Had a fantastic dining experience at Daphne. The highlight of the night was definitely the woodfired market fish dish — a beautiful combination of clams, mussels, prawns, and fresh fish that captured the essence of the sea. Every bite was a burst of oceanic flavour, delicately balanced with herbs and seasoning. It felt like a celebration of fresh seafood done right. Also really enjoyed the pork belly skewers — crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside, paired perfectly with the pickled rhubarb and fennel. A great contrast of textures and flavours.

Last night's chef's table experience was truly exceptional. From the impeccable service to the breathtaking artistry of each dish, I was completely captivated. This restaurant has redefined my expectations of fine dining, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly memorable culinary journey.

It's tricky organising group dining, but the team at Daphnes made it very easy. Sadly, we had some people pull out quite late in the piece due to illness/family commitments, which made things a bit awkward at the start. However - the food was non-stop delicious, varied, and creative, and we felt there was plenty for everyone. The lamb literally melted in your mouth! Our servers were lovely. And the drinks selection was excellent, including a delicious red from Spain. A very enjoyable night out.

We had an amazing time at Daphne's on Friday. Our server was exceptional - attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond. I'm not usually one to leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share our great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and we'd definitely recommend Daphne's as our new go-to spot. Can't wait to come back!

Always a good time, and even better shared. We had the blue cheese Brussels Sprouts, ricotta dumplings, Wagyu flatbread and pork skewers (not shown as we got too excited). Perfect amount for 2 people (with a little bit leftover). Everything was delicious - I couldn't pick a favourite. It's not a cheap spot, but, I do think it's worth it. Been here several times, and will come back again.

Loved our meal at Daphnes! Such a lovely spot for a date night. The food was delicious (including vegetarian options) and service was great. If you are there between 4-6 pm there are also Aperitivo Hour deals.

Had a fantastic dinner at Daphne's tonight, such a nice intimate cozy vibe! Our waitress was absolutely amazing - super friendly and clued up on the menu, making great recommendations. The food was outstanding, but the pear tarte was absolute perfection - to die for! We'd go back anytime and can't wait to try more of their delicious food! Highly recommended.
