C-Bar & Longboard are two restaurants side-by-side half way along The Strand and both are great for water's edge dining. Recommended for lunch.

I'd say the best restaurant in town, 'big city' standard. When booking (except for mid-summer) ask to be seated outside.

Just take your time and do not order everything at once. The staff are perfectly comfortable with you staggering your food order. This helps you select the order that you want dishes presented, paces the evening out and stops you over ordering.

If you want to experience something a bit different, this place has a really interesting menu (not your everyday, usual stuff). Don't let the shabby street frontage put you off. Dining is at the back, in an outside courtyard and it is really an excellent restaurant. BYO makes it even more outstanding.

Excellent for meals or as a bar just for drinks. The bar here is popular with the business set but the Quaterdeck Bar at the Casino has the edge.
