At Rebellion Wine Bar, we have created an experience based on comfort, accessibility and epicurean delights. While Rebellion is truly homegrown in Cocoa Village, it was inspired by summers spent visiting relatives in Tuscany, along with extensive industry knowledge cultivated in various metropolitans. One thing that defines Rebellion Wine Bar is our extensive and exclusive offerings of natural wines. Natural winemakers celebrate the uniqueness of their grapes and regions, rather than strive for consistency in the marketplace. For our foods, we continue our emphasis on well-crafted fermentation. The menu reveals an array of cured meats, aged cheeses, as well as pickled vegetables. We especially pride ourselves on our locally sourced baked sourdough bread for our divine grilled melts, which unite childhood nostalgia with artisan quality sandwich making.

    An excellent meal, menu was refreshingly small and easy to work through, great advice from our friendly and helpful server. Non alcoholic cocktail was (cucumber gimlet) was delicious and a tropic old fashioned was very enjoyable. We over ordered - the sharing flatbread as an appetiser was what tipped us over the edge (although it was good). My wife made her main up from 2 appetisers, the sprouts (excellent) and the wings (great flavour but slightly on the dry side in style), and I had the pork belly with scallops that was superb. Overall price was about right for the location and the food quality.

    Typical American restaurant with very good food for a family dinner. What was annoying was that there was a tablet at the table, through which we were to pay later, which made noise all the time and advertisements appeared. Therefore, points are deducted.
