Logan Brown
Located in a renovated 1920s banking chamber, this restaurant is hailed as the best in the capital. The restaurant itself might be impressive (high ceiling, majestic columns), but it is most definitely the food that is the star of the show here. The chef is regarded as one of the country's best, go find out why. There is an excellent wine list too. Admittedly not cheap, but there is a good value lunch menu.
