Chris and Faye Port's attitude on dining is a pretty straightforward one. “The food has to speak for itself", says Chris. "It's not about having the most ostentatious setting, the most expensive tableware or the most artistic plating. It's about providing a memorable experience, exquisite food, and genuine value for money."

That mindset is perfectly in keeping with the traditional concept of the bistro, a style of restaurant that evolved in Paris and is represented by mouthwatering dishes devoid of any pretentious trappings.
