Hole-in-the-wall places are great if you’re seeking quiet and intimate spaces. Most establishments of this variety are usually underground and not considered big touristy places. It also means that seating is usually limited, so don’t expect to make reservations beforehand. It’s always good to come with a sense of curiosity and openness – while asking the chef what the most requested dishes are.
