A simple mix of darkwood furniture and walls decorated with colourful Greek trinkets, Vine Leaves is as popular with local lunch-breakers as it is with parties capitalising on its cheerful vibe and abundance of shareable meze – from an enormous portion of expertly grilled haloumi and piping hot dolmades to basturma (spiced, cured meat). All of which is easy to fill up on in itself, but it’s a shame to miss the mains, the lamb kleftiko meltingly tender and alive with the tang of lemon and cinnamon, the beef stifado rich with red wine and wonderfully warming. There’s also a varied vegetarian menu, and staff are happy to dispense advice on the compatibility of dishes with various Greek wines on the menu.
