I stopped using TripAdvisor because I found that it has a very strong tourist bias. It seems most of the people who post reviews are tourists, and this ends up being beneficial to places that aren't necessarily the best in their categories, but offer the most tourist-friendly experiences. When I'm looking for a restaurant abroad I'm not looking for the places that have English-speaking service, translated menus, and memorable decoration. I'm looking for the places that have the most genuine and best tasting food, places that locals would like to visit. It's hard to find those places on TripAdvisor.
