Favorite Restaurant
Sarah / England
My favorite restaurant would have to be a chicken restaurant called "Nando's." The menu is predominantly chicken and it's Portuguese style, so it's spicy. You can choose a spice and you can have it in the form of chicken on the bone, or you can have chicken burgers or chicken pitas. It's so very, very tasty and you can choose what different sides you have. It's so very, very nice.
Paul / England
My favorite restaurant is an Italian restaurant called "Napoli." It has some fantastic, delicious pizzas, mostly using thin base, again, which is common in Italian cooking. The quality of the ingredients is really good and very, very fresh, and the cooking isn't a long process. And so, you'd really get a feel for the Mediterranean when you eat there.
Warren / Canada
I'd say my favorite restaurant is something that has a lot of variety. I think it's quite common, maybe in a pub especially, to have food, not only from Canada but from around the world, so you might be able to get some Thai food or Japanese food, but it usually got a little bit of a Canadian twist to it.
Rese / Botswana
My favorite restaurant would have to be Nando's, actually. They have good choices for different sizes of chicken, from half to quarter to full-sized chickens, and they've got different flavors, which they spread on those chickens, that you can get. The French fries that come with the chicken are also quite tasty.
Dani / England
I don't really have a most favorite restaurant, I guess. Right now, though, if I have to say what my favorite restaurant would be, it would probably be the Italian Tomato Cafe. They serve a lot of different pastas there. They actually have a really nice one on the menu at the moment with pumpkin and cream dressing, and it's just delicious.
Katia / Mexico
Yes, there's a very good restaurant. It's a tacos restaurant. They have very good tacos, with different kinds of sauces. Only one kind of meat, but the variety of sauces makes it really good.
Matt / United States
I think my favorite restaurant right now is Ramen Noodle Shop near where I live. It's my favorite because it's very cheap; it's less than five dollars for one bowl of noodles, but you can actually get as many bowls as you want for that same one price. So, it's very cheap and it tastes all right, too, so that's where I go most often.
