Food Scene

The best brunch, with gluten-free and vegan options too, including the best dairy-free cheese in town. My favourites are their huevos divorciados and peanut butter smoothies.

Great dinners, on the pricier side. Not many vegetarian options, but at least two seafood mains a night. And the staff are the sweetest––when I got my wisdom teeth removed, they gave me mashed potatoes on the house.

My go-to for late-night mussels, fries and cocktails. They also do dinner really well and have a kids' menu. Dishes are labeled for vegan, gluten- and dairy-free diets. On the pricier side.
