Avoid restaurants with photo menus and multiple languages.

If there are multiple languages printed on the menu, and photos with every dish, that's usually a good sign that the place caters to tourists. Plus, if the menu is the size of a small textbook — with a dizzying array of dishes to choose from — ask yourself: How many of these dishes can they actually cook well? Of course, there are exceptions to these rules, but they're just that — exceptions.
