Welcome back to the vibey jazz cafés of 1960s Tokyo. It's a whole vibe. Records are spun, cocktails are mixed and the food artfully fuses Japanese and Italian cuisines. Halibut is braised with saikyo miso emulsion and caper brown butter, coppa is cooked for 24 hours and glazed with sukiyaki and a saffron salsa tonnata. Add a side of celeriac and you've got the perfect meal. 

Though the name doesn't immediately conjure a cosy image per se, L'Abattoir Restaurant's dimly-lit, industrial interior does. French-influenced West Coast cuisine at its finest, if there's one thing you've got to do it's to stay for dessert. The mille-feuille is something to write home about. 

A neighbourhood hub worth exploring! Whether you're looking for a new Friday night spot  or aiming to feel like a local for one night, Strathcona Beer Company delivers on all with exceptional craft beer and a vibrant atmosphere. 

This stunning spot serves beautiful dishes that taste just as good as they look. Whether it's for brunch, lunch or dinner, peruse the garden and sip on one of the many cocktails at the bar.
