Looking for an immaculate neighbourhood wine bar stuffed with cosy nooks and tasty snacks? Monal Dining is the hostess with the mostess. Stay for a glass and some picky bits, share a few small plates or go all out with the banquet. Think pork dumplings, lemon molasses-glazed chicken and fried bread and butter pudding.

Rogue Bistro
Rogue (noun): “someone or something that behaves differently from others of its kind.”
This definition couldn’t be more true of the quirky folk behind Rogue Bistro, a compact fine-dining nook tucked away in the back streets. Here they serve up a six-course degustation that rotates monthly, focusing on artful expressions of the freshest seasonal produce. To the pleasure of anyone with dietary requirements, there are separate degustation menus available for vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, seafood-free or gluten-free diets.
