Brel

Ashton Lane's a funny wee street—all cobbles and character—and Brel slots in like it's always belonged there. You'll walk in to exposed brick, low ceilings, and that particular warmth that comes from a place that's been serving the same crowd for years without trying too hard. The kitchen takes Belgian food seriously: we're talking proper moules marinières, hand-cut frites with actual mayo (not that red stuff), and waterzooi that tastes like someone's gran made it. The beer list is genuinely mental—they know their Trappists from their Lambics, and the staff actually care about matching them to what you're eating. It's not fancy, but it's done with real conviction.
