Eating like the locals- A new standard to define truly traditional restaurants just published
One of the highlights of travelling is trying out the local cuisine, but weeding out authentic, traditional restaurants from tourist traps is, in some regions, no simple task. A new standard has just been published to help.
ISO 21621, Tourism and related services – Traditional restaurants – Visual aspects, decoration and services, outlines requirements and recommendations for providing a credible culinary experience. The standard covers everything from how the restaurant should look, table settings, staff, menu requirements and more, to demonstrate that the restaurant is genuinely in line with the region and culture it professes to be.
