101 Meade Street

$$$

This hugely popular restaurant is one of George's finest. The menu is fairly small but manages to bring in plenty of variation, including excellent steaks, venison, fresh seafood served Spanish-style, and even a couple of curries. There's strong emphasis on sourcing high-quality ingredients, from local suppliers wherever possible. The breakfast menu goes way beyond the usual bacon and eggs.

The Deacon House

$$

A lovely colonial-style house is the setting for this charming restaurant. Eat beneath shady umbrellas in the lush gardens where inviting paths are flanked by nicely trimmed hedges and low stone walls. Sip superb coffee on the cushioned sofa or enjoy some quiet moments on the airy verandah. The food is healthy, tasty, and innovative, and there's a small but comprehensive wine list.
