Fodor's Expert Review The Refuge by Volta

Fodor's Choice
This glamorous spot serves eclectic global food amidst the original features of a stunning Victorian Gothic building that's been given new life as the Principal Hotel. Expect dishes from Spanish salt cod croquettes and South American ceviches to Middle Eastern mutabal (an eggplant dish similar to baba ganoush) or lamb shawarma. The bar is a beauty too (the restaurateurs are former DJs, so think hip).
