SOTANO
BEST FOR Casual all-day eats and drinks. FOOD The signature breakfast dish of eggs Benedict is the way to go. Served on a croissant with a choice of bacon, salmon or ham, the eggs are perfectly poached, with a gloriously oozy yolk, and the hollandaise is well balanced. Or have the shakshuka made with sautéed red peppers and tomatoes. The vast lunch and dinner menu has tapas, salads and soups. Seafood dishes feature prominently, with mussels and prawns as well as classic fish and chips. The Sotano lamb burger with hummus and avo is the most popular dish. The dessert section is small but interesting: try pistachio mille-feuille or white chocolate crème brûlée. DRINKS A selection of local wines, some offered by the glass. A great list of bubblies, from MCCs to champagne. SERVICE The staff are friendly and informative. AMBIENCE The restaurant has an industrial pub feel about it. (ZN)
