Looking for simply delicious food with great service and a cool ambiance? Then head to the Dabney in Blagden Alley. This is one of the most popular Michelin-starred restaurants in the city so they book up well in advance. Insider Tip: They always hold a few tables for walk-ins. Show up early but if you still have to wait for a table, grab drinks at the Columbia Room next door.
