Hey! Check out Pufferbelly at 414 French Street (814-454-1557), which is in the older part of downtown. They have one of the best Sunday brunch buffets I've had. It's a very nice restaurant in a restored, turn-of-the-century fire house. You get 20 plus items, a handful of desserts, a drink and a chef that makes omelets to order, all for around 10 bucks! On a different note, stop in a greasy (greezey) spoon, Taki's (sp) is a good choice, and order something with Greek Sauce; a strange, usually meatless chili that covers fries, burgers, dogs, eggs, etc. and only seems to be available in Erie, although bottles of it are now showing up in Giant Eagle in the "gourmet" sauces section. Many places also sell beer made by the Erie Brewing Co., the best selection of which can be found at Porters (formerly Hoppers), a beautifully restored train station, and not coincidentally, the former brewpub for EBC. andy Pittsburgh Bar Rag, The New Way to Drink! http://www.gin-n-tonic.com Barbara Y. wrote: > Going to Erie this weekend and need restaurant > recommendations. > > Thanks, Barb

Pufferbelly's is very good and there's a nice authentic Mexican place whose name I'll have to look up are you leaving Fri or Sat? I hear lots of good things about the restaraunts at Dobbins Landing (the end of Peach St) but can't vouce personally.

It has excellent food, and the decor is all Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh sports theme. Adam T.
