-==== Restaurant Reviews ====+===== Anthony Bourdain's Tips for Finding the Best Local Food ===== 
 + 
 +=== Follow the Locals === 
 +Anthony Bourdain, renowned for his global food adventures in "Parts Unknown," offered valuable advice on choosing where to eat while traveling((https://www.explore.com/1355653/anthony-bourdain-advice-spotting-best-local-places-eat/)). His main tip: **follow the locals**. Whether it's street food or a restaurant, Bourdain advised choosing spots where locals are willing to wait in line, even if it means overlooking a little dirt. He emphasized that **locals know best** when it comes to good food. 
 + 
 +=== Avoid the Tourist Traps === 
 +Bourdain also warned against tourist traps. He suggested avoiding restaurants filled with tourists or menus with English translations and pictures, as these are typically aimed at tourists rather than locals. Instead, he recommended using online forums to gauge local opinions by provoking responses with bold claims, allowing you to discover better dining options.

-====Fish Monger Seafood==== 
-  - **Juste** in the 9th Arrondissement is my favorite seafood restaurant in Paris. Totally casual and very reasonable prices. Order at the bar (the selection is few but excellent), sit and be served on picnic benches. Swipe the oyster shells into the hole in the middle of your table, bucket underneath. Wash down those beauties with a cheap carafe of very good white wine. Seafood salads are excellent. Wipes are provided but I take extras wipes and feel comfortable in jeans and old tennis shoes. A rubber pancho is perfect attire. A slurping, splashing, indulgent satisfaction
