One of the oldest chinatowns in the world, it has reduced in size due to gentrification. Hub to both OG Chinese spots and new trendy spots. Still a great place for cheap fresh produce, or frozen dim-sum. Defo still a gem of a place to visit. #supportlocal

A good selection of beers on tap. Good bar food. The patio is amazing with water views. This is definitely a great summer hangout spot. I have spent hours on that patio! Good brunch option too. They are pet friendly, just ask abs they’ll seat you by the perimeter where your pup can be on the other side of the fencing.
