Three Flames

You'll drive past this unassuming spot on Wakefield Road thinking you've missed it, but the car park full of regulars gives it away. Inside, the open flames do exactly what you'd hope – transform decent cuts into something special with that unmistakable charred edge you can't fake. The Mediterranean-leaning menu keeps things focused rather than trying to please everyone. When they're firing on all cylinders, the lamb chops arrive with proper colour and the chicken has that satisfying smokiness that makes you wonder why more places don't bother with real flames. The atmosphere stays refreshingly unpretentious – just good cooking without the fanfare.
