COMPARE PLACES TO EAT

 When we compare places to eat, we look at different restaurants, cafes, or food spots and talk about what is better or worse about them. We compare things like the food, the price, the service, and the atmosphere.

For example:

• This restaurant is cheaper than that one.

• The food at the cafe is fresher.

• The service here is better than at the fast food place.

• That place is the most popular in town.

Comparing helps us decide where to eat and share our opinions clearly.
