So many brilliant restaurants and bars in this converted market hall. Buzzing atmosphere at the weekend. Lots of places don't take reservations, so be prepared to stroll around and see what you fancy.

Coffeeeee!
Plenty of ways to make coffee in my place, but if you want a really good cup / just enjoy the ritual.. try these places..
I love this place. Good coffee, always a paper lying around to read. Pastries and sandwiches, drinks in the evenings.
Dog friendly, human friendly, small place out back for those of you who smoke, music on a Tuesday night.
