A restaurant-bar. Great food, sometimes live music.
cnr Av Charles Darwin and Av Bolivar Naveda, Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz
It is accommodation, a cafe, a performance space. A fantastic couple run this lovely place. The accommodation is self-catering and is fully equipped. They also run a cafe-bar and sometimes have live performances on.

A cafe in the cutest square in Cuenca serving good coffee and snacks.
Plaza de San Sebastion, Cuenca.
A fantastic cafe-bar that has live music on most nights, serves excellent tapas, has comfy sofas and a couple of fires for those cold evenings. Open 5pm until late.
Gran Columbia, Cuenca
A rooftop bar with a spectacular view of the Empire State Building. Drinks are expensive, but worth it for the view!

A nice Left Bank bistro, Le Nemrod is in the Rue du Cherche Midi, just around the corner from the Bon Marche.
Good value for lunch or just a coffee or a pichet of wine - good for Beaujolais. A great place for classic Auvergnate cuisine.

A great soho bar in Hong Kong that is just enough off of the beaten path of the escalator and hollywood road, but not too far away that you can't get to Lan Kwai Fong in five minutes.
The staff friendly, the nights funky, the drinks cheap, and the atmosphere a little different than most of the surrounding bars/restaurants.
13 Old Bailey Street, Soho, Hong Kong.

Great late night bar/club, a local recommended this to us. Everyone spills out onto the steps outside. Lively fun crowd.
alley on right behind Nautica, leading off main harbour. You pass a small casino on your right just before the alley.
Café Oz for a brilliant and trendy anglophone bar. Great cocktails, fantastic music, and always packed!

The Serena's burgers are to die for - and you get to eat them sitting by their pool in their beautiful grounds. If anyone can work out the secret ingredient please, please post it on Been there.

An excellent restaurant slightly out of the normal tourist areas. A converted warehouse with some al fresco dining. Food was excellent and very Belgian. Service was prompt but not intrusive. Lots of locals. Atmosphere was great.

About an hour south of Mombasa is Diani beach, with the usual white sand, clear water and palm trees.
Forty Thieves bar/restaurant is a popular haunt that opens right on to the beach and at night is an amazing place to sit and watch the ocean.
Food is good, particularly the crab. There is music later in the evenings and a pool table but there are quiet corners and comfy sofas to sit back on and enjoy where you are. Locals and tourists alike go there which tells you something.
This cafe in Mohandeseen area has very good Egyptian food. The atmosphere is warm and decor upbeat and attractive.
You MUST meet the owner, Mahmoud. He is very colourful and has a great sense of humour. He makes you feel like a long lost brother. Enjoy!
#40 Kahn Younes Demesk St. which is off Shebab St. 1 block from Radio Shack
Decorated with an extravaganza of white subway tiles, this Lower East Side haunt snuggled up against the Rivington Hotel is a funky hybrid - think old skool diner meets Islington gastropub.
A great place for brunch, lunch or dinner, traditional dishes like stewed lamb meatballs and Schiller's steak frites hit the right notes.

The archetype of a brown cafe, with a good selection of beers and cosily 'gezellig', despite its proximity to Leidseplein, it's a retreat from the lager louts.

Livingston is a little town, a little like Jamaica. A very peaceful place, there is a big inter-cultural mix, you find the Garifunas, Quetchi, Ladinos and Coolis.
The people are very friendly and the place is relaxing. The nights are warm and there are partys on every street, in the day you can visit the most beautiful river in Central America "Rio Dulce" you can't miss the tour with Exotic Travel Agency who I travelled with and recomend to everyone.
If you fancy being roundly ignored by monosyllabic staff in the most fabulously atmospheric Brussels bar, head for La Morte Subite, a dark little gem of a bar round the corner from the Jacques Brel centre. Fantastique!
Just off the Grand Place there's a small bar in an alleyway that is decorated in the style of a dark and forbidding crypt, Le Cercueil.
Inside, the subdued lighting and tables made from coffins give every impression that you're sharing your drink with Dracula and in the midst of Transylvania! All the drinks have dark and horrifying names and there is a cathedral-type hush in the place. Very atmospheric and a great place to take your girlfriend for the first time!
Down the alley way, near the lesser-known Jeanneken Pis statue, why not grab a beer at Delirium, the bar that holds the world record for selling the most beers (over 2000 varieties!).
Or, if beer's not your thing, visit The Green Fairy opposite, which sells over 2000 kinds of spirits and liquors!
Sitting on the terrace at the Buschenkeller and having a few leisurely beers gives you ample opportunity to ponder in wonderment at the constant flow of tourists gaping at Manneken Pis. Nowhere else in the world does such a crap monument captivate so many.
Is this your business?
