From traditional recipes to dishes with a modern twist, these three local eateries each bring something different to the table. Here's what to try and what makes each one worth a visit.
1. A Taste of China at 1919 Lanzhou Beef Noodle
There's a reason a good bowl of noodles never gets old. At 1919 Lanzhou Beef Noodle, it's all about the handmade noodles, flavourful broths and traditional Chinese recipes.
Our pick: Lanzhou Handmade Beef Noodle Soup
This classic dish combines handmade noodles with a fragrant beef broth and tender slices of beef. It's a comforting choice if you're new to Lanzhou-style noodles and want to start with a traditional favourite.
For those who prefer bolder flavours, the Hot Spicy Beef Noodle Soup brings a little more heat to the table.
And don't overlook the sides! Their Beef & Chive Dumplings make a tasty addition, especially if you're sharing a meal with someone.
2. Lebanese Bakery Favourites at Chester Square Manoush Cafe
Few things beat the smell of freshly baked bread, especially when it's topped with savoury ingredients.
At Chester Square Manoush Cafe, traditional Lebanese bakery favourites take centre stage, with plenty of choices beyond your usual cheese or meat topping.
Our pick: Shanglish Pide
If you're keen to try something different, the Shanglish Pide is worth adding to your order. It features aged cow's cheese, tomato, onion and za'atar, bringing together tangy, savoury and herby flavours.
Prefer something more familiar? Their Meat Manoush is another favourite, featuring seasoned meat spread over a flatbread base. It's a great place to explore the different flavours and styles of Lebanese baked goods.
3. Lebanese-Inspired Café Dining at Zaitouna Cafe
Bringing Middle Eastern flavours and modern café favourites together, Zaitouna Cafe is a great spot for breakfast, brunch or a relaxed catch-up with friends.

Not your usual bacon and eggs! This generous breakfast features eggs, pita bread, za'atar toastie, sujuk, halloumi, feta, olives, fresh tomatoes, cucumber and labneh. A delicious mix of savoury flavours, creamy cheeses and fresh ingredients.
