- Crowd & Timing: If you arrive by train or bus, pick restaurants near station (like New Eagle) for ease. For dinner on weekends, arrive a bit early to avoid wait.

- Ask Locals: Locals can suggest good street‑food shops or small eateries — sometimes better than guide‑listed ones for authentic taste.
