The Cartologist

Head down to Framwellgate Peth and you'll find The Cartologist doing something refreshingly straightforward: decent cooking without the theatre. It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a proper dinner without feeling like you need to book three weeks in advance or dress up. The stripped-back interior lets the food do the talking, and from what people reckon, it does it pretty well. You're looking at solid British fare done right, the kind of neighbourhood restaurant that actually understands what locals want rather than chasing trends. It's become exactly the type of spot that keeps the Framwellgate strip interesting.
