13. Bar Brett
Rating: Good. “Cheery chefs execute a complex choreography in the small open kitchen where open-fire cooking adds drama and depth of flavour. Seasonal ingredients sing in deceptively simple sounding dishes such as chargrilled squid with smoked chilli and coriander, or the delicate salted baby chicken with zesty lime and soft Vietnamese herbs.”
14. Celentano’s
Rating: Good. “Celentano’s is inspired but not constrained by Italian cooking and chef-owner Dean Parker is something of a food alchemist. He experiments with ingredients and preservation techniques while fusing different culinary influences into his own individualistic style.”
15. Eusebi Deli
Rating: Good. “Occupying a colourful red-and-white corner site, the venue scores heavily with breakfast and brunch, served to a merry throng of workers and shoppers in the ground-floor space. Come for squash crostini, eggs ‘energia’ (with avocado, chiili and lime purée) or one of their Roman sourdough pizzas; alternatively breeze in for coffee and a sweet treat.”
16. Gamba
Rating: Good. “Derek Marshall’s piquant crab and ginger soup bobbing with tiny prawn dumplings was an instant hit with Glaswegians when he started serving it back in the day. Fast-forward more than 20 years and it’s still an emblematic fixture of the menu at this loveable seafood restaurant – an elegant, tranquil and softly lit basement haven.”
