These are some of the restaurants, bistro's and eateries I would suggest. Being a total foodie myself, this is part of the adventure when traveling.
My recommended sights to visit, if you're looking for things to see and do.

There's also a Vegan branch of this wonderful restaurant, situated in the same building. The Vegan dishes are simply delicious.
