      This

      You
      have
      heard
      of
      Black
      Forest
      Cake,
      right?
     
     
      What
      about
      the
      Black
      Forest
      Cafe?
      A
      piece
      of
     
     
      Olde
      Germany
      is
      found

      The

      one
      of

      The
      only
      possible
      drawback
      is
     
     
      that
      the

      is
      a
      little

      It
      is
      definitely
      worth
      visiting
      on
      the
     
     
      weekend.
      Prices
      are
      excellent

      agree
     
     
      wholeheartedly
      with
      their
      review.
      Cedar’s
      is
      my
     
     
      favourite
      spot.
      Great
      atmosphere,
      and
      the
     
     
      food’s
      even
      better.
      One
      of
      the
      reasons
      |
      like
      it
     
     
      there
      so
      much
      is
      that
      Cedar’s
      is
      one
      of
      those
     
     
      places
      you
      can
      go
      with
      a
      friend,
      sit,
      drink
      coffee,
     
     
      and
      they
      don’t
      kick
      you
      out
      if
      you
      aren’t
     
     
      ordering
      a
      meal
      unlike
      some
      places
      around
     
     
      town.
      So
      go
      and
      check
      it
      out,
      especially
      during
     
     
      the
      daily
      lunch
      special.

      real
      food

      my
     
     
      favourite

      the

      meal

      occasionally
      goes
      on
      sale
      for
      $3.99.
      For
      this
     
     
      amount
      plus
      tax
      (of
      course)
      you
      get
      a
      double
     
     
      burger
      -with
      real
      meat-
      fries,

      ta-da!
     
     
      A
      sundae
      for

      Not
      bad,
      eh.
