Pomodoro Sardo offers modern and seasonal Sardinian cuisine with seafood, culurgiones, malloreddus and fregola all featuring in the menu. I scored a window seat perfect for people (or rather, peak traffic) watching and availed myself of the complimentary pane carasau and olive oil.

We happened to be in the area so we thought we'd try out some of Le Petit Gateau's famed cakes.
