A very small shop but apparently is world famous amongst chocolatiers. Well worth a visit. Black and white pictures of previous generations line the walls.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19278 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19273
The very French chef has over 25 years cooking experience behind him, and his delightful and charming wife serves in the restaurant. A pleasurable experience all round, definitely one for the guidebooks.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19273 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19270 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19270 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19268
It's situated in the heart of the Leicester lanes (just off the High Street) and serves a fine range of freshly prepared sandwiches, baguettes, melts, wraps, salads and jacket potatoes. Plenty of veggie options are available too.

The place is always busy (a good sign for any cafe/restaurant), is great value for money and is situated in one of the nicer shopping streets in the city.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19268 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19263
Eat at the Panamonte Inn in the fireplace room: nice ambience, the people watching is decent, and they serve great food for the money.

Drive to Cerro Punto and walk the trails in La Amistad National Park.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19263 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19253
Situated upstairs at The Barley Mow pub, the welcome is always warm, the service efficient and the food unpretentious and freshly prepared.

A full English with toast and tea comes in at around £4.25 and never fails to satisfy.

Highly recommended.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19253 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19240 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19240 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19233

‘Frites’ stalls around the city centre do them cheap, along with meatballs and sausages for a good snack.

Across the road, waffle stands and bakeries sell dessert dripping with chocolate and cream. What more to say except 'yum'.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19234 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19231 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19231 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19224 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19224 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19218
The food is fabulous - every evening we ate out on the terrace and kids played in the garden and bounced on the trampoline. And when it cooled slightly in the evenings they went inside to the playroom to play or watch DVDs.

Highly recommended.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19218 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19211 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19211 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19205 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19205
