26 Jun 10 tips for visiting a restaurant
As detective novelist Sidney Sheldon used to say, “If I write about a restaurant and a dish in my novel, it means I’ve been to that restaurant and tried that dish.”
We place on our website only establishments that have been personally tested. For us, promotion and prestige do not matter. The main thing is that there was really delicious food.
Of course, we are all different and our taste is not a standard, but it can become a reference point for you in the gastronomic world. You do not have to agree with our ratings and we are always happy to receive from you your ratings of establishments and discuss your impressions. Keep in touch! And we will be glad if we turn out to be useful for you.
Keep 10 tips for visiting a restaurant that will help not to be disappointed and not to spend too much:
- The restaurant is judged by the cheapest position in the wine list. No self-respecting establishment will serve guests frankly bad drinks, so even the cheapest wine can be drunk without wincing. You can safely communicate this worldly wisdom to a companion who was invited to a restaurant a week before payday.
- If you order a bottle of wine, and not by the glass, it will be cheaper. In addition, this means that wine has not been in the bar for six months.
- Always ask to bring ice to your drink separately. If you order in fast food, ask for an ice-free drink. The more generously ice cubes are poured into your glass, the less of the drink itself is in it.
- If you see that on a beer glass the bubbles are “glued” to the walls, then it is poorly washed.
- If you want to ask the waiter for something, it is better to do it when he goes to the kitchen. Then there is less chance that he will forget about you, taking an order at the next table.
- To learn about the quality of fish and seafood , first order sashimi. Here, the chef will not be able to disguise the “third freshness” with Philadelphia cheese or a lot of wasabi.
- A signature dish, or “dish from the chef” is usually something that the restaurant needs to get rid of as soon as possible (the ingredients expire or no one orders this item on the menu).
- If you are brought a dish, and in it hair, cockroach, nails of the cook or some other ingredient, clearly superfluous in the recipe, before you require replacement, properly salt the dish. When they bring you another, you will know for sure whether the cook made a new one for you or if the kitchen just fished out of your plate what was floating there and returned it to you.
- Do you have a quick lunch in the airport hall before departure? Ask to bring the invoice along with the order.
- In order not to wait for a fluttered waiter on Friday evening in a popular bar for half an hour, order yourself two drinks at once instead of one. It is unlikely that your beer will have time to exhale in a glass!
