Cafe by day, wine bar by night

Word to the wise: The bar holds semi-regular wine tasting evenings, so keep an eye on the website for dates.

Talk of the town: Co-owner Heather Turland was an Olympic hurdler.

This popular spot is a cross between a laid-back café and chic wine bar. Most people just drop by for a cold beer and watch the sun set, but they do great food here, too, everything from a modest cheese platter to proper, belly-filling roasts.

The atmosphere is very informal and, although it's not a late night kind of place (it shuts at 10pm), it's so relaxing here that you'll be more than happy to stroll home in the twilight when last orders are called. As the venue is licensed, you can enjoy a drink with a lunchtime meal here, too.
