One of the most likeable London arrivals of recent years, this bright, handsome wine bar and restaurant takes food and drink seriously yet without pretension. The speciality is ‘natural’ wines, made with organic and biodynamically grown grape varieties or without added sulphur, sugar or acid.

The unstuffy list is dominated by French regions, augmented by a short Italian section and a ‘token Spanish’ red and white; the excellent staff are more than able to point you in the right direction if you ask for advice.

The food, too, is terrific: a tapas-style selection of French bar snacks, charcuterie and seafood, plus plats du jour of the pot-roasted quail or brandade de morue variety. It’s bigger than it looks, spread over the ground floor, the lower ground floor and a surprisingly airy, pleasant basement, but you’ll still probably need to book – it’s a popular place, and with very good reason.

This is an excellent wine bar...if you don't mind being surrounded by 'suits' and other business bunnies having meetings or hob-nobbing. The wine selection is amazing and the nibbles are superb. It is a little pricey though, and you don't get much nibble for your money. I was a little embarrassed when I asked for the house wine and was swiftly told that 'We don't have a house wine' *scoff scoff!, 'we have a selection of fine wines'. I then abruptly asked for the 'cheapest bottle'. Not my best moment, but he should have been a little more discreet and given me his choice of a nice cheaper wine. Might go back again at some point.
