Tarragon has been on the tip of everyone’s tongue pretty much this whole decade, and we’re not surprised. The Mediterranean fusion restaurant sits snugly in St Paul’s Bay and has the appearance of a high street shop.

Inside is a whole new experience, with an elegant vibe and an outstanding menu with a certain emphasis on the excellence of its seafood.
