 “The Royal Opera is situated somewhere in the streets of Paris. But it is not really an opera house but a diner with several tables in and out the place. It’s a good place to wine and dine after watching a real good performance at a real opera house downtown. The place is empty right now and the diner is closed. It is late at night and everybody should be inside the hotel rooms sleeping. Nonetheless, it is still a lovely sight right in the stillness of the night.” |

“Is fine dining your weakness? Then this shot should be enough to make your mouth water. The freshly prepared food on the table looks especially sumptuous with the tall bottle of table wine. With your meal served as elegantly as this, you would definitely want to have a few more servings. The white cover and the white napkins give the table a complete look. Don’t you ever wish your breakfast were always as good as this?” |

“This place has definitely caught the soccer fever. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have covered their walls with this poster of two great soccer players in their uniform, obviously gearing up for a game. The poster seems to be bigger than life, but the details are very impressive. As you walk by the street, your eye will definitely catch a glimpse of this place they called Le Plaza del Toro. Le Plaza del Toro is a restaurant situated in one of the busy streets of Paris.” |
