Dick's Cafe/Bar

Walk down Bedford Street towards the river and you'll find Dick's tucked in amongst the independent shops and cafes that make this stretch genuinely worth your time. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—regulars have been coming here for years, and there's a reason for that. You'll get honest food, decent drinks, and staff who actually seem pleased to see you, which shouldn't be remarkable but somehow is these days. There's a real neighbourhood feel to it, the sort of spot where you can drop in for a coffee and cake midweek or settle in properly come evening.
