On what was previously the site of La Vina restaurant, the designers have served themselves proud transforming what was once an average space with little design impact into a sleek, cosy interior.
Comprising a cafe downstairs and a bar/lounge upstairs, the venue offers an impressive variety of food (served 8am – 7pm) and drink.

The entire breakfast menu (includes classics like the full English or a scrambled egg and smoked salmon bagel) alongside a good range of coffee, teas, and fresh juices, is available to take away, making Gilt an ideal pit-stop on the way to the office. Or, if you take full advantage of their free wi-fi it could even become the office.

Lunchtime offers a salad bar and tasty baguettes (try their delicious Merguez sausage with confit of red onions). Into the evening hours indulge in an extensive wine and cocktail list, try one of their imported beers or go for a more traditional ale in conjunction with the Local Ale scheme. A well devised, inviting venue that provides a welcome retreat from the usual city centre haunts.

Opening times: Monday - Thursday: 8am - Midnight, Friday - Saturday: 8am - 1am, Sunday (Excl. Bank Hols) 9am - 10.30pm.
