Popular place, so book a reservation ahead of your trip in order to get a table. My favourite is the fungi pizza….best ever! They also have a take-out bodega for yummy eats at home.

Best ice cream I’ve ever had. The vegan offerings are amazing and you wouldn’t know it’s vegan based on the quality.

Great place for all day breakfast or lunch (no dinner) but think of getting there early if a weekend, as there are often lines and a bit of a wait for a table. They don't accept reservations. Worth the wait though, as lots of options to try.

I just love this place. The restaurant is a Quonset Hut, so all about the food, not the interior. Amazing meals, never disappointed as quality is always the same across many visits. You will need to book ahead to make sure you get a table for the time and day you want. Views are lovely in summer on patio.
