That's what I was doing in Italy, following recommendations from locals, researching online, avoiding tourist locations. Still didn't work which made us cynical and paranoid in the end.
I agree with Japan you can just wander around and explore. I would also add China and Thailand, which are different enough to be at least surprising or interesting.

Tl:dr avoid shit restaurants. Do your research on where to eat regardless of where you are going
One exception: Japan where you can eat almost anywhere and it will be at least acceptable - unless it’s not selling Japanese cuisine in which case avoid.
