Food scene
This spot is truly special. Perhaps the most kooky restaurant I've ever been to, Royal Harbour Brasserie is right at the end of the pier and looks across the water. Even the view from the loo is great!
They stock Belgian beers (I'll raise a stein to that!) and have a wonderful menu consisting of tasty seafood and seasonal specials. Also a good place for a roast dinner with views!
Dog friendly, too.
