The television with the sound turned down, the red-and-white sign outside boasting wines from 'Spain, Portugal, France, Germany', the knowledgeable, softly spoken staff - everything about this wine bar ('est. 1879') is discreet and old-school.
A library hush reigns within the dark-wood surrounds, as a professional, middle-aged and mainly male clientele - no journos these days, chiz chiz - quaff well-chosen wines from a 200-strong list that features many lesser-known producers: a 2008 Viu Manent cabernet sauvignon, for example. The enterprise also operates as a wine shop and runs a delivery service.
Lunch includes the traditional likes of hot open sandwiches and ploughman's with five cheese choices, but also more exotic tapas: courgette and pine nut bruschetta, devilled whitebait and battered calamari.
