About Not a Tourist Trap
Our mission to help you find authentic local restaurants
We believe that the best way to experience a city is through its food. But finding authentic local restaurants can be challenging when you're surrounded by tourist traps.
That's why we created Not a Tourist Trap - to help travelers discover the restaurants where locals actually eat, not just the ones with the flashiest signs or most aggressive street promoters.
How We Find Authentic Restaurants
Our team uses advanced AI analysis of reviews and local data to identify restaurants that consistently serve authentic, quality food to both locals and travelers. We look for places that:
- Are frequented by locals, not just tourists
- Serve traditional, authentic cuisine
- Maintain consistent quality and service
- Offer fair pricing for the location
