Savor the Flavors: How to Find the Best Local Food When You Travel

One of the best ways to experience a destination is through its food. Whether you’re wandering cobblestone streets in Europe or relaxing on any beach, discovering authentic local flavors can turn a good trip into a great one.

So, how do you find the best local bites — the ones the locals actually eat?

1.  Ask Around

Start by asking around — hotel staff, taxi drivers, and shop owners often know the hidden gems that don’t make the guidebooks. Food markets are always a good bet, too. If you see long lines of locals, you’ve probably found something special!

2. Food Tours

Food tours can also be a fun and delicious way to dive into the culinary scene. Or, simply wander off the beaten path and follow the aromas. Sometimes the best meals come from the humblest kitchens.

3.  My Recommendations

For every trip (excluding cruises and theme parks), I will send you options.  Some are based on my personal experience while others are found in blogs by locals writing about the food scene in the area.   Just another way I help you enjoy their trip while also saving you time.
