Pub dining$

Need refuge from the chaos of Chapel Street? Slip into a green leather booth or perch in the fairy-lit glasshouse at this rejuvenated 1868 beauty. Either spot is good for appreciating wood-grilled Shark Bay scallops in garlicky herb butter. Or the namesake bird, which is confited and served with green lentils and a vegetable of the moment.
