Agave Bistro & Drinkery
Cuisine Good Food Guide Selection
Our verdict
True to its name, this popular spot in the main street of the city has a distinct Mexican flavour with two chefs presiding over the kitchen who have deep connections to Mexico. The starters and mains use authentic ingredients that take full advantage of local produce paired with genuine seasonings and spices. Tight, well-presented dishes from a menu that includes a delicious duck breast, Veracruz-style seafood rice dish and Monday $5 tacos. Don’t miss the great drinks from the Agave Drinkery.
