Artisan and Vine

Although it is more of a wine bar than a restaurant, the food is incredibly fresh and wholesome. I have tried several things on the menu, and they have all been flavour-packed (the salmon and cod fish cakes are possibly the best I've ever had!). The keyword is simplicity, with dishes like home-made burgers and savoury tarts all sourced from local farmers and the like. The cheese is also divine, if you only fancy a snacking platter. The service has always been friendly, and the atmosphere is lively without feeling hectic. Bascially, a very pleasant dining experience topped off with heavenly wines (and the attentive staff are only too happy to suggest matches for your food)! Highly recommended.
