Yeah, I get that. Les Bouchons is amazing food-wise, no argument there. But the atmosphere… it's definitely more low-key than the hype suggests. I've been a few times – weekdays are definitely quieter. Weekends, especially Friday and Saturday nights, are a much better bet for that buzzy bistro feel. It's still not gonna be a screaming-match kind of place, but you'll definitely see a bigger crowd and more of a vibe then. Give it a shot on a weekend.

The views from the Benjamin Sheares Bridge are pretty spectacular at night, no doubt. However, some of the best photo spots are on the bridge itself, and they involve being pretty high up. If heights really bother you, you'll probably be happier viewing it from afar. There are plenty of parks and areas along the waterfront where you can get decent shots without having to feel like you're about to take flight. Maybe check out the Esplanade – the views from there are also amazing, and it's definitely much more ground-level. You'll still get a killer shot of the bridge!
