[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For special meals I’d make a reservation. Then I think having a plan is good, which might mean using online reservations like the fork, or stopping by at lunch or the day before to make a reservation, or just planning to eat at the first place that looks decent that has room. [b]Google reviews aren’t perfect but they can help you find a decent place within a 10 min walk[/b]. [/quote]

Yes we have used it for this purpose and it's been super helpful.  Especially with somewhat picky kids, seeking out a specific place can be both frustrating and costly if it turns out you order stuff they won't eat.  Most of the time we are making a meal decision somewhat on the go.  While the base standard in places like Paris/Rome are higher than the US, there are certainly clunkers, and we have eaten in some of them where we did zero research.  Plenty of places clearly serving frozen food, etc. A friend introduced me to the "4.5 rule" a few years ago, and it has proven to be excellent- if something is 4.5 or higher on Google Maps, it's almost sure to be at least solid.

Sites like Paris by Mouth and Le Fooding are also good.[/quote]
