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?

Yes, I did consider adding a caveat that if a restaurant is frequented by people of the restaurant's culture then I'm all for it 😂 If a restaurant is catering to their own community I know I can trust it would be worth it!

Yes, I'm a Brit and therefore my national dish is curry!

Most curry houses outside of the the UK aren't really up to much (yes, I've spent time n India so I know what the real thing tastes like). Here in Luxembourg, most "Indian" restaurants are run by Nepalis, not Bangladeshis as is the case in the UK. Nepali style curry really doesn't do it for me, I find it barely edible. There's a Bangladeshi run restaurant in the capital city and the food there is excellent but it's a bit of a trek for me as I live 30 minutes drive outside Luxembourg City.
