great service @ Regattas Bistro

Reservation Not RequiredGreat for BreakfastGreat with a large group

This is a great breakfast place - went for a work breakfast and a large group was no problem. Attentive service with water served promptly and coffee orders taken straight away. A variety of breakfasts available so something for everyone. The complimentary biscuits are a nice touch.

Funky pub with local art everywhere. Great service and decent pub food. Good casual night out. Always guaranteed a good meal and great service. The serves are generous and this is definitely the best value pub meal in town.

educating rita @ Holden Street Theatre

Good Wheelchair access

The venue was cool - a bar to have drinks first and if you're not finished take them in with you to the old Church where the play was held. Cushions make the seats comfy.

Great times @ Cafe Astros

Reservation RequiredGreat with a large group

Brilliant little neighbourhood Greek Cafe. The staff are friendly and despite there being two large groups and a full restaurant the service was quick and efficient. The food was tasty and the serves large. Salad and chips / pita included with the meal so no need to buy extras. Large groups need not fear the dreaded banquet as they are happy to let big groups order off the ala-carte menu and pay individually.

stick with steak @ British Hotel

Reservation RequiredGreat with a large group

This is a really cozy little pub with a comfortable front bar area - open fires and couches and a big beer garden out the back. The dining is self service in that you have to go up and order drinks and food which is fine and suited us as we were a large group. Despite a promising pub menu the food was disappointing. The pie was watery and tough and the sausages and mash were also disappointing. Definitely go the steak as you can cook it yourself on the outdoor bbq or have the professionals cook it, which they appeared to do quite well. Salad and bread are included with your meal. Service was good though - quick and friendly.
