Paris just wouldn't be Paris without the Eiffel Tower. Designed by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 World Fair, at 300 meters (984 feet) it was then the world's tallest building.

Whether you've been out clubbing or sightseeing, this huge pizzeria situated on the world's most beautiful avenue - the Champs Elysees - is well worth a visit. Enjoy the kitschy decor and high quality Italian cuisine (at reasonable prices for the district) served right through the day until the early hours of the morning. Available to take away or eat in, dishes cater for all tastes: pasta carbonara, four-cheese pizza or the extra-large Pino special (around EUR14).

Founded in 1903, this majestic tearoom is definitely worth a visit, maybe two in fact. Try the Chocolat African, the piece de resistance of the hot chocolate menu. Angelina is also known for its other specialty the Mont Blanc - a muffin-like concoction made up of sugar, milk, and butter and chestnut paste. They also serve salads, sandwiches, and quiche. Word has it that you get better service around teatime than in the morning, when hordes of tourists descend on the place.

Situated in the Bastille area, this restaurant enjoys a beautiful Belle-Epoque decor with a stained-glass ceiling, ceramics and mirrors. Celebrities, Parisians and tourists come here to taste the varied cuisine, which includes choucroute garnie , roasted lobster or magret de canard . Expect to pay around EUR38 dining à la carte . A set menu meal will cost you EUR30 for dinner, wine included.

Set menus are also available.

This beautiful 19th century tearoom, set beneath a glass roof is the perfect setting for a laidback meal or tea. This place is well-known for its home-made desserts, especially the fruit crumble.

From this classy bar-restaurant, you get a great view of the eye-catching Beaubourg contemporary art centre. Spacious and elaborately furnished, the cafe is split into smaller areas and has a pleasant mezzanine floor. The terrace with its comfortable chairs is a great place for tourists and the cafe's hip regular crowd. The food, starting with a healthy selection of American and traditional French breakfasts, is simple and hearty, though priced 'à la Parisienne'.

Spicy is a testament to a great family dining experience. A non-smoking area, entertainment for children, a terrace, and private car park are some of the services offered. Animals are also allowed. The varied menu will keep everybody satisfied. Be sure to try the Sunday brunch.

Located in the Rive Gauche Quarter of Paris in the 6th arrondissement, this 3-star hotel is nearby the Luxembourg Gardens, Notre Dame, the Louvre Museum, and is approximately 19 miles from the Roissy Charles de Gaulle. On the premises, the Montparnas

Step inside and you will find a warm Lebanese welcome in the Byblos, named for a pretty little Lebanese fishing village. The cuisine is varied and plentiful. If you cannot decide on what to have, take the easy way out and try the mezze , an assortment of traditional dishes: taboule libanais (a couscous dish with parsley), kefta (meatballs flavoured with spices), houmos (chickpea puree). The decor in the two dining rooms is typically Lebanese with trompe l'oeil frescoes in shades of brown, orange and beige and a bar made of dark wood. The varied clientele span all age groups and professions.

If you fancy trying some regional specialties, check out Nice's best Socca (a kind of soft crêpe made from chickpea flour). The socca are never too greasy, which is the main problem with most store-bought varieties. Wine is available by the glass and there is a good home-made Tiramisu that is worth saving room for. Unfortunately the restaurant does not take reservations and as it is often full—it is a good idea to get here early, or be prepared to wait!

Close to the Massena pedestrian precinct, this charming restaurant specializes in seafood dishes. Professionalism, conviviality and fresh produce are the keys to this restaurant's success, as can be witnessed in its ever-increasing clientele. On the menu you'll find Bouillabaisse (traditional fish stew), sea bass, lobster, prawns and crayfish all contributing to an exquisite, succulent menu.

This is where Nice goes all English! Although a bit quieter than most old-town pubs, Big Ben is not staid; it's just a more traditional kind of pub. You can munch fare like mixed salads, steak tartare, club sandwiches, and vegetarian meals while you enjoy your drinks. And from the evening right through to the middle of the night, the mood changes a little and gives way to a warm and cozy atmosphere. It's an absolute pleasure to visit.

Situated in Old Nice, this little restaurant has concentrated on the conviviality of its surroundings and on the simple but delicious dishes on offer. Fish, meat and cheese are used in every way possible, and to suit all tastes. A word of advice: don't wait until September 22nd to pay a visit!

Situated in attractive Place Garibaldi where it's been since the 1950s, this is one of the city's most authentic cafe-bars. Featuring a superb terrace and delightful archways, it serves wonderful seafood all day (even at breakfast), and shellfish are always fresh. Reservations are not accepted, and the cafe is often full by 7p, best to arrive early. Specialties of the house include Scampi Salad with roasted asparagus and parmesan, and a Sea Bream Socca with small vegetables; four-course menus begin at around EUR30.

What about spending the evening in a pancake restaurant for a change? For those who feel like doing something a little different, this restaurant with a really friendly atmosphere (recently made bigger too) has got just what you're looking for.

Average prices: from 10 FF (EUR 1.5) to 45 FF (EUR 6.8).

Welcome to the world of northern European cuisine. Here, you'll find on display wild salmon (not salmon raised in fish farms), astonishingly tender herring, blinis (a type of soft round roll, rather flat, eaten warm), and even caviar.

First built in 694 but destroyed by the Great Fire in 1666, the beautiful building that stands today was designed by Christopher Wren and completed in 1710.

Due to the volume of river traffic at the time, Tower Bridge was designed to have twin bascules that could be raised.

Here's the idea: take a top chef (Charles Fontaine, formerly of Le Caprice ) add a restaurant which looks like a turn-of-the-century greasy-spoon, mix well, bake for four hours on a high heat, and leave to stand, and what results is the Quality Chop House. The missing link between working-class cafes and posh restaurants everywhere, the Quality Chop House has an endearingly dated feel, yet retains a smart, almost elegant presentation. The food is a similarly bizarre mix, with expensive seafood dishes such as oysters, lobster and caviar sharing menu space with more down-to-earth fare, such as Toulouse sausages, mash and onion gravy

The Tate Modern has signalled a market for trendy restaurants on the south side of the Thames, and many are joining the original stalwarts like the Oxo Tower Restaurant and Le Pont de la Tour . Among these is The Loft, which is located in the Mercure Hotel, but has managed to distance itself from the trap of serving only the hotels guests. It offers the ubiquitous Mod British/global fare, but flavours are fresh and realisation commendable. Dishes have been inspired by global flavours, and include hints of French (Confit Terrine of Rabbit), Mediterranean (Seared Tuna with eggplant and Chinese leaves) and Italian (Plantain Ravioli with parmesan, sage and chestnut) cuisine. The wine list is similarly diverse and is reasonably priced.

Tootsies is the ultimate hang out spot for that warm, friendly neighbourhood vibe. They're open all day for brunch, a meal, or just a pick-me-up toffee banana pie with ice cream. All branches of the chain have the same nondescript, upmarket, fast food look, but you probably won't go just to admire the decor. The brunch is delicious, whilst for main meals you can choose from lashings of onion rings, fries, steaks and burgers - be sure to accompany everything with one of the yummy milkshakes. It's a bit pricey, but a good place to bring either family or friends for a fun meal out. Other branches are in Richmond, Hampstead, Wimbledon, South Kensington, Barnes, Chiswick and Chelsea.

Americans might see the name and think of Wolfgang Puck's famous eateries across the world, but don't expect any smoked salmon pizzas here. This local joint looks like a hole in the wall, but is extremely popular with South Kensington residents - the high Italian contingent also testifies to the quality of the simple trattoria food. Everything is good, homemade and, best of all, dirt cheap. Have one of the pizzas or pastas of the day, and although some of the pastas are so homemade that they look a bit messy, they are delicious. The inconsistencies and nonchalant service seem perfectly charming in the context of a local Italian - so sit back and enjoy.

When the rest of Chelsea is sleeping, one restaurant is already buzzing with hungry diners. Welcome to Mona Lisa! The only thing that gives this cafe away as anything other than your average greasy-spoon is the prominence of green, red and white - the tricolour trade mark of its Italian owner. Loved by locals, this is a proper English cafe that does all-day full breakfasts and just happens to do Italian as well. Prices are inexpensive, and there are frequent two-for-the-price-of-one offers on. The fry-ups at this unlikely Chelsea venue are notorious. Belissimo!

Joe's is the quintessential ladies' lunching hang-out. Despite residing in the basement of the Joseph shop, the cafe has effectively created a bright and airy feel. White is the prevailing colour throughout and many single lunchers seem to take advantage of the steel bar. The restaurant does get very busy and is one of the few remaining places without a non-smoking policy. Glorious salads and fantastic, larger-than-life sandwiches are the trade mark while the grilled vegetable salad and the Caesar salads are truly excellent. There is a small selection of cooked dishes on the menu, but they are not the main feature. There is no wine list - but a very drinkable house wine is offered.

This bubblegum-style archetypical American diner is the kind of place the characters in Grease would have frequented. It's bright and it's brash, and offers a great resting spot on King's Road for kids old and young. Staff are overtly friendly, and no-one has yet worked out if the chef's American accent is real or not. A personal jukebox with 50s and 60s music is available for each table/counter space. Ed's offers hot dogs, burgers and the thickest milkshake you'll ever have.

If you like American burgers or rock memorabilia this will be on your tourist route, so don't resist. And anyway, this is the world's first Hard Rock, so there's some value in that. Be warned though, this venue is always busy so be prepared to queue. Merchandise is also on sale so now is the time to pick-up some tacky souvenirs for your mates back home. The American menu is actually quite good, and the perfect place to satisfy a craving for a plump, char-grilled burger with a heaped portion of fries. Other healthier choices are available, of course, like salads and veggie burgers. And don't forget to leave room for those extra-sweet desserts!

Claudius Therme is one of the most renowned and popular spas of Europe. If you fancy a swim in the surroundings of roman baths, this is the place for you. Pure relaxation in the pool is guaranteed.

Alter Markt, or the Old Market, lies in the heart of the old town . It is home to the Christmas market during the festive season and the Medienburgerfest in the summer, but is perhaps best known for the Carnival which begins here at 11.11am on the 11th day of the 11th month. This is when Cologne goes …

Described by UNESCO as 'a masterpiece of Gothic architecture', the Kölner Dom was declared a world heritage site in 1996.

The relaxed atmosphere, cosy decor, attractive wicker chairs and good food all combine to make this one of the nicest places in town. Local artists exhibit their latest works on the yellow and orange walls; and if you are particularly taken by one, you'll be pleased to know that they are all for sale. The evening menu changes continually—the only thing that remains the same is the generous portions. Lunch time specials are available and the leafy patio is the perfect spot to enjoy your meal on a warm summer night.

El Gaucho , situated in the basement of the Ambassador Hotel, is by far the most expensive, prominent and exclusive steakhouse in the Dom town. You will tend to come across business people and tourists who do not need to watch every Mark they spend. Therefore, expect to pay EUR 10 or more for a starter and frequently more than EUR 20 for a main course. Some dishes are more reasonably priced; there are a few between EUR 7.50-14.50 and spit roast beef for EUR 10.50. Along with steaks, the sweetcorn soup EUR 4, kingprawns in garlic and oil EUR 9.50, and artichoke hearts in 'Golfsauce' EUR 9 are some of the house specialities.

The Alabama has changed hands on occasion over the past few years; not a difficult observation to make as it's somewhat diverse interior is a dead giveaway: a warm and inviting bar area is surrounded by photographs of American models and sponsored plastic furniture ... a mixture of styles with no particular connection! However, if you are in good company and the decor is not an issue, Alabama is a great place to enjoy classic cocktails and a bite to eat on a rainy day.

This restauarant has established itself in the Sülz neighbourhood over the past few years. Encapsuled in a warm shade of yellow, it is always a pleasure to visit the genuinely friendly, relaxed atmosphere created by the Horst family. Delicacies from Alsace such as the famous Flammekuchen will tempt you. Other delicious meals such as the garlic and crouton omelette with fried potatoes, roast pork with Roquefort sauce or the Strassburg pan fried snail and mushrooms are sure to entice you. All meals (it almost goes without saying) are served with good old Choucroute .

The Havana is a place to eat, drink and sip cocktails. Every evening it's nice and full. People often come in large groups, and stand around the room if there's nowhere left to sit. Catering to a young, professional, well-dressed, cheerful clientel, the atmosphere here is pleasantly inviting, especially during happy hour. Kitchen: until 11:30p Happy Hour 6p-7p daily Blue Hour 11:30p-12:30a daily

Despite its traditional feel, this is no ordinary brasserie. Eddy Münster is the restaurant's innovative chef who has created a menu that includes traditional dishes served alongside crumbed pig's trotters, tuna tartar with Thai asparagus, Meaux mustard, goose liver with parmesan, pigeon with truffles and fresh tagliatelle. Eating here is not just a treat, it's an adventure. The three-course weekday menu (many options are provided) features an impressive wine list.

Pablo's has been in Brussels for years and serves spicy Tex-Mex food. The restaurant is popular with young folks and the atmosphere is always sociable. The decor is simple and works well for the crowd. Dogs are often spotted under diners' tables. The menu features delicious burritos, quesadilla, enchiladas and salads. It is probably the place in town for tequila and Margaritas. Mexican beer can also be found here. There is a bar area where you can also eat.

This address in the heart of Brussels is an ideal venue for the passionate lover of the Italian cheese & tomato slice. This establishment is a pizzeria, but unlike your typical pizza chains, it is one that respects all the rules of the art of fine pie-making. Warm atmosphere, great pizzas, friendly prices.

When you set foot in 'De Bakkerswinkel' you feel like you are entering an old French bakery. The warm smell of baguettes, petit pains au chocolat and big round provençal bread, prepared with olives, garlic, thyme and sun-dried tomatoes tempts even the most strong-willed. 'De Bakkerswinkel' uses traditional French recipes. There's plenty of space for hungry customers to take a seat: some little tables and one long table. You can design your own sandwich, choose a quiche, salad or filling soup, or sit down for afternoon tea. In the summertime, the little terrace outside is in use. You can rent 'De Bakkerswinkel' for a special event, private dinner or to take high tea with some friends.

This is quite a large bar, located near Dam Square. It's close to a part of the University and is frequented by students. Schuim translates as 'foam', which is probably an indication of their most commonly served drink: beer. Het Schuim is a bit more than your usual student hangout. It gets quite a creative crowd, especially in the evening when the age of the clientele rises. It looks the part, with that typical 'thrown together' interior that seems to be the norm for every trendy bar at the moment. The pictures on the wall, which is used as an art gallery, are changed regularly. Het Schuim will serve about six draught beers and somewhere around 15 bottled beers at any given time. There is almost always one beer that is heavy enough to knock out a small elephant.

Vamos a Ver stands out from most other Spanish restaurants in that it does not stop at tapas, but also serves other remarkable and traditional Spanish dishes. You'll have nineteen starters to choose from, of which thirteen can be ordered as tapas. The main courses on the menu show a great deal of premeditation as well: 18 main dishes, including fish, chicken and meat courses. If your party consists of a minimum of two it is also possible to order one of the five famous paellas with fish or chicken. A set menu for children is also available.

Great looking Irish pub that looks like a cavern and probably has the best food of all the Irish pubs in Amsterdam. Here, you can get a full Irish breakfast or a tasty roast dinner. Its slogan is: "If you're thirsty, hungry or need to relax with friends, some of which you haven't met yet, where would you go? Molly's - and it lives up to its advertising. The atmosphere, like in most Irish pubs, is friendly and there is a nice community feeling here.
