You know what it’s like, you live in the area and visitors ask you to recommend restaurants.
Tapping in to the wisdom of the crowd is a natural human instinct, according to one expert. “We’re hard-wired to get as much information from other people as possible,” says Graham Jones, a psychologist. “We use the views of other people to help validate our choices, and to meet our need for social acceptance.”
Trouble is you can come unstuck. We had a great couple of meals at a local tapas restaurant and recommended it highly to all and sundry. We had not been for a couple of months so we took the Lady of the Villa’s mother and sister to the restaurant recently. It was abysmal. It had turned into a bar with food rather than a restaurant. Still doing tapas but of poor quality and the service was abysmal.
From now on if we recommend anywhere we will have to go on a more regular basis.
