Hi AWG! We'll be in Florence for just a 2 short days, and we want to make sure we eat well. We're set try Sostanza and Trattoria da Mario. Would you say that these are good "must-try" restaurants? I'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

Hi DaisyM!

We're bound for Florence in 2 weeks for a short 2 days. Your picks are similar to mine, but I can only choose two. Could you share your experience and perhaps give your two cents on the "not-to-be-missed" restaurant? Which would you suggest for good bistecca? It's been ages since I was last in Florence and don't really know when I'll leave the chance to go back. I'd like to eat well!
Thanks!

Thanks so much for your thoughts. I may have to bite the bullet - so as not to miss the chance to dine in these restaurants. Please, if there are any other restaurant you could recommend worth trying with kids in mind, let me know.

My husband and I will be traveling to Paris in March along with our 2 children (ages 6 and 10). I've booked several restaurants (Spring and Septime) and plan to make reservations in others (Frenchie, Le Chateaubriand, Chez L'ami Jean). I understand restaurants are quite small. I'm just curious how the French would view "sharing" a prix fixe menu. My children are light eaters, and I don't think they would be able to finish a whole meal. I would appreciate your thoughts. I'm going to Paris for it's food, and with kids, it may be difficult to dine in some places.

Thanks...then Caprice it is! I've read much good review so it's a definite must-eat. I'll be in HK this weekend. I should call to reserve...

On a side note, we'll be dining in lung king heen, but can you recommend a good, reasonable priced dim-sum restaurant where the locals frequent? ambience is 2nd to good food. is tim ho wan worth it?

your thoughts on the chairman?

Which would you recommend if you can only go to one?
