Rob and I have been very blessed to have free meals during the week from two restaurants; Hotell Hoagland and Matlyckan. We have a plan of action at both places so we know what we are ordering. But I am proof that it doesn't always work when you decide to ignore the unknown!
At Matlyckan it is extremely simple. A waitress will ask us... meat and potatoes or chinese food. We give our pick and we are surprised by the specifics, but at least we know we aren't getting fish. It is almost always delicious, and I have to say the service is so friendly. All the waitresses know to bring Rob a Pepsi and me a Sprite right when we walk in!
At the hotel we will usually take a chance at the beginning of the week and Rob tends to be able to determine if a meal is good or not based on the familiarity of the lunch descriptions. Following that meal I will take a picture of the menu and take that home to be Google translated. Google translate is amazing and I highly recommend that if you are in a foreign country that you bookmark the page!

Rob and I laugh about it because it is only our own fault when we don't know what we order. The people are more than happy to explain and I recommend you don't guess, you ask! When traveling, you want to enjoy the food and not waste a perfectly good meal.
