Chamonix
This minuscule shopfront kitchen nourishes fondue-weary diners with big portions of sticky miso aubergine, cauliflower korma and other earthy dishes inspired by North African and Asian cuisine. There are a few tiny stools to perch on but you might prefer to grab and go. Plentiful vegetarian and gluten-free options, too.
There's a little kids' menu with chicken wraps and noodle boxes (from €5.50).
