Baron 84

Walk into Baron 84 and you're stepping into somewhere that takes its food seriously without the pretension. Bold Street's got plenty of restaurants these days, but this one's different—the kitchen knows what it's doing with Persian spices and slow-cooked stews that've clearly been simmering for hours. You'll find yourself at a table surrounded by locals who keep coming back, picking at chargrilled lamb and saffron rice whilst the place hums with proper conversation rather than Instagram posing. It's the kind of spot where you can tell the owners actually care about what lands on your plate.
