  • After a 2024 refresh, this iconic Sichuanese restaurant is back with a menu of more than 100 dishes. The fiery, pungent originals are still around, but live seafood, southern-style yum cha and other regional specialties are now in the mix.

  • Architect-turned-chef Audrey Shaw worked at London’s legendary River Cafe, followed by a stint with Tedesca Osteria in Red Hill. That experience is evident in her elegant weekly-changing menus, where whole fish cooked over coals is the only constant.

  • Inside a cosy converted garage, this one-man roasting operation punches above its weight, with two espresso blends, rotating single-origins and a welcoming community vibe. Sit in at one of two benches with a vinyl soundtrack or grab your 'spro to go.
