      <content>I like Small World because I have kids and they offer a play area for the little ones while hubby and i enjoy a quiet (relatively) coffee.</content>

      <content>I'm a fan of Melanie's Bistro. Food is good (and wine by the glass is reasonably priced) and the people who run the place are nice. It's become a real neighbourhood spot, they also get involved and support community events.

      <content>It really depends what type of place you're looking for.

Small World Caf&#233; has excellent coffee and treats by Dufflet, but keep in mind it is very geared to mothers/fathers and kids, and sometimes there are half a dozen strollers lined up and bunches of kids running around. It also closes early, at 6 p.m., I think, most days. It's a great place if you have a child... or after about 3:00 p.m., when the moms and tots seem to clear out.

For food, I recommend Djerba La Douce, Melanie's Bistro, Quattro Raggazze. Even Ten Feet Tall has some good food and a fun vibe... It's more casual and funky than the others, a great place for a group of people.

Djerba La Douce is a family run restaurant that could use a makeover, but the food is very tasty. Melanie's is a friendly place with quite good food-- mostly pastas, plus a couple of chicken and beef dishes, more upmarket than any of the others... Quattro Ragazze, another family-run place, is popular for the very large veal sandwiches, and pastas and pizzas have been good to excellent for me.</content>
