The Apo can be found right next to Bakery Lane in one of the oldest houses in The Valley, the heritage-listed Apothecaries Hall. Dishes are great to be shared and go beyond the standard tapas, because really, who doesn’t like some exciting and adventurous food? There are two levels and an upstairs balcony even though it doesn’t look very big from the outside. It sure has a moody, interesting personality inside.
