Cafe Paci

Cafe Paci would be a navy suit or a little black dress if it were an item of clothing - appropriate for any occasion. This high-energy European bistro slash wine bar never fails to deliver, whether it's for an aperitif and nibble at the bar, a romantic night out, or a long-overdue get up with pals. The à la carte menu, which ranges in size from small appetizers to large-format entrees, is inspired by chef and owner Pasi Petänen's Finnish heritage, with forays into Italy and France.

Whatever the reason, this is the type of meal that people are craving right now. Fermented chilli butter is used to dress up plump prawn and tarragon ravioli; A rich and slightly pungent smoked-trout XO is mixed with potato dumplings, and a tender whole chicken is coated in black garlic and served in chicken fat vinaigrette. Trust your server when it comes to wine; everything on Giorgio De Maria's list is lighthearted and food-friendly.
