El Coyote
Spice up your life with some authentic Tex-Mex flavours at the Coyote. The fajitas, burritos and tacos are all designed to sate the appetite. The owner is even more fusion than the food: a mixture of French, Vietnamese, Lao and Cheyenne Indian.

Cyclo Café
The Cyclo is a lively little place for an inviting blend of Vietnamese and continental dishes. The food is good value, the service is sharp; the only drawback is the roadshow of sellers that troop through each night, but it can be fun if you can live with the banter.
