In a great location at the top end of the city, this characterful spot combines the relaxed vibe of a wine bar with the attractively priced cooking of a bistro. Tasty, carefully prepared small plates – such as succulent monkfish tail with leek mayo and umami-packed charcuterie jam – are served by a cheerful and helpful team. The wine list offers plenty of choice, but you can also choose a bottle from their shop next door and pay corkage to enjoy it while dining; French and Italian producers are particularly well represented.

Whether it's Orkney scallops or Wiltshire pheasant, there’s always an appealingly muscular quality to the cooking at this popular pub set in a smart residential street amid elegant Georgian terraces. You can choose between elaborate dishes with international flavours and touches of originality or those of a more traditional bent.

An eco-conscious ethos is the guiding light for this unpretentious bistro and its original vegetarian and vegan dishes. When dining in the front part of the restaurant, you'll find shelves adorned with ingredients from their allotment just outside the city – which provides around 40% of their produce. The well-priced small plates are designed for sharing, with the kitchen's knack for using complementary flavours and textures on show in the likes of Jerusalem artichoke with ajo blanco and apple & shallot vinaigrette. A five-course ‘feasting menu’ is available at dinner if you're feeling indecis

For dessert, choose from the menu or go old school and pick whichever cake most entices you from the trolley.

The cooking reflects his influence, with dishes from the robata grill forming the central part of a menu that is distinguished by fresh produce and an authentic approach.

A former Georgian greenhouse has been transformed into this light, airy restaurant with whitewashed walls, a vaulted ceiling and a feature wall decorated with over 90 green plates. The concise all-day menu comprises a range of sharply executed dishes that showcase the kitchen’s ability to hold back and let their quality produce do the talking – such as the megrim sole with Café de Paris butter.

The bread and butter to start is, of course, a highlight and you may even consider ordering a second portion.
