Mertia

$$$$

Tucked away in a side alley off Bird Street, this elegant restaurant serves exquisite food championing local ingredients, but given a global twist by chef Matt van den Berg. Dinner is a sumptuous affair, with 12 creative courses, each with an optional wine pairing. At lunch you can opt for the "lighter" seven-course feast, or go all out and just eat all afternoon. Dishes include combinations like crayfish with coconut and yuzu, local trout with broad beans and mint, and grass-fed beef fillet with yellow potatoes.
