How I Evaluate an Eatery

As avid travelers, we understand that discovering a city or town goes beyond its landmarks; it’s also about immersing in the local cuisine, an adventure for your palate. We do this with a simple, yet thorough evaluation system – perfected by an unpretentious food enthusiast, whose culinary journey started out in a small town and eventually led him to the vibrant flavors of Spain.

Location: In any city or town, you explore, ensuring the convenience of your dining spot is vital. Particularly, seniors and those with mobility concerns wouldn’t want to trudge up steep hills or stairs, nor should anyone be led to less attractive parts of town.

Atmosphere: The ambiance of a restaurant is the prologue to the culinary story that awaits. Your comfort is our concern. We weigh up the spacing of tables, lighting, noise levels – conducive to an intimate dining experience where you can truly unwind after a day of exploration.

Selection: Diversity in a menu opens up possibilities for everyone, regardless of taste or dietary need. We look for eateries that offer varying degrees of spice intensity, clear dish descriptions, and an optimized menu size. An oversized menu can often be a warning sign!

Portion Size: Again, it’s all about balance. Who would appreciate a gargantuan salad followed by a bite-sized main dish, right? The volume should be just right for you to savor each bite and leave feeling satisfied but not uncomfortably full.

Staff & Service: Lastly, the backbone of a memorable restaurant experience – the staff. Friendliness and knowledge of the menu are paramount. We also consider the rhythm of their service, ensuring you’re not left waiting too long between courses.

Dining out is more than just satiating hunger, it’s an affair with the city’s culinary heritage. We aim to make the selection process as seamless as possible for you, so you can focus on the joy of the journey itself.
