A surprisingly hip restaur-
ant inside a Creole house complete with dark-wood interior, this cool culinary outpost
specialises in French-inspired cuisine with a twist. If you want a recommendation, go for
the 12 Burger, with homemade bread. It's also a good place to hang out and just enjoy the
tropical atmosphere while noshing on tapas on the shady terrace - the bar section is open
from 3pm.

Kudos to the chef
for transforming the main-course salads - so often the dullest dish on the menu - into
something fresh, tasty and filling. Everything is freshly made and most accompaniments
are organic and locally sourced. Vegetarians will find options, too, such as the signature
tarte aubergine feta
(pie with eggplant and feta cheese). Service is zippy and friendly.
