Publiq.

Freddie & his friendly team at Publiq offer one of the coziest and intimate dining experiences in this part of town. The warm welcome and Japanese Scandi vibes inside are a welcome surprise, and the thoughtfully designed menu offers a delicious array of east meets west sharing dishes; must try the Devon sourced Sirloin with the hen of the woods mushroom and roasted yeast jus which was sublime. The excellent cocktail list is perfectly balanced and exceptionally well curated and executed. All the stars for this one.

Came to Publiq for a dinner with friends. We arrived half hour early and the staff were welcoming and happy to sit us down as there was space available. Staff continued to be attentive throughout us being there. Both food (small plates style) and white wine were delicious. On the food front I would recommend a small plate, a side and a snack as sufficient to feel satisfied. A little on the pricy side, some menu items felt more value for money than others, for example steak for £23 felt good value whilst a burrata salad for £18 not so much. I guess the prices can be expected give the location however, so it doesn’t feel like something to reduce the rating from 5 to 4 star. Nice venue with a private feeling to it. Recommend for a nice dinner when you find yourself in the area.

Wow, what an amazing place. Great greeting on arrival, greeted by name and shown to our table downstairs. Small restaurant but nicely decorated with wooden panelling and painted metal grid infills. Interesting menu where the dishes are designed to be shared. We had the quail skewer, mackerel with crispy noodles, lettuce and radish salad, mushrooms, and pork. Most came out individually, which was fine, and all were well presented, cooked perfectly and really tasty. Service was excellent throughout, nice atmosphere and highly recommended for a visit.
