Locals know Kimos as a take away place that served some of the best Mediterranean fare in the city. With two locations now, one a casual cafe and the other a sit-down restaurant, it has well and truly grown in popularity. The restaurant on Mount Pleasant is the bigger of the two locations, serving essentially the same fare. The interiors, with a distinctly Middle Eastern theme, can only be described as spectacular. Low seating, elegantly carved wooden chairs and stools, mosaic table tops and lavish pillows transport you to an exotic Agraba-like place. The vivid red wall with a mural adds a perfect touch. The plush interiors surprisingly do not reflect on the menu prices which can be called pocket-friendly. The menu presents a diverse mix of Greek, Turkish, Moroccan and English dishes. The breakfast options are especially popular and come with first rate coffee. Check website for more.

A seasonally changing menu combining the best of British and Spanish specialties make Lunya, one of the city's most inventive restaurants. On the menu is an extensive selection of tapas and sharing style platters to start things off. From cheese, Iberico ham and fish to Jamon, cured meats and vegetables, there's a healthy variety to the tapas menu. Spanish classics like paella are not to be missed and the hearty breakfasts are extremely popular. Dietary requirements are well catered to, with the menu offering vegan options as well. The restaurant interiors are warmly lit with brick-exposed walls giving a cozy vibe to the place, while the intimate outdoor space is a refreshing affair. Check website for reservations and more.
