Amanos bakery is my pick for fresh sourdough and French pastries.
The restaurant has a great vibe, and consistently good Italian food. They only take bookings for half the restaurant tables so you can take your chance on the day. Get in early though, it’s worth it!

Just a short walk from the apartment. A favourite of mine for breakfast or a casual dinner. Bottomless coffees. Always friendly service and delicious food. New York Cheesecake is awesome.
