We discussed this recently at a pub meetup and agreed
residentialwas acceptable.
yes if the area is mostly apartments and you consider it residential, then the occasional pub or small shop will not change it. In this example, where every ground floor is commercially used, I tend to see it differently but could maybe still accept residential (although the OP describing the character as food and shopping area IMHO clearly speaks against it). The question is even clearer when the upper floors aren’t all apartments but only some , and others are offices, some shops extend to the upper floors, etc. so that residential is even clearer not the primary landuse.
