You'll find yourself on Croall Place, just off the Walk, at a spot that's got the kind of crowd that actually lives nearby rather than seeking it out specially—though they should. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing: nothing flashy, but the sort of cooking that makes you realise how rare it is to eat somewhere this competent without the pretension. It's the kind of place where the staff know regulars' names and the menu changes based on what's actually good right now, not what some corporate calendar says should be in season.

Known for

  • Seasonal menu that actually changes
