About this place
Recipes, portions and names can vary between restaurants. Ask about ingredients, meat stock, nuts, shellfish and cooking oil before ordering. Do not infer allergy safety or vegetarian suitability from a translated name. Confirm the portion size and total price, and choose a venue that suits your needs.
Before you go
Leave room to observe everyday life rather than treating every neighborhood as a staged attraction. Ask before photographing people or entering a workshop. In places of worship, follow posted rules and the guidance of the people responsible for the site. Buying a local craft is optional; learning about the maker can be as valuable as making a purchase.

Choose one main destination for a short visit and add a second only after checking the transfer. Group sights by actual location, not by how close their names look in a list. Keep the arrival day light, allow time to collect luggage and reach the hotel, and reserve an unplanned block for weather or transport changes.
