Eating while riding horseback was pioneered by the efficient Mongols, who also adjusted to reading, receiving haircuts, and filling out their taxes atop their four-legged mobiles. Enjoy the convenience of chairs and tables with today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of inspired bistro fare and drinks at L'attitude Modern Eatery, a charming, family-owned restaurant located in the historic Pawtuxet Village.

L'attitude's eclectic menu defies pigeonholing by highlighting a variety of international flavors. Amid brick walls, high tables, blue tablecloths, and a wealth of friendly service, diners can relish grilled day boat scallops and asparagus with balsamic drizzle ($12), or extinguish blazing belly cravings with warm brie, served with ciabatta crisps and house-made blueberry preserve ($8.25). Burger-lovers can flirt with the brandied pear burger with caramelized walnuts, dried cranberries, and gorgonzola ($10). The wild mushroom and black peppercorn meatloaf ($15) and herb roasted chicken ($16) entrees offer elegant comfort, like snuggling with a teddy bear who's wearing pearls. L'attitude also offers family-style plates that accommodate two or more normal humans, as well as gluten-free options that accommodate normal humans with a distaste for gluten. Regular live music keeps ears occupied so that they don't pester mouths for food samples.
