Ibēros

Walk down George Street towards the clock tower and you'll find Ibēros tucked away serving Spanish and Portuguese food that feels genuinely authentic rather than theme-park versions of tapas. There's a real sense of care here—the sort of place where the kitchen knows what it's doing with cured meats, seafood, and traditional recipes that don't need mucking about with. You're getting honest cooking in a relaxed setting, whether you're after a proper sit-down meal or sharing plates with mates.
