| Frog at Expo | This English-style pub located in the Expo 98 site is part of the Frog & Rosbif chain. The pleasant downstairs bar has a wood floor, and there's another bar upstairs. Beers are brewed on site and some are served by handpump - the bitter was excellent. The food is perhaps a little 'plastic' but still good.
