Best All-day Restaurant

 

Ortolana was the flagship all-day restaurant of the Hip Group when it opened (and it’s since been joined by Rosie , and St Heliers Bistro). We like to think of it as the heart of Britomart: a beautiful indoor/outdoor haven in the middle of the Pavilions, serving excellent fresh food backed by charming service — just perfect for everything from business meetings to après-shopping treats and evening relaxation.

The Hip Group grows a lot of its own produce, and meat, and it’s presented by chef Gavin Doyle (that’s him above, flanked by wait staff Remo Kaines, left, and Roma Tallon) with a delightfully light touch.

A favourite dish: crayfish ravioli with preserved lemon & garden herbs.
