Nooch Bar and Kitchen

Head up Upper Craigs and you'll find yourself in Nooch's deliberately unfussy space—all exposed brick and honest lighting, the kind of place that knows good food doesn't need theatre. The menu leans into Korean flavours and techniques with serious skill, but there's nothing fussy about it. You'll find yourself ordering more than you planned because everything on the plate just works. The bar side of things is equally thoughtful, with drinks that complement rather than overshadow the food. It's the sort of spot locals keep coming back to, packed on weekends but never feeling frantic.
