Kid-free night out
I’m spotlighting the ambiance of my favourite restaurants in the city. They’re not necessarily newly opened, just have great energy (and food of course). Daphne is a modern American restaurant featuring a seasonal menu, which opened last summer (Jun 23).
It has four dining spaces:
- The front dining room
A semi-enclosed space that combines bench and chair seating, with large windows running the length of the back wall.
- The main dining hall
An open space with arched ceilings, featuring an open kitchen at one end and mixed chair & bench seating throughout.
- Bar
A mirror-lined hallway leads to a private bar area.
- Garden terrace
Includes a south and west-facing patio.
It’s open for:
Brunch
Sat & Sun: 10.30am – 3pm
Lunch
Mon – Fri 11.30am – 3pm
Dinner
Daily 5pm – close
Happy hour
Mon – Fri
2 – 6pm at the bar
I went on a Thursday night – all the dining areas were lively. The restaurant calmed down considerably at around 10pm, although it’s officially open til 11pm from Thu – Sat. So tuck the kids in early if you want to go on a weeknight for this one!
