Ever-changing menu of gorgeous, seasonal dishes. Everything is made from in-house - including their incredible bread and butter. It's on the higher end for a casual brunch spot, but we think it is worth a visit. They've started offering a lovely dinner service too. (And, next door is an excellent bottle shop.)

Our very favorite special occasion restaurant. They are often booked up, but they keep their entire patio for walk-ins. Excellent natural wine menu and incredible food. Start with the uni shooters!
