Instagram can be a great source of travel inspiration, and it will introduce you to many picture-perfect cafés and restaurants. Unfortunately, you’ll have to spend a sizeable chunk of money to visit some of them, but there are ways to make your visit more budget-friendly.
Don’t Go Overboard
You don’t have to visit every Instagram-friendly spot that you stumble upon on Instagram. Narrow down your choice to one or two that you like the most instead of going overboard.
No Full Courses
If you’re not a huge foodie and only want to visit a certain spot for the atmosphere, stick to the cheapest items on the menu, including drinks, appetizers, and desserts.
Right Timing
Your photos will be much better if you visit busy restaurants during off-peak hours, and they might even offer happy hour prices during this time.
Spending Cap
It’s important to know how much money you’re willing to spend on your meals while traveling and stick to that number so you wouldn’t go over the budget.
Online Menu
Most restaurant these days offer their menus online, so do some research before your visit. Go through the menu to decide if there’s anything you’d like to try that also fits into your budget.
