Babylon

You'll find Babylon tucked away on South Street, that stretch where the city centre starts to feel properly lived-in. It's the kind of place locals actually return to—not for Instagram moments, but because the kitchen knows what it's doing and the staff treat regulars like old friends. The dining room has that comfortable, unpretentious feel that makes you want to linger over a second glass of wine, and the near-perfect 4.9 rating from nearly 900 reviews speaks to reliability rather than flash. This is proper neighbourhood restaurant territory.
