Look for menus in the city's native language - Dining out tip

When traveling to a foreign city, you can usually find the cheapest and best-tasting food by looking for menus that are written entirely in that city's native language.

Generally speaking, these venues are frequented by locals and are found off the beaten path. Travelers will find that restaurants catering to the local population are far less expensive than their tourist-orientated counterparts. Often, the food will be fresher and better prepared, as it has to cater to the discerning local.

Not only will you find the best and cheapest food – it will add to the overall cultural experience of your destination.
