Big Tree Cafe's Korean food is considered the best in the city and it's always packed with Koreans, as well as aesthetes who come to see photographer Adri Berger's work in the gallery upstairs. Eat inside or out on the terrace in the leafy, restful garden. There's also a choice of Western and Japanese dishes.
