The Counter House

Housed in a refurbished warehouse that seamlessly blends industrial charm with contemporary elegance. As we stepped through its doors, we are greeted by an inviting and vibrant atmosphere, where the echoes of the building's industrial past harmonize with modern design elements and a warm ambiance. The exposed brick walls, polished concrete floors, and soaring ceilings create a spacious yet intimate setting, enhanced by an eclectic mix of furnishings, including plush sofas, communal tables, and cozy nooks. The décor is punctuated by pops of color, botanical accents, and striking artwork, contributing to the restaurant's vibrant and inviting aesthetic. The heart of The Counter House lies in its innovative and diverse menu, which celebrates flavors from around the globe while embracing locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. From indulgent brunch offerings like brioche French toast with caramelized bananas to inventive small plates such as crispy cauliflower bites with tahini dip, each dish is a masterpiece of culinary creativity and craftsmanship. At the heart of The Counter House's ethos is a commitment to sustainability and community engagement, reflected in its partnerships with local farmers, producers, and artisans. This dedication to supporting the local economy and reducing environmental impact adds depth and meaning to the dining experience, allowing guests to feel a sense of connection and purpose with each bite.

We popped in for snacks on a Monday. It was surprisingly busy for the start of the week, but the weather was nice that evening. Some really nice choices, not an enormous menu but plenty of favourites and very well priced, in particular in the current climate. The coffee was very good too, which in my view also says a lot about a place.
