Claimed the city’s best Italian features the usual classics, but the specials board is where the place really shines. The cuisine leans toward the north of Italy – where chef Gianpaul Rodol trained – and the fish is particularly good. If it’s available, have the pan-fried cod cheeks on braised lentils with a caper & parsley sauce. Nothing is complex here, but it’s all wonderful.

Despite the familiar bare bricks, basic tables, sharing boards and imported beers, this place has the distinct advantage of not only serving little dishes (like baked Capricorn cheese with pesto crouton), but also some of the best pizzas in town. If you’ve any sense, you’ll go for the Rubens, as it features pastrami, Dijon and crème fraîche, as well as the master stroke of cider-pickled red cabbage.

Located in a cleverly converted former shipping merchant’s office in the Fruit Market, there’s a short menu of burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, a couple of salads and some breakfast offerings. It’s all mighty tasty and available with great coffee or intriguing beers. Probably the coolest place to eat in the city, with the best views over the marina.

This has the feel of a NY steakhouse – big-boy steaks with no-nonsense chips. It also has a theatrical bent, so while the deliberately minimalist menu will leave you wondering how the nettle is utilised in their East Yorkshire rabbit terrine, Scotch quail egg, pickled baby vegetables, tarragon mayonnaise & nettle, the waiting staff will deliver the answer with a practised flourish.

The word 'quirky' could have been invented to describe this place. It's an atmospheric maze of small rooms, with an all-you-can-eat vegetarian buffet whose theme – Mexican, Indian, Caribbean, whatever – is chosen by the FIRST person to book that evening. But the food is excellent and the welcome is warm. Bookings necessary.

England’s smallest window! Located in the wall of the George Hotel, you’ll find what looks like an arrow slit. Despite being centuries old, it remains glazed to this day. Reputedly a lookout window used by the stable boy when The George was a coaching inn, the stable’s entrance remains in the form of a large archway. The room behind the window is still there too.
Situated in the wonderfully named Land of Green Ginger (origins of the street name remain a mystery), many people see the plaque on the wall yet miss the window entirely.
