If you're into farm to table dining, The Rock Bank Restaurant offers a British menu made up of seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. It's a full-waiter affair so be prepared for white tablecloth dining but if you're in for a treat or special occasion, you can't go wrong.

Champagne & Seafood Restaurant

Located to the north of Ranelagh Gardens with stunning views over the area, pitch up, order some fresh-out-the-ocean oysters (or caviar if you're feeling really flush) and ice-cold bubbles for the perfect summer luncheon.
