You’ll probably discover many picture-perfect cafés and restaurants while doing research for your trip, but most of them won’t come cheap. If you’re looking for ways to visit them on a limited budget, our five useful tips will help you get your foot in the door.

Perfect Choice

You’ll discover many Insta-friendly spots while planning your trip, but that doesn’t mean you have to visit them all. Pick one or two you’re most interested in, and stick to them.

Set a Budget

You’ll easily go over budget if you don’t know how much money you’re willing to spend on a meal. Have a spending cap in mind for drinks, main courses, and desserts, and keep it in mind when going through the menu.

Explore the Menu

Speaking of the menu, it’s a good idea to check it out online when possible to determine if a certain restaurant fits into your budget or not.

Skip Full Meals

If you’re only going to a certain café or a restaurant for its décor and atmosphere, you don’t have to order a full course. Getting a drink, an appetizer, or a dessert will get you a seat at the table.

Perfect Timing

If a restaurant in question has any happy hour offers during off-peak hours, put them to some good use – especially since it will be less crowded during those times.
