The Chubby Cherub

Walk into The Chubby Cherub and you're in someone's well-loved neighbourhood spot, the kind of place where the staff remember what you ordered last time. It's tucked away on Chichester Street, that stretch where the city actually feels like it knows itself, and the kitchen takes Italian food seriously without the pretension. The menu shifts with what's good, what's fresh, and what the team genuinely wants to cook—you can taste that conviction in every plate. On any given night you'll find a mix of couples, mates out for proper food, and the sort of locals who've made this their regular haunting ground.
