Vraic: The Michelin-starred restaurant putting Guernsey on the map (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At Vraic, Nathan Davies has created a restaurant worth flying to – and back from – in a single day, writes Carys Sharkey Flying anywhere for lunch is pretty decadent. Flying back the same day is borderline obscene. But Vraic, which opened on Guernsey a year ago, is a restaurant that has muscled its way into the fine-dining spotlight.
