BigRib

Eat your meaty heart out

BigRib is a paradise for people who love meat and the only place in town specializing in ribs: beef, pork, lamb and veal prepared on the grill, bbq, stewed or smoked to perfection. If you fancy a burger or a rib-eye steak, you can get it, too. The restaurant is decorated like a late 19th century American town and has a proactive staff that gives you just the right amount of attention.

Bryus Bar

Bryus Bar

Vintage-inspired cocktail bar

Walk through an unmarked doorway to enter this retro cocktail den. While Bryus bar has a core drinks menu, the expert mixologists will happily create something bespoke. Hundreds of whisky bottles line the walls, and while seating is scarce, there is a cozy anteroom offering more intimate tables. Order an Old Fashioned, perch at the bar and pretend you're an extra from Mad Men.
