Za Za Bazaar

You come here expecting mediocre buffet wine and leave genuinely impressed by the cocktail list. The bar at this sprawling international food hall does proper drinks - think well-made mojitos and decent wine selections that actually complement the bewildering array of cuisines on offer. It's not trying to be a cocktail den, but the bartenders know their way around a shaker. The setting is pure controlled chaos: families loading plates with everything from sushi to curry, groups of mates on birthday missions, and couples attempting the impossible task of choosing between twelve different cuisines. The bar becomes a strategic pit stop - grab a drink, survey the buffet landscape, plan your attack. Smart move.
