MY STORY
As an expat in Germany, for the past one and a half year, I have been consistently travelling with my husband to new places in and outside Germany. Restaurants offering traditional German meals as well as the other eateries from Eastern part of Asia, America, Middle East as well as Australia! Yes, Nuremberg has all of them despite being the biggest small town of Germany. I could go on and on about the German sausages (wursts) and beer, the very popular Sauerkraut and Pretzels (them salty snacks), Guacamoles and Hot Tacos from Mexico**,** Falafals from Turkey, Glass Noodles from China, Red Curry from Thailand and Butter Chicken from India!! I know where you can find the best of these in Nuremberg. Why should you believe me? It’s because I have friends native to these countries who can vouch its authenticity.
Over a year ago when I started as a local guide, I had no idea I would persistently go around every single restaurant and business giving reviews and clicking photos all the way to level 7. Thank you very much for giving a layman like me the opportunity to provide my opinion on such a big platform.
HOW AND WHY I BECAME A LOCAL GUIDE!!
Long story short! Whenever I experienced something out of the world whether it was finding home-made candies near that less popular beach or the hilly resort located right in the middle of the forest, I wanted to share it with other travelers across the globe. I wanted others to experience the best out of these places too. Being a local guide of Google Maps gave me this opportunity to share with every one out there in the world and I was very happy! One fine day, I saw a notification from Google Maps which said that I could share and rate my experience at a restaurant. That’s how I started out as a local guide before I even knew the concept behind it. Gradually I discovered that it was a much bigger platform than I had thought it to be. And that’s how and why I became a local guide! And I am proud to be one!!
MY SPECIALITY
Lesser known fantastic eateries, restaurants offering authentic food and places known only to the locals
I happen to have a sweet spot for small eateries that offer delicious, near-to-authentic food. Whenever I find one, I used to tell it to all my friends. Now I tell it on Google Maps!!
Bao Han in Nuremberg is a fantastic Asian eatery that I happened to discover with my Chinese friend. They offer dishes from China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam.
Tucherhof Biergarten located away from the city centre of Nuremberg has one of the most delicious and authentic German meals. Make sure to dive into the German experience of “kalt Abendessen”.
Restaurants offering authentic food deserve every ounce of popularity for the collective efforts by the members. To maintain the quality and finesse of the food and comfort of the guests, it takes a certain level of dedication, sincerity and passion. I try to make such restaurants as popular as possible just so to show how much I appreciate all of it.
Globo Restaurant in Nuremberg offers some of the most authentic German food and would leave you licking the food off your cutlery. Try their personalized cocktails. One of the best I have ever had!! Reservations highly recommended.
Hungarikum Bisztro in Budapest has one of the most authentic Hungarian food especially
Mandragora was yet another restaurant, a cozy place, offering delicious Hungarian food. Reservations highly recommended.
Australian Kitchen and Bar in Nuremberg serves some of the best Ostrich burgers and cocktails.
Orale serves some of the best spiciest tacos in Nuremberg. Reservations highly recommended.
Sangam in Nuremberg serves the best lamb and chicken curries along with a diverse range of kulchas.
Celona Bar and Café is one of my most favourite restaurant in Nuremberg because they have a variety of items on their menu which ranges from American, German to Mediterranean cuisine. The best part is the cocktails served by them.
You can find my detailed reviews on what to eat at these places!!
When it comes to rivers along castles in a very small town of Central Europe, a lake deep inside the countryside of North Germany, a pond with ducks in the far end side of a museum in Southern Germany; I love to share it with everyone out there just so they could go out there and experience the sheer adventurous bliss!!
Volkspark Dutzenteich of Nuremberg or the Cseke-to of Tatabanya in Hungary, I have dived into the local experience like never before.
Last but not the least, with becoming a google local guide, also comes the responsibility of being honest and sincere with whatever you write, rate, upload and post. It’s but natural to come across unpleasant experiences but I try to remain objective in reviewing such places. It’s because I understand that sometimes a restaurant can accidentally serve you with a bad dish or a particular service could go bad in a popular chain of hotel. I generally highlight the saving grace during such times.
In the upcoming years my goal is to contribute and participate in all the new ventures of google maps for making travel smoother and better for every traveller.
Thank you once again Google Map for bringing people (local guides) closer to each other as it’s wonderful to get to know people who share the same passion as you.
After watching my video and reading this post, if you find me suitable for this year’s biggest and most awaited event, please select me. I would be very happy and grateful to you.
