If you are hungry and can something good to eat, you can go to pub, bar, café, pizzeria or to restaurant. In the Czech Republic, there are a lot of different types of restaurant. There are f. e. Chinese, Italian, Greek or Turkish restaurant. A lot of people go to restaurant very often because they don´t have much time to cook or they are lazy and they don´t like cooking. Nowadays fast foods are very popular f. e. McDonald or KFC. People like it because this is very fast and cheaper than food in restaurants but it is unhealthier than food in restaurant. I like going to restaurant because I like good meal and I test some new meal. I am not going to restaurant very often because food in restaurant is quite expensive. I go to restaurant with my boyfriend or my friends about five or six times for a year.
