Le cercle des voyageurs

Not far from the Grand Place, near the Manneken Pis statue. Combined bar and book shop. Post-colonial style. Try the 'thé à la menthe fraîche'.

Le Pain Quotidien

http://www.painquotidien.com/
It's a chain of restaurants, but all of them are very nice and cosy. Perfect for a snack or a coffee but most of all try their breakfast! For example on Place de Grand Sablon. On weekends you can visit the antique flea market afterwards.

Raconte-moi des salades

Raconte-moi des salades
The restaurant to go to with your girlfriend (but make sure to book a table). Great choice of salads you have never seen before.

L'amour fou

Modern restaurant, modern cuisine combined with traditional dishes. Young audience.

Carpe Diem

Getreidegasse 50, A-5020 Salzburg, t +43(0662 848800

Stylish restaurant at the end of Getreidegasse. Remarkable finger food, served in cones. Worth a try, but rather for snacks than a full grown dinner.

Pasteis de Belem

www.pasteisdebelem.pt
Rua de Belem 84-92, 1300-085 Lisboa

Traditional Portuguese 'pastelaria' since 1873. The original.

Delicious 'pastéis de nata' in a nice cafe among blue 'azulejos'. These small cakes are served still warm and you eat them with some cinnamon on top. Delicious! A 'bica' (espresso) or 'galao' (cafe latte) goes well along the pasteis.

Make sure to take away a box of six 'pasteis' for those left behind at home.

Hotel Hammer

If you would like to have even the taxi driver laughing at you when you mention the name of your hotel, stay at Hotel Hammer. But seriously: it's basic, but centrally located (just opposite the main train station), clean, with friendly staff and basic breakfast and very affordable. And there's apples for free at the reception at all times.

Dinnercafe Wenders

www.restaurantwenders.nl
Directly at the Prinsengracht, in summer you can also sit outside. A friendly gay couple is preparing a very good combination of Dutch and Indonesian food.
Try the 'garnelenkroketjes' as a starter.
