We’ve been big fans of this casual, yet elegant restaurant in the city centre for years and it has recently undergone some major changes forsaking its international menu for a more a specialised style of cooking. As we went to press its main dining hall had already been painted with softer, darker colours and much of the space had been divided up with stacks of alder firewood, which is used to smoke many of its meat and fish dishes.
So if you like good beer, wine and cocktails and delicious barbecued meals cooked in a specially-designed smoke room, then look no further than Charlestons, which also has a fabulous courtyard terrace.
