Early on we were challenged to never eat at the same restaurant twice. There’s so many pubs and restaurants here we think it should be possible. To help we’ve started keeping track of where we’ve been and plotted them on the map below. Click on any of the pins on the map to see the name and some brief comments about the restaurant.

| O'Connors | 9 Thomas Street, Limerick, Ireland | Very busy cafe where we found lunch. | Show |
| Old Port Royale, DisneyWorld | Caribbean resort, Orlando | Terrible! Choices range from macaroni and cheese to pizza - either cheese, or pepperoni. Loud, shopping mall cafeteria style seating and way too much Mickey Mouse. | Show |
