The Highlander

Three-century-old pub where French bistro cooking meets proper pub atmosphere, complete with stone floors and crackling fires.

You'll find proper old-school pub charm here – stone floors that have seen three centuries of spilled pints, fireplaces that actually roar, and that particular kind of worn-in comfort that only comes with age. But don't expect your standard pub grub. The kitchen takes a decidedly French turn, serving up bistro-style dishes that feel both sophisticated and satisfying. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for a long lunch on weekends or cozy up for dinner when the fires are blazing. The fact that they're closed Mondays and Tuesdays tells you everything – this is a kitchen that takes its time to do things properly.
