I always choose a restaurant that has been recommended. I went to the Tasty Palace restaurant in Kos, it was full every night, with locals and tourists and the foood was out of this world.

So, recommendations are good from time to time but do not worry about being adventurous.

In my experience, you don’t have to wander more than 20 metres from the main street and you’ll gte some excellent and well-priced meals popular with the locals. Most travellers don’t get off the beaten tourist path at all which means you don’t have to go far to get off the beaten path yourself.

Perhaps “shabbiest” wasn’t the best choice of words – but as Jack says, these places that locals frequent and are off the main strip don’t look new, or have fancy artwork in them.

They have those places in every country

Interesting tips. But you would never go to the cheapest eating places. You would speak to the locals and find out the best places to eat and my moto is, try everything while on holiday. Experience the place that you visit.

I’ll second Erica on exploring the side streets to find good restaurants. This works *everywhere*. Just pick one that’s busy and located off the main drag, I’ll wager that it’ll be full of locals eating cheap and tasty dishes of local food. The place won’t always be shabby as Anil recommends, but it’ll *never* be spanking new, as a good lick of paint is all the owner needs to do now and then to keep his customers coming back!
