The Galley

You're on Barrack Street heading towards the city centre when you spot The Galley—and honestly, it's the kind of place that doesn't need much fanfare because the queue usually speaks for itself. This isn't fusion nonsense or anything trying too hard; it's straightforward, well-executed fish and chips that locals actually queue for. The batter's properly golden, the fish isn't swimming in grease, and they don't skimp on the chips. It's the sort of spot where you grab a bite and don't overthink it, whether you're after takeaway or sitting in.
