Da Paolo La Terrazza

Fosters Restaurant
Opened in 1960, this unique English-themed restaurant has been around forever. The steaks here enjoy a good rep, and their Fillet Fantastic is proof of that—classic prime middle cut served on fried onions and topped with juicy mushrooms.

The food has been tamed somewhat for the Western palate but is tasty nevertheless.
