  1. Havana

    The granddaddy of dining on the Drive has still got it, hence its buzzing patio on most summer nights. It combines a rustic Latin American ambience with a roster of satisfying Afro-Cuban-southern soul food dishes, with highlights ranging from yam fries to slow-roasted lamb curry and a satisfying platter of clams, mussels and oysters. Port, brandy and single malt lead the drink list. Arrive early to beat the crowds.

  2. The Mouse And The Bean Café

    Tucked under the rust-colored heritage Dominion Building, you'll find this great-value family-run Mexican joint. Everything - including the salsa and refried beans - is lovingly made in-house and the prices are eye-openingly low, which probably explains why the floor is still unfinished concrete. There are lots of vegetarian options - ask at the counter for tips on what to try. The feast-like Plato Mixteco is ideal if you want to share.
