Naked Fish
Snookering prime position, a sea of green-blue walls and a starry ceiling and ocean-inspired menu keep the punters coming. Seafood melds with Cajun, Moroccan, tempura and other influences on the extensive menu and you can dine outside beneath a magnificent, giant fig tree. Limited vegetarian options.

Ladah
The menu’s written on butchers’ paper on the wall, but this ain’t no primary-school cooking class – it’s special. The cinnamon scones with jam and cream are indulgent and delicious, or try the flourless choc hazelnut mud cake. Breakfast is served all day and the coffee’s great.

Betty Blue & the Lemon Tart

Mr Mudcrab
If mud crab's on offer here, you know it's fresh – Mr Mudcrab refuses to get it in frozen. This excellent seafood shop sells fresh catches to cook yourself, as well as fish and chips and seafood pies.

Jamaica Joe's
The best time to head to this funky Caribbean diner-bar is on Sunday afternoon, when entertainment includes live music and DJs spinning old-school reggae vinyl. But it's a worthy dining option any time for dishes like Jamaican goat curry.

A Touch of Salt
Delectable seafood is accompanied by an extensive wine list and genuinely good service. When we visited, the same team was putting the finishing touches on a Palmer St tapas and wine bar, the Salt Cellar.
