Can't Get a Table at the #1 Restaurant? Find Top-Rated Alternatives with the TripAdvisor App Right Now!

NEEDHAM, Mass., July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- TripAdvisor®, the world's largest travel platform, today revealed the most popular restaurants and great hidden-gem alternatives in top summer travel destinations.

To offer more flexibility to travelers, TripAdvisor asked its Destination Experts -- prolific forum contributors -- to recommend great local alternatives to the top-rated restaurants in popular summer travel destinations. These hidden-gem restaurants are more easily "reserve-able" via the TripAdvisor app, and still offer an exceptional dining experience.

TripAdvisor recently launched a new "Nearby" feed in its mobile app to help travelers better discover local places to eat and things to do while on a trip. Travelers can now quickly find great recommendations for nearby restaurants and experiences, and view them on an interactive map to uncover hidden gems. The recommendations are dynamic, so for example, if it's noon, you will automatically be shown ideas for where to eat lunch.

"Every city has those popular restaurants where it's almost impossible to get a reservation, even when planning in advance. The great news is that there are other fabulous restaurants to discover when you are ready to eat," said Desiree Fish, vice president of global communications for TripAdvisor. "The latest TripAdvisor app is the best in-destination travel tool because it helps you find great dining alternatives wherever you are traveling this summer. By leveraging the power of our community-driven platform, travelers can easily access restaurant recommendations from locals, experts and other travelers, as well as reserve tables on the go."
