Movida beef cheeks

Suzi Cheek’s has an easygoing vibe. So you thought it was all over? The pandemic, the weirdness, the uncertainty. Suzi Movida beef cheeks’s to find Katie Marron running a one-woman show after her two staff members have called in sick for the night.

Committed readers of Good Food will know the backstory, but for newcomers here’s a recap. So in the spirit of the Grateful Dead’s Keep on Truckin’ playing over Suzi Cheek’s sound system, Marron pulled the pin on Miss Katie’s and after a 10-day whirlwind of elbow grease and reinvention debuted her new bistro to what thoroughly deserves to be a grateful local audience. The main room riffs on shades of royal blue, with vivid still lifes and lavishly cheeky art-directed photographs from the Queens of the Pub series by Gerard O’Connor and Marc Wasiak. The button-cute back courtyard, facing west for the last of the afternoon sun, is a pale pink.
