'Mathias is an amazing chef and on top of that he doubles as this establishment's congenial host. Provençal fare in a neighbourhood setting with a wine list that has quite a few hidden gems if you know where to look. If I could, I would be there constantly, indulging on a perfectly cooked steak and a hearty bottle of wine.'

'Thorsten and co. make incredibly delicious food. I have never had anything but a great meal there. The schnitzel is a crowd favourite, and their larger servings are always comforting yet innovative at the same time.'

'Simple and delicious, the perfect spot for a meal on your day off. Reggae is always spinning and the sake is exquisite.'

'Peppe makes perhaps the best pizza I have ever had in recent memory. It is the perfect combination of technique and ingredients presented in one of the most widely appreciated genres of food. A couple of pies and a bottle of Alessandro Viola, and you will have a superb night cued up.'

'When it comes to cocktails, I usually stay within the realms of more classical styles of libations. Think Old Fashions, a Martinez, a 50/50 Martini etc. All of which I have had there, prepared to an impressively exacting standard.'
