Food Scene

One of the best Pizzas I've ever had, all fresh never frozen ingredients and yes they sell out of pulled pork pizzas on a regular basis so you have to order early.

Great little bakery and coffee shop. They're open every day and make some fantastic bread. It gets busy and the service can get slow but the quality is never compromised.

This restaurant cannot be pigeonholed into any specific genre of food. The menu is unique and original with incredible flavors and textures. Some local favorites are the broccoli, tartar, rabbit and bacon pate, fresh oysters and celery root. For a larger plates share the braised short rib and finish with a cheese platter. Basically you cannot go wrong. Everything is amazing.

Amazing family style service, and unbelievable cocktails. Try The Catholic, #Immigrant or Slap your Mama...... They're expensive but so good, and if there's only a couple of you sit at the bar to watch how they make all the drinks. It's a great show.
