At MenuMania, as you may have guessed, we’re all about restaurants, cafes, takeaways and eating out. You may be feeling a bit more budget-conscious this year, but don’t forget to show your local eating places some love.  You may not be able to spend as much on eating out as you once did, but when you’re making a decision about where to spend increasingly precious dollars, don’t overlook the eateries you cherish and respect most. Because if you don’t support your favourite restaurants today, they may not be in business tomorrow.

Is there a restaurant you couldn’t (or wouldn’t want to) live without? Let us know what it is – and why – in the comments sections below.
