London's best review, food and drink news
Inspired in name and approach by the Italian enoteca (a blend of off-licence and wine bar, with bar snacks thrown in for good measure), Vinoteca is actually more of a gastropub in spirit. It places much greater emphasis on the robust and strictly seasonal food than its European counterparts might: hardly surprising, as its chef, Carol Craddock, earned her stripes at Simon Hopkinson's Bibendum across town. But even if you're not in the mood for anything more than a plate of bread and olive oil, this place is worth heading to for its impressive 200-bottle wine list, of which a changing range of 19 are available by the glass. All are modestly marked up, making this a fine place to swot up on grape varieties and regions.

I had a birthday dinner here in their lovely private room. Great food and an amazing wine list - atmosphere was fantastic and lots of attention to detail without being fussy. Atmosphere in the main restaurant is just as lovely with double doors to the street and an open kitchen. Will be going back regularly.
