Cold cooked food and salads could harbour nasty gut exploding bacteria. This bacteria is killed when food is thoroughly cooked and still hot.

When choosing a restaurant I like to see a mixture of tourists and locals. It's good to talk to tourists about where they have visited so you can get tips, and the locals to find out more information about the local area. @ Gareth

Although sometimes going to a resturant when there are no tourists in has its downside. I was in Spain a few years ago and went to a resturant when I was the only person eating there (I was on my own). Too scared to leave, I ordered the chicken and it was literally swimming in blood. It was the Alain Prost cafe in Montmelo. Interesting I'd say! Very good tips. Although sometimes going to a resturant when there are no tourists in has its downside.

I always try to visit a forum or blog for the country that I am visiting. I find it a great way to get information about places that may not be mentioned in the usual travel guides. Another good way is just to ask someone local, 'where would you go for lunch or dinner, I'm looking for something authentic'. Also, if the place is busy with locals, then more than likely it will be a good place to eat. Great tips.
