The Courtyard Restaurant & Piano Bar

Set well back from the road and approached through the courtyard that inspired the name, Bert and Michelle Egan's popular neighbourhood restaurant is a relaxed spot with some style, where good food combines attractively with reasonable prices and a pleasing ambience.

It's not a place that visitors are likely to find by chance, but useful to know about, especially as they are open from late afternoon every day so you can enjoy a leisurely early evening meal before going on to a concert or the theatre in town. Piano in the evening.
