Go to discussion forum and read the message posted by Mary Jones, recommending a place to eat out
in Concepcion,. Reply and give tips about the restaurants you would recommend and the ones you
dislike giving your reasons.

I recommend…..

Dear students,

My family and I like eating out on weekends. We usually go out for Chinese food at the Chung Hwa
restaurant on Barros Arana or Feng in the Ecuador Park.

I would recommend Feng because it has a menu for 4 people at a very convenient price and it is also
possible to buy food to go. I consider Chinese food, healthy because it is based on vegetables and so it
is cholesterol free. For the meat lovers, there is also a big variety of dishes to choose from including
pork , duck and of course, beef.

There are several other ethnic restaurants in town: a Japanese restaurant called Sublime, on Freire
Street, an Italian restaurant on Avenida Alemania called Belli but, in my opinion, they are too
expensive!

Which restaurants would you recommend in Concepción?

Which are the ones you dislike? Why?
