Japanese...
The food is delicious, fresh and authentic.

Price wise, you're getting a good deal, it's only a small space and you might have to queue but well worth the wait!

A proper pub
It's a proper pub, like British pubs should be. The landlord has been running it for years and it very proud of his establishment.

They seem to attract a mixed crowd young trendies and with old foggies.

Happy and jolly I had a great night.

Art & coffee
The coffee is amazing (not surprising as they use the same award winning beans at Flat Whites) and cheap.

I highly recommend stopping in to look at the art work and when the weathers better sit outside it so secluded.

Most importantly the staff are a happy bunch and will quite happy chat to you about the day.

Fun
This fabulously unique deli bar offers beautiful fresh snacks and salads, perfect for a light lunch. The vibrant and sociable atmosphere at Roadtrip coupled with mouth-watering cocktails makes it a hit for a fun night out with friends.

Great Italian food
Al Volo is the smallest Italian you'll find in the City. It does really good food really well. There's no pretentions here, just good quality cooking. I love the attitude at Al Volo.

Traditional mediocre bar
The Reliance is a traditional bar serving a wide range of real ales, Belgian beers and Czech lagers as well as wine and cocktails. Their food menu consists of classic pub grub, much of which is home-made.

Vegan food!
Mmmm... well it's different.

I love the concept, the restaurant is actually a converted bus and I'm happy to eat vegan food, I can live without meat. But for some bizarre reason the veggie burger I had tasted a bit fishy. The funniest thing was when I asked what went into the burger, the chef said I don't know just left over veg. Haha

Thanks Rootmaster, even though it was a strange experience I did have a good time and would definitely come back but I'll try something else.

Good coffee
So so chilled. I love this place.

You can use their internet facilities (it's cheaper in the internet cafe up the road) and it's colourful and vibrant.

I could sit in here and do work or sit outside and chat, it's not too noisy and the interior is unique.

Oh... And the coffee is quite good too!

Showtime
Went for dinner at The Brickhouse. It is very new and quite different, you feel like you're on a ship.

The food is absolutely fantastic - not surprising as the chef Matt Reuter has previously worked at a number of Michelin starred restaurants.

There were two acts on that night - quite unusual but very interesting. We had our table for the whole night and towards the end most people were chatting and socialising around the downstairs area. The beds on the top floor are great and the venue is different and will definitely be the place to go before long. Highly recommended.
