I enjoy going to restaurants, so I've decided to create a list of some of my favourite
places I've visited on my travels, which I can recommend to other travellers,
who also enjoy going out for a good meal on their holidays. Over time I will be developing the list
and if you have any recommendations, do let me know as I'm always interested to
discover new places.
Restaurants which I appreciate offer
- good tasty food
- a wide selection of choices including vegetarian and fish options
- and staff who have professional standards and who have high customer
service skills
