“Still serving great tapas with some influences from different countries” – this bright modern café opposite John Lewis is a well-known standby in the city, with the main drawback being that “the noise-level can be difficult at busy times”. Opened in 2010, it was the first peg in a local chain that nowadays incorporates Hanover Street Social, Bacaro and Bouchon.

Two-level tapas haunt opposite John Lewis that’s “still a big favourite” thanks to its “interesting” selection of dishes. “The only drawback can be the noise – it’s a high space with a mezzanine level and lots of hard surfaces, so it is difficult to talk when it's busy”.
