I don’t think I’d ever come here for the food. But today, I was to have lunch with a friend and it was cold and drizzly outside. We wanted to be indoors, all warm and comfy. For that, the Elephant Bar fits the bill. But overall, I’m not sure there is any other chain that [...]
The Natural Cafe offers a diverse range of food, with a little healthy-crunchy twist. It’s a fresh and light place that the mainstream can handle, and even really enjoy.
