Café René

You'll find yourself tucked away on one of the city centre's best stretches, where Café René does what it does without fuss or pretence. It's the kind of place where you genuinely can't predict who you'll bump into—office workers, students from nearby, regulars who've been coming since before you were born. The menu won't surprise you, but it's exactly what you want when you're after something satisfying: solid pub classics that won't disappoint, and the sort of drinks list that actually knows what it's doing. There's a reason nearly 1,600 people have rated this place—it just works.
