EB SOCIAL KITCHEN & BAR

BEST FOR Modern European fare in a trendy space. FOOD Start with tapas dishes to share: halloumi fingers fried in crispy kataifi pastry, delicious when dipped in the accompanying lemon mayo, or the arancini stuffed with Tuscan veg and melted mozzarella. On to mains, the Josper oven is the hero with dishes such as boneless chicken and an array of beef cuts cooked to perfection. Those looking for a less carnivorous offering can opt for a pasta or risotto; the wild mushroom risotto is packed with mushrooms and a decadent truffle cream. End the meal with a slice of poached peach tart with tarragon ice cream. DRINKS The impressive wine list features an interesting selection of both local and international bottles. The literary themed cocktails are a winner. SERVICE Waitrons are attentive, professional and knowlegeable about the menu. AMBIENCE The eclectic combination of Art Deco meets Morocco creates an upmarket and elegant feel. (SST)
