Ipsos conducted a study about what customers expect from restaurants in 2024. The top factors for an enjoyable dining experience were quality time with family and friends (52%), great value for money (45%), and eating healthier (20%). These don’t seem like very tall orders, do they? Well, they do for these restaurants. When one person online asked, “What made you never want to return to a restaurant again?”, over a thousand people shared their horrible experiences. Who knew dining out could be so adventurous and, at times, even dangerous? Bored Panda reached out to popular restaurant reviewer and food blogger The Picky Glutton. They told us more about their foodie adventures in the London scene, how to spot bad restaurants, and their most memorable good and bad restaurant experiences. Read their yummy insights below!

“Restaurants that are especially good at latching onto faddish trends or paying social media influencers for positive coverage, to give just two examples, may be good at generating queues. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re actually any good,” the Glutton gives us the inside scoop.

“For example, if you’re meeting a friend you haven’t seen in ages and want to catch up over a relaxed and unhurried meal, a quick turnover ramen bar would probably be the wrong choice. If you’re having a meal with your temperamental, old-fashioned parents, an experimental fine-dining restaurant might not be the right choice,” they add.

When you’re vacationing, the Glutton recommends venturing out of the touristy/hospitality areas. “[They] don’t have a monopoly on good eating! This is especially true for cuisines from marginalized communities, whose members may not have the financing and negotiating power to get prime real estate,” the restaurant reviewer points out.

“Some menus use page layout tricks, such as highlighted boxes, pictures, higher placement, and nostalgic/familial language, etc., in an attempt to sell their most profitable or easy-to-make dishes.”
