Avery Restaurant

About Avery Restaurant

Tucked away in a basement dining room, this is a small, dark, warm space built for a 13-course tasting menu — so it's an evening out rather than a family teatime, though there's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking if you do bring children along. Booking is essential and it's a proper occasion price-wise. The cooking draws real praise: langoustine with XO condiment and fish butter rice, tortellini that bursts with burnt onion butter and roasted garlic broth, mussels and greens in coconut broth, and a cheese tart with cheddar and honeycomb that people remember afterwards. Courses arrive promptly and the team clearly know the menu inside out. The wine pairings are thoughtfully matched, though not every course lands for everyone — one guest found the minced pigeon and the apple custard less convincing.
