It's a funky eclectic restaurant a stone's throw away from the apartment. They have a nice little patio, and a great selection of unusual sushi fusion. Try the "Fat Elvis" or "Ring of Fire" sushi dishes, and also the mason jar mojitos in "pina Colada' flavour, it's 3 shots of rum for 11 bucks and it's delicious!

The word "Faux" means "False", and "Bourgeois" means "Middle Class" in french. This restaurant serves honest to goodness french food without the snob element. The food and wine are awesome, and the atmosphere is great. They have some classic french dishes like duck confit, steak and escarot. Personally I like the mussels with white wine cream sauce and bacon. Last but not least, try their crème brûlée.

Good pizza for a very decent price. I love the thin crust and the paninis are quite good as well. They have a few tables outside, which is nice during spring and summer time. Fast service too. Great little spot conveniently located right along the promenade of Main Street.
