The Toff has a number of different rooms to cater to different tastes. It's a great and varied venue, that runs movie nights, live musical acts and even just some rooms for good old fashioned drinking with your mates.

A traditional Mongolian barbecue restaurant, the Khan offers good food cooked in the traditional Mongolian style, but its service and atmosphere leave something to be desired

I went in there with a list of obscure ingredients. They had all but one of them - and that one they immediately went online, found a recipe for me to prepare my own and printed it out for me. That's above and beyond.

Zandy is a highly trained psychologist. Her approaches to patient issues are flexible and empathic, and she is very insightful. I have found our sessions to be very helpful in reshaping my way of thinking and finding connections I was previously unaware of.

Approximate cost: $105

Fast and friendly service, a good range of product - the only downside is the prices, which aren't great (although fine by city standards). And they're open until 2am on weekends, which makes them an excellent choice for clubbing munchies.

Approximate cost: $10

Sahara features good food in generous portions, and even better drinks, but it's not cheap - about average for the city. The place has a nice warm atmosphere and (mostly) very friendly staff.

Approximate cost: $16

A busy place where the staff always give the impression that you're just one of a dozen things they're trying to do that minute, but good quality work for reasonable prices.

This is one of those tiny little places buried in an out of the way arcade that you could easily miss. But once you find it, you'll go back. They have an incredible range of chocolates, each of them so rich you get a sugar rush just looking at it!

The staff are friendly, helpful and very well-informed about their merchandise. The shop is a little small, and the range of sizes not always great - although that's as much the fault of clothes makers of days gone by as anything - but it has a welcoming vibe.

Splendid Turkish cuisine and an absolutely fantastic atmosphere - especially on Friday and Saturday nights when the place is packed and there are belly dancers. Also does take away and delivery.
