Serendipity West

Head up to the West End and you'll find yourself in one of those spots that actually gets better the more you go back. Serendipity West sits on Great Western Road in the kind of understated way that suggests the owners aren't bothered about shouting about themselves—they're too busy looking after the regulars who've clearly figured out what's on. The room's got that lived-in feel, the kind of place where you might bump into your neighbour or settle in for a proper catch-up. Service is the sort that remembers you next time, and people clearly rate it enough to keep the tables turning and the reviews stacked high.
