We will have to fetch our own dinner our first night in Sydney. We'll be
staying at the Grace Hotel. Can you recommend a web site where I can scan a few menus of nearby places for a DM-friendly dinner? TIA, Janet -- Janet Wilder Bad spelling. Bad punctuation Good Friends. Good Life

The Grace's own eateries look promising:

Can you recommend a web site where I can scan a few menus of nearby places for a DM-friendly dinner? TIA, Janet Hi Janet To be honest, no I can't. It's not the way I travel. My usual technique is to first check out the hotel site http://www.gracehotel.com.au/foodbev.htm ($29 per person for a buffet is a bit steep for me) and then take a stroll around the district and decide from that. I rarely dine at expensive restaurants; in Sydney I am more likely to dine at an ethnic restaurant (Indian, Chinese, Thai etc) or in a Pub Bistro. There should be plenty of possibilities nearby. If you prefer to go for a walk or try the local buses, there are a lot of restaurants clustered around Darling Harbour, to the west of your hotel, and Chinatown is a little further south in the district just below "Sydney South" on the map: http://www.gracehotel.com.au/location.htm If you want "atmosphere" with a price go north towards Cicular Quay and the Opera House and you will find lots of resataurants clustered around there with harbour views.

Another point is that in most restaurants and cafes there will be the
opportunity to get diabetic friendly meals. I got a delicious asparagus and sun dried tomato frittata with a great salad yesterday in a hospital cafe. These kinds of meals are by no means rare here. Also most of the walk in small eateries in the CBD area of Sydney have their menus on the door, windows etc so you can check it out before walking in. "Alan S" wrote in message ...

I have discovered, in every country that I travel in, if I can get the word across that I'm diabetic, nearly every place I've been to is happy to make a meal to fit my needs. I just have to find the right phrase to translate.  --Sean -- Sean Dennis * * http://outpostbbs.net Author of Cheepware BBS doors and sysop utilities SysOp of Outpost BBS running Telegard/2 under eComStation 1.2
