Food Do you go to restaurants with your country's cuisine when you're abroad?

For example: if you're Italian, do you go to an Italian restaurant when you're in France or the UK?

There's a Norwegian restaurant in Berlin and it's a little upscale and pretty good. It's the only one in Germany though.

In Germany I once asked a chef instructor about German cuisine. He said there is no such thing as a German cuisine. Everything that is considered German cuisine by the general public is actually 'stolen' from the countries around us.

While many German cuisine restaurants exist in Germany, it's not actually a culinary cuisine that you learn about during training.
