Etching itself into the Michelin-star pack this
year, Glass (pictured) has found favour with
its masterful menu. If “coffee-crusted lamb,

Set in an area filled with art galleries, Babette may be styled on an early 20th-century French brasserie, but the food is resolutely Italian. Fuss-free dishes include the likes of artichoke flan with Parmesan fondue, and quail breast stuffed with meat ragout. For group dining, choose between a large room, a smaller room sometimes used for exhibitions, and a cosy courtyard.
