Places worth knowing
Restaurants & Bars.
The tables, terraces and bars I would go back to — from seafood lunches with your feet practically in the water to beautifully done celebration dinners and cocktails worth planning an evening around. Every review is based on my own visit, with the details that genuinely made it memorable.
