This stylish South African transplant is all warm wood, earthy tones and jovial staff. The menu is big on creative salads utilising quinoa, roast butternut, halloumi, fennel and labneh, and modern bistro-style mains like Mediterranean lamb cutlets with feta, olives and tzatziki or seared salmon with cauliflower mash. It's a popular breakfasting spot too.
