Chelle's

You walk into Chelle's and immediately get that feeling of settling into somewhere that actually cares about feeding people well. It's the kind of place where the dining room has proper character—nothing overwrought, just good bones and thoughtful touches. The menu reads like a proper brasserie should: classic French technique meeting seasonal British ingredients, executed with confidence rather than showiness. Whether you're after a weeknight supper or something more substantial, there's a sense that the kitchen knows exactly what it's doing. At these prices, on Victoria Road, you're getting considerably more than you'd expect.
