More than just the natural number following seven and preceding nine, when combined with a black ball, eight can give you all he answers to life's seemingly unanswerable feasting questions. Say yes to octuple dining with an eight course taster menu for two at Juniper Restaurant.

With a striking white and violet façade, making it easily identifiable on the commercial yet residential street on which it resides, Juniper Restaurant is a quaint eatery offering cosy yet contemporary dining. The various quiet corners housing tables for two, each with their own chrome lamp for added effect, provide a suitable setting for intimate dining and attempts to make conversation while stifling 'mmms'. The larger tables comfortably accommodate  bigger groups while a private upstairs space can cater for bigger supper parties.

- Crayfish and salmon cocktail, crab cake with fresh crab hollandaise
- Smoked breast of duck, confit leg meat, ginger and garlic jelly, port syrup
- Pea ham hock and truffle oil soup

What a charming restaurant! Beautiful ambience with linen tablecloths and napkins. The food is superbly cooked and the service is excellent which makes such a change! Three visits since November 2010, and the standards were still high.

They really do have everything to make your evening as special as possible. I would definitely recommend this place for special occasion meals, and in particular for romantic meals or dates as it has the perfect atmosphere for this. Juniper gets five stars in my books!
