Good wholesome food – just like you always enjoyed when you went home to visit Papa :-)
As you say, almost anywhere can be a good people-watching spot – just sit down for a while in London and watch the world go by; we did it yesterday and saw some very strange sights…

Chez Papa is that really a restaurant? It sounds awfully like a made up name…

People watching though. Good discussion point. Where is the best place in the world to people watch?
In Amsterdam, my second (or is it third?) home i like Cafe Tabac in the Jordaan. They know me, have great big cushions on the roof of the kitchen to sit on and best of all it is set on a crossroads by two bridges over the canals. I spend many an evening with a small glass of beer watching the passers by especially the tourists not quite have enough momentum to get over the humped bridge and have to get off and walk, crash or argue with their boyfriend that getting bikes was a stupid idea.

It is a great people watching spot but there must be many, many others like Tabac and cafe Papa.
