Walk down White Hart Road towards the waterfront and you'll find yourself in a proper neighbourhood bistro—the kind where locals actually eat, not just tourists passing through. The A Bar does French food that feels lived-in: think steak frites, duck confit, and seafood done right, all washed down with sensible wine pours that won't empty your wallet. It's intimate without being cramped, buzzy without being loud, and the staff genuinely seem pleased you've turned up.
