Souk Kitchen
Best for: brunch
If we could only visit one restaurant for the rest of our lives, Souk Kitchen would be up there as a seriously strong contender. The Middle Eastern menu gets top marks for its locally sourced ingredients, with standouts including a falafel and beetroot salad, chilli chicken thighs and tomato-drenched keftedes. Brunch fans should save their visit for a weekend, when banging veggie fry-ups are served alongside extra-spicy bloody Marys. Insider tip: Souk Kitchen has a smaller sister restaurant in Clifton, where a dazzling deli stocks some of its own spice blends - pantry upgrade, pending.
