Question
We are planning a trip to Osaka and we’ve heard a lot about the amazing local food scene there. I want to know how to say “Can you recommend a good restaurant nearby?” in Japanese so I can ask locals for their suggestions.

Chikaku ni oishii resutoran o osusume shite kuremasenka?
Can you recommend a good restaurant nearby?

This phrase is handy when you’re exploring a new place and want to find the best local cuisine. “Chikaku ni” means “nearby”; “oishii” translates to “delicious” or “good”; “resutoran” means “restaurant”; and “osusume shite kuremasenka” means “can you recommend?”. You can swap “resutoran” with other places or things you are seeking recommendations for. Enjoy your culinary adventure in Osaka!
