Awesome arthouse cinema. Also has exhibitions and a great (but fiendishly difficult) movie quiz. Plus a restaurant with pretty good pizzas.

Gorgeous but reasonably pricey restaurant house in an stunning old building that (I think) was a bank or financial exchange. We go here for special occasions and can't fault it.

Incredible Chinese restaurant. Expensive compared with your average Chinese place but delicious. That said we've heard some good things about some of the places in Chinatown - ask us for details.
