Highwater

A sleek yet welcoming modern eatery, this popular neighbourhood spot has built a loyal following thanks to its inventive approach to comfort food. Highwater is one of those restaurants where every plate feels considered, right down to the side dishes. Nothing appears on the table as an afterthought. The chef’s menu is the best way to experience the kitchen’s seasonal approach. Created by chef and co-owner Alric Hansen, the menu balances bold flavours with thoughtful restraint, encouraging diners to explore combinations they may not have chosen themselves One of the highlights is the restaurant’s long-standing Advieh lamb shoulder with sirkanjabin. The Middle Eastern-inspired flavours bring warmth and complexity. Alongside it, a salad of endive, pickled pear, Ossau-Iraty, walnut and lemon added freshness and contrast. The drinks list is equally thoughtful, featuring inventive house cocktails, sophisticated non-alcoholic options and a carefully chosen wine selection filled with intriguing local and international bottles. To finish the evening off, the cold apple crumble delivers intense apple flavour, perfectly toasted crumble and a cloud-like cream that makes for a refreshing finish. Polished yet comfortable, Highwater makes every visit feel special.
