There’s nothing as comforting as a classic bowl of ramen, and Ramen O delivers in spades. Known for its Tonkotsu–style ramen (made in Kyushu-style Tonkotsu pork and soy soup), the menu is small but mighty.
Drown your sorrows in the creamy broth and make sure to leave room for the Mochi Daifuku for dessert.

For those moments when only carbs and good wine will do, Amici Wine Bar & Deli is hard to beat.
Serving up perfectly paired wines, cheese, meats, and hand-stretched pizzas, book a table on a Tuesday night to make the most of their bottomless pasta offering.

Few things hit the comfort spot quite like a really good pizza, and at Pizza Officina, you’ll find plenty of options to choose from.
Their classic pizzas are crisp and flavour-packed, while the custom options will have you going back for multiple slices. Hot pepperoni pizza with whipped cream on the side? This one you’ll have to try for yourself.
