Probably our ‘go-to’ restaurant. It’s Middle Eastern cuisine and never had a bad meal, super tasty. It’s also ‘bring your own’ alcohol, so the bill is always very reasonable at the end of your meal.

Drinks & Nightlife
Great place to be at any time of day; brunch, lunch, afternoon drinks, evening meal, Sunday roasts or late night drinking. They have a decent Happy Hour menu and lots of beer choices. We particularly like the pizzas here.

Another good place for any time of day. Friendly atmosphere and good gin collection. If the weather’s good this is the place to be, its terrace is a sun trap. They always do decent food specials and a selection of homemade cakes (the hot drink and cake offer is perfect for an afternoon).
