  2. Customs House Brasserie

    If you're only going to splash out once while in town do it here, where the river view is so good that you won't even notice what's on the menu. So take it from us, the seared scallops with lime and pink peppercorn butter sauce, and the roast lamb loin with caramelised beetroot, are simply divine.

  3. Gunshop Café

    The exposed brick walls, '60s-inspired swirl cushions and wicker lamp shades that sparkle like disco balls give Gunshop Café an upmarket retro feel. But cool décor aside, the food here is phenomenal. There's always something quirky on the menu - such as the smoked salmon with green ants when we visited - and the breakfasts are so good they've won awards.
