Angler

As the restaurant’s name suggests, fish is the mainstay of the menu – the majority of it from Cornwall and Scotland – and the kitchen has the confidence to know that when it's this good, it needs little in the way of adornment. There’s a delicate nature to the accomplished cooking; go for the tasting menu to fully experience the kitchen’s skill. The restaurant itself may be on the top floor of the South Place hotel but feels very much like a separate, stand-alone establishment with its own personality. The first thing you notice is the ornate ceiling and the brightness of this intimate room, which also comes with its own, eminently comfortable, rooftop terrace where, on a warm evening, you’ll see the cocktails go flying out.
