Activity 2 - Basic 12 (B12): Restaurants comparison



















Restaurants...


Whether you go to a fancy restaurant or a fast food one, there's always something we complain about. We also like to compare the restaurants we've gone and we definitely don't go back to the restaurants we felt uncomfortable or the ones with the worst food or service.

I always try new things and that is why I usually go to different restaurants in the city, some of them are really good and some of them are not. Some local restaurants are as good as some five forks restaurants but some fast food restaurants are not as reliable as some other restaurants.

Today's activity is pretty simple:

1- Choose 3 restaurants you have gone to.

2- In a piece of paper write down some characteristics about each restaurant like: price, service, food, place, etc.

3- Post here your experience with these restaurants and try to compare the three of them using adjectives, adverbs and as....as. 

I'm looking forward to reading about your experiences. Have a nice week guys!

And here's some videos for you yo enjoy!!

    I'm choose El verídico de Fidel,El aguajal and La Romana.
    Well i'm gone to El verídico de Fidel it takes place in La Victoria they prepare sea food.There the people are friendely and respectful.It's affordable but there are much drunk people also the food is delicious but it takes long time to bring your food like in La Romana.In la Romana you can eat italian food it takes place in Pueblo Libre,the place it's beautiful and relaxing and have an excelent service but is as expensive as El Aguajal,they prepare food from the jungle and,it takes place in San Borja.The food is delicious but this restaurant it's only for people who belongs to the A B sector and i don't like that!
    I think El aguajal is as interesting as La Romana and La Romana is as delicious as El verídico de Fidel.

    The last time I went to the Rustica restaurant, they prepare much kind of pastas and grills. Another that I have been was Rodissio restaurant, they also prepare grille meats, the prices are very expensive but the service is well. Another restaurant that I go is Sarasara restaurant, they prepare all kinds of seafood. The prices are affordable, and the food is very delicious, Sarasara restaurant is as good as Rodissio restaurant. About the services, Sarasara is not as comfortable as Rodissio restaurant. Sarasara restaurant is smaller than Rodissio restaurant.
    Sometime after my English class I go to the Rustica restaurant, its service is warm, friendly, and not much expensive, some kind of plate are a bit expensive but it is acceptable. Rustica is as friendly as Rodissio, and Sarasara restaurant and Rodissio preparing plates as good as Rustica restaurant, however The last time I was in Sarasara restaurant it was not as good as I expected.
    Each of these restaurants have a particular secret to prepare their food, and the prices are different according the meals and location.
    Always there is a restaurant where you can go to eat with your friends or family to spend a good time.

    I like to eat fast food, specially hamburguers.The last time I went to Bembos restaurant, they offer you the best hamburguers, it is delicious i like very much, Bembos has a different kind of hamburgues and a variety of ice cream. They also has affordable prices and the service are very nice and polite. Other restaurant that I have gone its Burguer King but I think that their hamburguers are really small and the prices are a little expensive for that kind of hamburguers I think that they should prepare hamburguers more big for that prices, they offer you ice creams too, similiar to Bembos, but other problem is that you have to wait a long time for your order and I dont like to wait so much. Another restaurant of fast food is MC Donalds, well the service is nice and the prices are affordable too, but the only thing that I like of this restaurant are their ice creams, in my opinion they dont have the best hamburguers and fast food that I want, the hamburguers are smaller than Burger King, and the flavor I dont like very much. So I think that Burger king isnt as good as Bembos, because for me Bembos has the best hamburguers in the world. But the service of Burger King as polite as MC Donalds, it is true the service in the 3 restaurants are really polite. The prices of Bembos are as affordable as MC Donalds and the ice creams of Bembos are as delicious as Burger King. I love ice creams and hamburguers.

  5. my choices are: Rustica, La Leña and Bembos
    I'm gone to Rustica of Los Olivos the last week, the service is very incredible, the waiter was pretty polite and attentive with my family. I ordered lasagna, not is very expensive and they serve a good portion. Some drinks are exotic but are pretty tasty. In La leña the especially is grilled chiken but also the desserts are really fantastic! and delicious. The drinks are common. i'm gone to it the last weekend, the service was good but very slow and the price is a little expensive. And finally Bembos, in this restaurant serve all kind of hamburgers but also serve tacos and burritos, mexican food in a nutshell. I'm gone to Bembos two weeks ago with some friends, i ordered a taco meat because a i love the mexican food, mexican people know how eat like us, the peruvians. the cost of this food is very cheap! and the service are friendly and fast.
    well, in my opinion the best restaurant to eat is Rustica because rustica isn't as cost as La Leña restaurant, also La Leña restaurant doesn't offer as much as Rustica restaurant. Even Bembos restaurant as friendly as La Leña restaurant.

    PS: Dear Teacher Alexander
    I would ask you to allow me to send the first activity because i was sick the last week and i couldn't enter to this blog.
    Please gime me an oportunity.

  6. I chose bembos, pardos chicken and pizza hut because they are my favorite restaurants,These restaurants are of different formats but you can eat good food in the three, Last week I went to pardos chicken I like about this restaurant is the food and the servers are Service very friendly and helpful,Bembos is a self service but the workers are very helpful and are always attentive if you need anything. pizza hut isn't as self service as bembos but In pizza hut you can feel more relaxed and youthful atmosphere, Pardos chicken is more reliable than Bembos both restaurants are good, pizza hut is more expensive than Bembos
    Bembos is my favorite restaurant becauseI like that the service is very fast and efficient and offer you the best options to enjoy a good atmosphere where you can enjoy and eat in peace

    I had an opportunity to visit these amazing restaurants with my family in different especials situations. First I visited The Dallas Restaurant for Mother's Day, in that opportunity the service was amazing, the people were very friendly, the the food was so delicious but it took a long time to assist us because there were a lot of people to spend for lunch, the place was affordable but it was so small and didn't have air conditioned. In the second time I went to Rustica for Father's Day, the food was fantastic because these restaurant had a international buffet and you could eat everything, but it was so expensive because the restaurant had beautiful views near to the beach and I didn't like so much Because there were many people waiting to enter the restaurant and were not quickly attended. And the last experience was in The CHOSA NAUTICA, my visit were always enjoyable for the courteous service, it had singers or bands that made relaxing lunch and different. I think that The Dallas because is cheaper than the others two restaurants, and you could enjoy delicious food and kind of drinks in an affordable and reliable place, the Chosa Nautica as amazing as the rustica, the prices are similar, and the services were good. Dallas doesn't has as space as Rustica. In my opinion the three places are souns good but I prefer the Rustica because you can find an international buffet.
    I considered that I waited so long because were special days.

    Ps. Dear Teacher, excuse me for give you my comment so late but I was sick.

  8. I like to eat different kind of foods.I visited 3 restaurants "LA TAQUERIA" "Sansushito" and "PARDOS CHICKEN".
    First, The last month I went to the "LA TAQUERIA" in Surco with my mom she likes to eat tacos. The mexican food is no as delicious as Peruvian food I prefer to eat Peruvian food.Second 3 months ago I visited "SANSUSHITO" in Aviacion avenue. I love to eat Sushi rolls and makis because when i was a child my father bougth japanese food near his work there were a Japanese restaurant.In SANSUSHITO the service is very friendly but the place is very small if you go on weeks yo can wait many minutes becausa there are many people.I dont like wait I prefer call to the delivery is a good idea.LA TAQUERIA as small as SANSUSHITO but its a good place to eat.Finally, yesterday I went to PARDOS CHICKEN with academy friends.PARDOS CHICKEN is not as affordable as other fried chicken restaurants. The restaurant is very comfortable the service is fast you can wait only 5 minutes to eat.When you look the menu you can see the name of the foods in spanish and in english its very interesting look the name of peruvian foods in english like an anticuchos.The french fries in PARDOS CHICKEN are salty and the chicken is juicy.I plan to go to PARDOS CHICKEN this week.

  9. I choose these restaurants: Nodaji, LongHorn, Oh! Maki

    The first restaurant is NODAJI, this is a Korean food restaurant in Aviacion, I like this place because inside is like you were eating in Korea, you take off your shoes, sit at small tables and eat with chopsticks, and the food is really delicious but a little spicy, I love eating there, other restaurant that I like is LongHorn, all meats there are delicious, the price is expensive, but the service is very well, the last restaurant is Oh! Maki, this is a Japanese food restaurant, their speciality is Sushi roll, i like to eat here because I started to like the oriental food, and the sushi is prepared with crab, shrimp, salmon, and sometimes I go there because is very near to my house. I think Oh! Maki food is as delicious as Nodaji, but more than any other restaurant I like the food that my mom prepares.

    I recently went to Restaurant Royal where are specialists in Chinese food, I ate a delicious tipakay'' Chinese'' and many snacks. I do not know how to do but it is one of the best dishes I ate. Last week I went to a Chinese restaurant also called'' Fu-chi-man'' and tried the same dish. I really believe that it is up to the Royal Restaurant. Definitely the price is higher but worth it. Also the service they provide and the comfort you find in the Restaurant Royal are incomparable.
    I've also tested Chifa dishes in China-Wok'''', are rich but so far I can not find one similar to royal restaurant. China Wok The service is a bit uncomfortable because is situated mostly in fast food establishments and not a company-owned. The price is affordable and can be found in many shopping malls.
    Fu-chi-man is as comfortable as China Wok. China Wok Restaurant isn't as comfortable as Royal. The service Fu-chi-man isn't as good as Restaurant Royal.
    I definitely prefer Royal Restaurant located in San Isidro

    I have gone several restaurants but some restaurants are better than others .
    I went to Rustica Restaurant . Was a interesting because its attention was first . I have also gone to Geminis Restaurant and Angelo's Restaurant . both had delicious food , but the cost was different . Rustica and Geminis were more expensive than Angelo's . I think it should be to Angelo's is not as well known as Rustica and Geminis . the service in the three restaurants were first . Finally ,I prefer to go to Geminis because there has the best sea food in Venezuela Avenue.

    I like grilled meats and pasta my favorite restaurant is called The Carnal is in the distric of Miraflores and are specialists in grills and steaks. The care is top quality, the restaurant is beautiful but very expensive. Another of my favorite restaurants is La Romana, I love pasta like lasagna, rabioles, cappelletti, gnocchi. La Romana is also a very nice restaurant, I have very fond memories of this restaurant because we always went with my family on weekends since opening its first shop on Avenue Sucre the good thing is that it is not expensive as well as the first that i mentioned.
    The last of the restaurants on my list is called Azato is located in the district of Brena and prepare local food. The food is very very good, but the service is not the best, not expensive good is very comfortable than two other restaurants mentioned. Azato not as expensive as The Carnal and La Romana, but her good dishes make you think differently

    well, i remember three restaurants when i have ate the best dishes.
    I choose Timbó, papa john´s and a chinese retaurants that in this moments I don´t remember very well its name. In this chinese restaurant i ate the best "Lomo Saltado" it was very delicious, the waiters are polite, and the price isn´t as expensive as Timbo or Papa John´s. this chinese restaurant is near to sucre metro´s.
    well i remenber the best grill that i have ate was in Timbó. Timbó is at Bolivar avenue, in front of the Banco De La Nacion. This place is very confortable, nice place, elegant the service is as good as Papa John´s but the valet parking is small. It´s very crowded the weekends. And Finally the people know that the best pizzas are Papa John´s. in this place you can past a good time, also you can find differents taste of pizzas. You can find papa johns store´s in differents districts. the servive is as good as Timbo . the waiters are friendly. It´s a nice place.

    I recommend you these sites fence one day you go to eat.as las canastas or papa john´s

  14. On my birthday my parents took me to a restaurant called Jumbo, a Chinese restaurant, the food was excellent and had a good service. I'm not comparing things or places but this restaurant is as good as china-wok which also has good food but the service was better in Jumbo. Like any good restaurant also charge much. Was a little pricey but worth it to eat there.
    They are always fast food restaurants competing as Bembos, McDonalds, Burger King, etc.. between these restaurants always preferred McDonalds because for me it is more popular for its Happy Meal while the food is almost similar in all 3 also i think Mcdonadls is most ppopular for children.
    Well i have several experiences there since i was kid, but someties i think Bembos has a very confortable service and Burger king hasa really delicious meat
