Good restaurants tend to live or die on consistency: a menu short enough for the kitchen to do properly, produce treated with care, and plates that taste the way you remember them. In a busy beach suburb, the season shapes everything too — summer weekends bring the crowds, popular tables fill early at brunch and dinner, and locals learn to arrive before the rush or book ahead. Watching who is eating there tells you a lot as well; a room of regulars midweek is usually a better sign than a queue of holidaymakers.
For anyone eating out around the Mount, BAKED sits handy on Newton Street with a rating that suggests it is worth a look.
