Part tapas and cocktail bar, part chic fusion eatery, Louie's is a great place to while away an evening snuggled into a sofa or a fireside nook. The seasonally changing menu veers from creative tapas (venison tacos, muttonbird, mussels with lime and chilli) to more substantial mains. Slow-cooked pork, locally sourced blue cod, magnificent steaks...you can't go wrong.
