De Bolhoed
“Eclectic” hardly seems an
adequate word for an interior
that combines Dutch granny's
knick-knacks with Thai statues
and Australian aboriginal art, all
against the background of a zany
colour scheme, but this is the
best vegetarian restaurant in
town. Tuck in to big helpings
with organic ingredients and a
Mexican touch.

L'Indochine
L'Indochine
Owner Kiet Anh Le flies in
fresh ingredients for delicate
Vietnamese dishes and spicier
Thai cuisine. L'Indochine is not
just an excellent Southeast Asian
venue, but a superb restaurant in
any category. Cream-and-white
decor and a placid, watchful
Buddha make for a calming
atmosphere. Not to be missed.

Le Pêcheur
Crystal chandeliers, an
elegant courtyard garden and
genteel staff contribute to an
atmosphere of timeless chic at
this top, centrally located fish
restaurant. Slip your lips around
succulent oysters, revel in a
classic
bouillabaisse
or go for
something more adventurous,
like roast monkfish with wild
mushroom pasta, or flappingly
fresh fish with an explosion of
Thai spices.
