House Of Food / Fontaine Palace in Liepāja
| 4 viewsHouse Of Food is a place to eat good, quick international food from all corners of the world. Louie Fontaine, the owner and rock musician, has designed the place with a feel similar to a 50’s American diner, with an open kitchen and restaurant booths so high you’ll sit cosy and private in your own restaurant. Located at the canal front downtown in an old factory building - this place absolutely rocks! Hotel Fontaine Royal in Liepāja Fontaine Royal offers a swimming pool, health centre,…

'I Fossi' Restaurant in San Gimignano, Italy

I told her, could…
Roadside cafe near Surami Mountain Pass
| 5 viewsI'm not quite sure what name this pace actually wears - I started to call it Perevelnaya (From Russian: Перевальная) which in English might sound like Next to the Mountain Pass.

This cafe is a regular stop for me, whn traveling from Tbilisi to Kutaisi by car, in most cases I'm heading to Kutaisi airport to pick up some friends or relatives who have…
