Restaurant Hubert

The verdict

From the boys of the Swillhouse Group (Shady Pines, The Baxter Inn, Frankie's Pizza) Restaurant Hubert is bringing a bit of the old school back with this French-inspired restaurant. Think dishes like chicken fricassee, steak with pepper sauce and creme caramels all with a modern twist conjured up by head chef Dan Pepperell (ex 10 William Street).

The space itself is luxurious with a true European vibe making you feel as though you've been transported to Paris (but without the jetlag and post-plane skin). On the drinks side of things expect to find classic cocktails such as Manhattans, martinis and margaritas as well as a French-influenced wine list.

If all that wasn't enough for you already, they've just launched a daily happy hour and it's damn good (and damn cheap). Apéritif hour happens between 4pm and 6pm daily and that means you'll be able to nab a cheeky G&T for $5, a Negroni for $10 and a freaking glass of Riesling for $5 too, and guys, there are some pretty sweet food deals too. They're slinging parfait for $5, their Normandy burger for $10 and olives for $3, and that's literally only the half of it. Get there.
