Copper & Spice

Well situated near the restored Milk Market buildings, this attractively named restaurant would be hard to miss; you have to ring a bell to get in, so you are assured of immediate attention from agreeable staff.

Indian background music creates atmosphere and the spicy theme is seen in the warm tones of the stylish modern decor and on promptly presented menus, which offer an unusual combination of Indian and Thai cuisine; however, there is a stronger leaning towards authentic Indian food than Thai, with a wide range of vegetarian dishes and, unusually, there are home-made ethnic Asian desserts.

This stylish restaurant offers a different experience from other ethnic restaurants in the city, and gives value for money.

A fairly priced wine list offers a balanced selection of world wines, and Asian beers.
