Restaurants

This small restaurant opened in a blaze of publicity in 2005, not least because it has a Korean woman chef, and serves Korean food with a modern contemporary twist. Some dishes work, but others miss the mark. Naju pear (one of the fragrant varieties of pears from South Korea) and mango salad arrived looking like a window box; there were so many mixed salad leaves that we had to play spot the pear and mango' (four or five pieces were eventually uncovered). Spring onion pancake resembled a thick, deep-fried quiche, yet was packed with fresh vegetables and so tasted better than it looked. Beef stew was scrumptious; the meat had been slow-cooked and was exceptionally tender, and the gravy, flavoured with bone marrow, was rich and caramel-like. Despite our caveats, we would rate Wizzy as a wonderful local eaterie as opposed to a wonderful Korean restaurant.
