Belly General Store

Welcome to the belly of the feast. Sure, empanadas, hand-frosted cupcakes, and chicken salad scoops look all sweet and innocent. Just like the old-fashioned sodas, candy, and farm table seating: they’ll hook ya.

No-frills Bolognese bowls, cheesy margheritas, and brunchtime mimosas by the carafe. Laid-back vino and Italian hits to fill your tum without emptying your wallet just off the bustling North Highland sidewalk.

The members-only lounge above Darkhorse Tavern opens to the public only for weekend brunch and trial visits (first Wednesday of the month), but there’s no pretense once you’re in.

Alon's

Gourmet Euro takeaway, a prize few cafe lunch tables, and some of the city’s most revered desserts all under one roof. Whether it’s single-serve Nutella, goat’s milk chevre, or Swedish seltzer you seek, you won’t leave disappointed. Or hungry.
