The post Best Restaurants in Barcelona, Spain to Delve Into the Local Flavor appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>If you’re looking for bursting flavors, then there’s no better place to eat than Disfrutar. Spanish for “enjoy,” Disfrutar blends local flavors in unique dishes, including its famous macaroni à la carbonara with ham jelly.
If there’s one cuisine that defines the exquisite palate of Barcelona, it’s seafood. There is perhaps no better place to find scrumptious seafood than Batea, from its Galician oysters to its exquisite seafood platters.
A large open kitchen that excels in hospitality, Cocina Hermanos Torres is ideal for diners looking to get their hands dirty. What’s particularly interesting about this restaurant is that it offers guests the opportunity to help chefs in the kitchen, indicating what they would like to see on their plates.

]]>Offering some seriously beautiful decor to go alongside its menu of classic Roman dishes, this restaurant sure knows how to feed you well. The pasta is all made in-house, so it tastes extra fresh and delicious. Go for a sharing bowl which will provide you with a selection of traditionally cured meats, olives, cheese, and other goodies, or choose a wood-fired pizza or one of those bowls of fresh pasta.
Offering some fresh new takes on traditional dishes, this bright and airy restaurant is located in the Ostiense district. With plenty on offer for vegetarians, lunch here is an unfussy, simple affair, whilst dinner offers a range of options, each of them as delicious as the last.
This trattoria offers a stunning range of dishes, as well as authentic, thin-based pizzas. Starters include fried eggplant and shredded beef balls, whilst mains include a traditional dish of suckling pig cooked in a rich tomato sauce. If you’ve room for afters, try the lemon sorbet or an affogato.

]]>Unless you’re trying to get between two points in the city that are simply miles apart, walk around so that you get the feel of the streets. Walking also enables you to stop and take it all in, and if you see a shop, cafe or gallery that looks interesting, you can just pop in!
Most major cities offer tours run by local people, who can design their tours to take in some of the major sites as well as some of the best-kept secrets of the city. Tag along on one of these tours, and you’ll learn loads about how the people who live in the city take pride in the place they live and enjoy its facilities.
More often than not, the cafes and restaurants situated right beside the tourist traps will be overpriced. Often, the food they serve is not particularly authentic, either. As you walk around, try and spot some promising independent places where you could get dinner or a cup of coffee. Eating at restaurants tucked away down side streets often means you get a better meal and overall experience.

]]>Tasco is a great place to start with restaurants in Porto because it is super authentic. The traditional Portuguese food is served in a cozy tavern that makes you feel like you’ve been invited into someone’s home.
If you want a more luxurious scene for tasting authentic Portuguese food, Tia Tia is the restaurant for you. It not only has delicious food, but it also incorporates sustainability into the menu by changing the menu throughout the seasons.
This Michelin Star restaurant is one you’ll be thinking about days later. This minimalist restaurant is all about seafood straight from the coast, but don’t forget to get some dessert before you go.
Cantinho do Avillez is José Avillez’s first restaurant outside of Lisbon, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint! It’s known as an urban bistro that is sure to leave you feeling full and super satisfied.
Meat lovers will love Casa Guedes’ sandwiches as they are all about roasted pork legs. Just beware that Casa Guedes doesn’t take reservations, so it’s first come, first-served.

]]>Barbecue is almost a religion in South Carolina. For the whole hog, Scott’s Bar-B-Que in Hemingway and Rodney Scott’s BBQ in Charleston are the places to go. If you are a fan of ribs, be sure to check out Henry’s Smokehouse in Greenville.
Buttery scratch-made biscuits are one of South Carolina’s icons. Lizard Thickets offers an incredible variety, from grilled biscuits served with jelly, to biscuits stuffed with egg and meat, or smothered with gravy.
Deviled eggs can be a lot more diverse than you might think. At Bacon Bros. Public House in Greenville, you can find golden-yolk eggs, mixed with yellow mustard, homemade hot sauce, and a touch of apple cider vinegar.
There are literally dozens of oyster hotspots along the coast, but Hudson’s Seafood House on the Docks on Hilton Head Island is undoubtedly one of the best. The oysters are harvested within sight of the restaurant, and they cultivate their own single selects as well.

]]>This is definitely the only location in the world where a part of McDonald’s is located in a decommissioned plane. You can sit inside the plane and eat, and the cockpit is available for viewing as well.
Ever wanted to eat in a UFO-shaped restaurant? This McDonald’s got you covered! The interior is decorated in a similar theme and there are also McDonald’s mascots wearing spacesuits everywhere.
This McDonald’s is actually located in an old bank and offers a surreal dining experience. You can see the original main doors but can’t enter through them; the entrance for customers is at the side of the building.
In 2002, McDonald’s opened the first drive-thru restaurant for people on snowmobiles in Sweden. Visitors are stunned by the row of snowmobiles that often forms in front of the restaurant, but it’s a usual scene in Piteå.

]]>If you’re in a mood for some delicious Italian food prepared by Chef Manuelo Pintore, head to the recently opened Giglio Trattoria Fiorentina. The restaurant has a great location and offers simple, classical Tuscan dishes like pici pasta, countryside ribollita, fresh salads, and many more.
Chef Phattanant “May” Thongthong became famous for her run on Top Chef Thailand and Iron Chef Thailand. She has a successful restaurant in her hometown Chiang Mai and has recently opened Maze Dining in Bangkok. Her new restaurant is a perfect place and ready for new visitors!
Chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn opened Nusara, a fine dining room just above Mayari Padthai, a wine bar he owns together with his sommelier brother. He named the restaurant after his late grandmother and the whole place is a tribute to her memory. The dishes focus on traditional Thai cuisine. For now, the restaurant is open for only one group of 6-10 people per night.

]]>Here are some questions to research before dining out abroad.
One big obstacle to eating out while on trips abroad is a lack of knowledge about typical meal times. Many Americans have been frustrated when realizing that no restaurants in Spain are open and serving dinner at 6:30 pm, for example. Do your research and know when the locals eat!
Let’s be honest, here. No one travels to Medellin to eat hamburgers or to Tokyo to eat pizza. One important thing that will help you decide what types of restaurants to seek out and what dishes to order is simply by finding out a little bit about local cuisines and specialties.
In some countries, diners aren’t expected to leave a gratuity for servers and waitstaff, while in others, up to a 20 or 25% tip is considered normal if you receive good service. Knowing the expectations for tipping wherever you travel is important if you want to avoid an awkward situation.
