The Western Fjords


Dine on the tiny terrace to make the most of the gorgeous riverside location; if it rains, the staff simply pulls over the sail-shaped cover. Fish is done simply, as are desserts like a good chocolate fondant. The nautical interior is an intimate space (there are only 30 seats, so it's wise to book).
