Oppland Arbeiderblad – Gunnar has visited every country in the world. There is a type of restaurant where it is always far from

The summer is the peak season for holidays abroad and therefore also for eating in a restaurant abroad.

But how to find the right place? How to avoid expensive tourist traps and find good culinary experiences? The newspaper has spoken with experts to find tips to find in the jungle of restaurants

Innkeepers-restauranter

One type of place you may have fallen at once, one must believe globetrotter and journalist Gunnar Garfors, who visited the 198 countries of the world.

Usually, Garfors states that he never goes to places with alleged pitchers. There are employees who stand outside popular resort restaurants and try to attract innocent tourists.

– If they need to hire launchers, then there is a reason. I feel like such a scourge, "says Garfors at Nettavisen

Foodie and blogger Anders Husa also recommends going past such restaurants.

– Innkastere is a sure sign that the place has no reputation for good food and therefore has to resort to other ways to get guests, Husa told Nettavisen.

Flashing lights

Husa think there are several ways to identify places to avoid.

– Avoid general locations with big flashing signs, on-screen menus outside menus In many languages, pictures of food or worse – real food plates on display, he says .

Garfors believes, in turn, that you should be skeptical about major tourist arteries and empty restaurants. I just wanted to go if I had received highly recommended or I knew that I was very early out there. Otherwise, there is something about the restaurant that is for good and that has nothing to do with food, like the view, the food is rarely at the same level he says.

Tripadvisor Skeptic

Websites like TripAdvisor are popular for many tourists looking for a place to eat. Both Husa and Garfors are, however, skeptical.

– In general, I have only bad experiences with these services. I am unfortunately never proud of the rankings and their best lists. First of all, it is too easy to cheat on a good location and, on the other hand, I do not think that the sum of people's opinions is necessarily a good answer when it comes to restaurants, says Husa.

Garfors believes this Tripadvisor is characterized by being very Americanized

– It makes the Americans appreciate, in large part, that many of the best retiners are characterized

– Talk to People

Garfors believes the The best way to find a good place to eat is to talk to the locals.

– We are not so good Norwegians if we did not drink a few glasses. But it is they who know what is good, he says.

Husa prefers to receive advice from people he knows as much as possible.

– For places that are typical destinations, I'd like to go ahead of the bloggers interviewed who write about restaurants, says the blogger, who is more skeptical about the local issue.

– When I'm in more tourist resorts, it can sometimes be helpful to ask locals If this can also be a game of chance since you do not know the taste of the person, says Husa.

Having a tip

But if all this advice is too complicated, you can also play the role of Michelin-starred chef Bent Stiansen When you travel, use the guide of the good old Michelin guide.

– I am always satisfied with their recommendation, both in haute cuisine and low gastronomy. It works very well on a trip. They still deliver the goods, he says to Nettavisen

– But is not it so expensive?

– Neida, they have many different categories. A bit greedy where a menu costs 350 crowns and it's very good. They have all the "rank" of the food. I've never been disappointed, says the starred chef.
