Commentaire sur un hôtel espagnol :

Restaurant male staff not very friendly.... Visit ***the WOK*** over the road you will love it... Take your own bottle of wine in for dinner, it will be better than the 8 euro vinegar they sell...

J'ignore si le WOK en question a quelque rapport avec la phrase qui précède et celle qui suit...
Toutes les hypothèses sont bienvenues !

French translation:name of restaurant?
Explanation:
This could be a restaurant called the WOK, or it could be shorthand for "workers' caff" . Only guessing though. Are there any other words like this in the text?
