I'm a burger snob but I rate these for sure. The best bit about chur are their interesting new sides like fried pickles or quail eggs. Worth it! Can be noisy, you might want to try the Paddington one.

Drinks & Nightlife

Pub turned Bistro, the Beresford is a great place to enjoy a few drinks and have a bite to eat. Fancy enough for a cocktail, in a beautifully renovated art deco building and casual enough for a beer.
