If your travel destination has a local market, you’re in luck and should definitely check it out. There’s nothing quite like going to a local market. You will find the best fresh seasonal products there, as well as some local food joints serving the best local meals. And you cannot underestimate how important it is to consume meals made with fresh ingredients when you travel. Trying the local market is also important if you plan to make your meals when traveling. 

2. Make a picture-based bucket list

You’ll likely find several pictures of mouthwatering local dishes in your chosen destination that you may want to try. Making a picture-based list of these foods is a good idea. All you have to do is show a picture to an attendant when you walk into a restaurant to know if they have those dishes. You can also show it to trusted locals you meet to point to where you can get these foods. You’ll find this option very useful in destinations where language difference is a barrier. 

3. Ask your accommodation staff for recommendations

Sometimes, the best way to find the best food is to ask the locals. You will also find some of the most reliable tips from locals working as attendants in your hotel or any other form of accommodation. Cab drivers can be useful sources of reliable tips, especially if you’re looking for local delicacies. Not only will a local show you where to find the best meals, but they’ll also probably add a tip or two about where not to go and what not to do.

4. Do your research before you go

Take the time to read about the food culture in the country you’re visiting. Next, look up some of the best meals and the places you can find them. Thankfully, almost every piece of information is now readily available on the internet. Regardless of which country or city you visit, a simple online search for the best restaurants in your city, for example, should give you the best options in your destination. You can also read food travel blogs or watch vlogs for useful tips before you set off.
