Once a booming manufacturing hub, this 22-block neighbourhood is now designated a National Historic Site. Bailey’ s dark wood décor and stately armchairs set the scene for elegant fine dining, like gorgeous rack of lamb scented with rosemary. Minimalist 65-seat eatery deer + almond has earned a reputation as a hospitable hipster haunt. Palateexpanding dishes such as quail with chicory, parsnip purée and red wine sauce show chef Mandel Hitzer’ s creative cooking. Modern art brings a pop of colour to The Mitchell Block’ s intimate dining room. Chef Sean McKay’ s housemade pasta is sublime, like rigatoni with pork and fennel sausage, cured in house. Authentic, scratch-made fare is what’ s on the menu at Peasant Cookery. Tuck
into French classics like onion soup and tourtière made with local Berkshire pork. At Saddlery on Market, indulgent shareables and meaty mains are presented in an updated heritage space. Try the massive, rustic veal meatballs draped in sweet tomato sauce.

Stalls( retrofitted from the building’ s former life as a horse stable) hold favourites like Empanadas and Company and Kyu Grill, home to the Japanese inspired heroshima sandwich.
