Strung with coloured light bulbs, Volt is a neighbourhood fixture for daily changing, market-sourced dishes such as turbot-and-prawn ravioli with cauliflower cream, Thai-style steak tartare, or crab gyoza (Japanese dumplings). Its bar stays open until late, or head across the street to its bruin café (pub) sibling, Gambrinus.
