Dinner at a French restaurant

  Salad, bread, beef stew with potatoes and carrots, fruit salad

  Sadly, we couldn’t eat the salad or fruit salad, gave them away to table-mates who weren’t careful about what they ate. The Beef Stew and bread, however, were scrumptious.

For dinner, our guide recommended My-My Cafeteria & Pub on Arbut Street. Good hearty food at reasonable prices. This is the place where Ron spilled his beer down the stairs. It was so funny, we forgot to write down what we had to eat.
