Once an infamous underground haunt, Solo - formerly Bar Solo - now injects a more New York style late night scene, to one of Britain's most celebrated music epicentres on Inverness Street. The upstairs restaurant serves Mediterranean influenced food from 8am until late, assuring that nocturnal appetites are catered for, while other nearby venues may have closed for the night.

A mezze platter of Parma ham, roasted chorizo, mixed olives, lemon and oregano halloumi, hummus, spiced tomato bread and falafel could be followed by pork stroganoff, Moroccan braised chicken and whole sea bass roasted in a banana leaf with a sweet pepper salsa. To finish, a passion fruit mousse or homemade vanilla cheesecake with strawberry coulis and cream are recommended.

Solo basement cocktail lounge, jazz and soul bar serves up cocktails, grazing food and a respected eclectic music selection including jazz, soul and funk, plus an exciting schedule of live acts and events with renowned musicians.
