Saltsheds Bar & Bistro

You're walking down Beach Road towards the seafront and you spot Saltsheds—the kind of place that feels like it's been here forever but doesn't reek of nostalgia. It's got that relaxed coastal vibe without trying too hard. The menu swings between comfort food and something a bit more considered, and they clearly know their way around both a cocktail and a decent wine list. It's the sort of spot where you can roll in for a casual lunch or dress it up for an evening out, and you'll feel equally at home either way. Locals appreciate it because it doesn't try to be something it's not.
