FARA

You'll find FARA tucked away in The Old Police Court on Benedict Street, a characterful Victorian building that's had a proper second life. The setting is deliberately understated: exposed stone, soft lighting, the kind of place where they've resisted the urge to over-design. What matters here is the food—Mediterranean-leaning, seasonal, executed with real care. It's the sort of restaurant where you genuinely don't know what you're getting until you arrive, because they change things based on what's good, and that flexibility feels refreshing rather than indecisive.
