A photo of a meal at an outdoor café table: a tall creamy iced coffee drink, an iced tea with lemon, a plate of fried rice cake topped with a fried egg and cheese sauce, and a bowl of curry with rice and papadum.

A table at an outdoor Sri Lankan street food restaurant holds a fried rice cake topped with a fried egg and cheese sauce, a bowl of curry with rice and papadum, an iced tea and a whipped-cream iced coffee. The placemat tells the story of the restaurant chain, which began in Zagreb and has a branch in Belgrade, so the setting is probably Belgrade. Yellow chairs and a quiet cobbled street frame the evening meal.
