Aztec Bistro & Bar

Head down Falkland Road and you'll find yourself in the kind of place that actually delivers on its promises—proper cocktails, generously portioned Mexican dishes, and staff who seem genuinely pleased you've shown up. The vibe is stripped-back bistro rather than theme-park theatrics; exposed brickwork and ambient lighting create something that feels grown-up without being precious. It's the sort of spot locals keep coming back to because the food's honest, the prices won't sting (mains hovering around £12-16), and you can actually have a conversation without shouting over a chart-topping playlist.
