Aber dining

You're walking down North Parade towards the seafront when you spot Aber dining—the kind of place that doesn't need neon signs or Instagram theatrics to pull you in. It's got proper gravitas, the sort of restaurant that makes you want to book ahead and dress up a bit, without feeling stuffy about it. The food lands solidly above what you'd expect from a town our size, with clear technical skill behind the plate. Locals keep coming back, which says everything—we're not easily impressed, but this place does the work.
