4. Duck and Waffle
The restaurant, which will open in the St James Quarter, will serve breakfast, brunch, dinner and desserts, offering a “playful take” on traditional British cuisine. One of these is its signature Duck and Waffle, with crispy leg confit, fried duck egg and mustard maple syrup. Inventive cocktails will also be available to order, as well as classic drinks.
