Food Scene
Head down to the southern point of the park and you'll find this French gem. For dinner, I recommend the Demi Poulet or the Duck Leg. If you're looking for a nice night in, the cheese board is absolutely worth it - and they deliver!

Small, dark hideaway with some affordable prices for more upscale food. Trufa burger is always a solid choice. I love the Half-Oven Roasted Chicken and Mango Salsa Salmon.

A secret spot in central park that even locals dont know exists. This is the only French Style garden in the park, the rest is an untamed, English garden. Best in the spring and summer, this is a beautiful hideaway away from the regular tourist parts of the park.
