Limewood has an island-themed menu that works well, though the fruit-laced fusion food may be a tad predictable. Fish tacos and slow-cooked beef ribs are concisely seasoned; and the guacamole with pork crackling, fish roe and sea urchin is a surprise. You can chill on the wooden stools near the front or rest your sunburnt thighs on a plush banquette with colourful cushions.
