dalloway terrace

Named after the fictional Virginia Woolf heroine, Dalloway Terrace might be peppered with quintessentially British accents (and a nod or two to the classic novel) but it still maintains a thoroughly modern charm. The refined, elegant service is mirrored in the faultlessly executed food, adding to the restaurant's palpable air of sophistication. Seasonal blooms decorate the outdoor-indoor dining space, with clusters of fresh foliage dotted around the ceiling and doorways, meaning you're never far away from the perfect picture opportunity.

Whether you’re popping in for a glass of bubbly or making a beeline for their baked goods, we promise you’ll leave with more than a few fashionable flat lays.
