Nàdair
Scottish-inspired, Poncey-Highland tucked — effort that doesn't feel try-hard.
Nàdair sits in a converted industrial suite off Zonolite that most people haven't found yet, which works in your favor. The menu leans seasonal and considered — think lamb, foraged things, natural wine — without the pretension that usually comes with it.
