What you will get

A list of local dishes to try, what each one is, when people eat it, the rough cost, which suit your diet, tips on customs and street-food safety, and types of places to search for yourself.

Common mistake

The AI names restaurants that are closed or wrong.

Fix: Use the place types it gives, then check names, hours and recent reviews on a map app.

Also watch for

Prices are out of date. Treat the costs as rough ranges and compare with a few recent reviews.
Allergies are not handled. State the allergy in the diet bracket, learn the local words for it and ask staff directly. Do not rely on the AI alone.

Try a variation: make a breakfast-only list

Ask for the morning dishes locals eat, with the usual times and where to find them, for the first day of the trip.
