Pyra is the latest addition to the charming Lonsdale Road near Queen’s Park. This Greek and Spanish fusion restaurant brings together the best of both worlds (chorizo with tzatziki—hello!) with incredible fish, meat and vegetarian dishes. It truly feels like a love letter to the Mediterranean. Small, intimate, and serving excellent food, it’s the perfect spot for a great evening. Plus, it also offers a private hire event space—perfect for your next birthday bash!

Locals happily queue for silken piccolos poured into cups with sweet pastel-coloured figures by Brooklyn illustrator Tomi Um. A sunny caffeine hit. 

Pair a trip to our other Portobello vintage store tips with Rellik on Golborne Road. It is also a favourite of Lady Gaga, but the price tags are a little less intimidating. It was founded by a trio of local stall holders – Fiona Stuart, Claire Stansfield and Steven Philip – more than two decades ago and continues to be a joyful space, with rails spanning Ann Demeulemeester to Yohji Yamamoto.
