Tides

You walk down Abbey Crescent towards the seafront and suddenly you're at Tides—all floor-to-ceiling windows facing the bay, the kind of view that makes you remember why you live here. The room itself is unfussy: natural light, minimal fuss, everything pointing towards what's on the plate. This is proper restaurant cooking, the kind where they know their suppliers and aren't afraid to let good ingredients speak for themselves. Expect impeccably fresh fish done simply, meat that's been thought about, and a drinks list that actually gets interesting.
