 I have a strong stomach and never had problems\u00a0eating at the markets in Thailand.\u00a0 Unfortunately, my husband\u00a0does not but he prepares for it. Tip:\u00a0 If you are feeling adventurous, always make sure to pack Imodium in your toiletry bag!<\/i><\/div>\n

10. Find foodie inspiration online:\u00a0 <\/i><\/h2>\n
Us foodie\/travel bloggers do the homework for you, use us!\u00a0 I discovered a great restaurant in Barcelona called Little Italy BCN via Instagram.\u00a0 A friend of mine surprised his wife with a beautiful birthday brunch based on a review I wrote for Lavagna in Washington, DC.\u00a0 In Europe, good Mexican restaurants are hard to come by. I had the best tacos in Mexico at Tacos Rigo thanks to the recommendation from Tim of Marginal Boundaries blog. \u00a0Tip: reach out to your favorite travel or food blogger via social media and ask them for recommendations. They usually respond!<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n

11. Reviews:<\/h2>\n
\n

During my recent trip to Vienna, we wanted to have a traditional Wiener Schnitzel away from the tourist crowds (see tip #2).\u00a0 Decided to test out Yelp<\/a> in Austria and found a restaurant 10 minutes away from the hotel.\u00a0 We knew we hit the jackpot when all the reviews were in German (use Google Translate app or in my case a German speaking husband). Also, Open Table<\/a> allows you not only to make dinner reservations (they are currently expanding their international options) but you can also see reviews of the restaurant before you reserve.<\/p>\n

\n

12. Ask a Local:<\/h2>\n
\n

If there’s one travel dining tip you can take away from this post, let it be this one! If you are traveling for Business, ask your colleagues what\u2019s the best caf\u00e9 or restaurant.\u00a0 I recall having the best mofongo (mashed fried plantains) in Santo Domingo at the recommendation of one of my local colleagues. Tip:\u00a0 talk about your trip with your friends, they may have a friend or a family member would love to share their favorite spots.<\/i><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

To me, travel is about opening my eyes and palate to new things. It’s to return from a trip and have lasting memories of a memorable meal whether it is cheese and champagne along the Seine or eating Korean street food in Seoul for dinner on my way home from work.\u00a0 It is to go home to my parents in Western NY and cook mussels in white wine sauce from a recipe I learned in Brussels.\u00a0 What are your favorite travel dining\u00a0tips?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
