They also serve buckwheat galettes - both....

The traditional Malaysian breakfast of Nasi....

The "Mixed" pizza at this New York-style pizzeria is piled so high with delicious ingredients that we needed a fork to manage it. Garlic cloves, big chunks of onion, semi-raw green peppers, spicy pepperoni slices - each bite full of pleasant surprises.
Other varieties like Mushroom, Cheese, and Italian Sausage & Green Pepper are also toppings-heavy and quite satisfying. Jalapeno &....

Chili pepper daredevils may be interested in trying out the Ema Datshi, a chili-cheese stew that's absolutely packed with peppers. Prepared by Lasola's Bhutanese chef, it's one of the spiciest dishes we've found in Tokyo. Although it's very tasty and quite manageable in small bites, we needed a lot of extra rice to get through a bowl. (Fortunately free rice refills are provided upon....

Tapas, pintxos snacks and paellas are served with Old World wines and Spanish sherries at Bar Espanol Picar. The six-part tapas platter provides a good mix of flavors to accompany your first glass of wine. It's big enough to share but not too big to enjoy all by yourself. The liver mousse is worth ordering on its own - it comes in a hefty portion studded with raisins and complemented by....

Lauburu is specifically dedicated to the consumption of pork. From the brass pig's-foot door handles to the....

The meal starts with an artfully arranged platter of five tiny starters to spark....
