Addis Restaurant & Bar

The name might bear some resemblance to the capital city of Ethiopia and so does the décor but the idea of serving starters before a meal veers in a different direction. Usually an Ethiopian meal eschews the concept of appetisers, but Addis Restaurant chose to buck the trend and go all out to offer small nibbles that prepare the palate for delights that follow.

Admiral Codrington, The

Although a pub with a large bar that has a bit of a reputation for appealing to Sloane Rangers and American tourists, the Admiral Codrington actually attracts a lot of its customers for its food.
