When you see a place marked “tested & approved,” it means I’ve visited and genuinely enjoyed it. These aren’t just listings; they’re my personal favorites, handpicked because they offer something special—whether it’s the flavors, atmosphere, or unique local experience.
If you come across a listing without this mention, no worries! It doesn’t mean I didn’t like it—most often, it’s a spot I haven’t yet had the chance to try myself, but it’s been warmly recommended by locals, friends, or others who know the area well. Each place has something special to offer, making it a worthy stop on your journey!
