About this restaurant

Great for fine wines
Charming
Good for special occasions

Our beliefs are simple - in a world full of so much terrific food and wine, why settle for a slab of quiche and a glass of boring plonk? Our food is innovative, fresh and tasty... and available at all hours. The wine list speaks for itself - "Legendary for its iconoclastic notes. It doesn"t necessarily tell you what the wine tastes like - you have to make your mind up. It's there to provoke interest", says Harpers, the wine trade magazine. As Barossa wine making supremo John Glaetzer puts it so succinctly, "Don, this is not just a wine list - it's a book". And a readable one at that!

Little changed in over 40 years, but wider menu choices of late. Pasta dishes excellent. I think there used to be more wines by the glass which allowed more taste experiences given the exceptional range of bottles, origins and grape varietals. Will keep returning - a favourite haunt.

Best comparison would be to say another Gordons Wine Bar...go for the quality vino, small plates with terrific cheeses, lovely underground ambience but be prepared it is not cheap but then again the location is Leicester Square. Enjoy.

We booked a table before seeing a show near by. The service was friendly and efficient. We had cheese and wine but the meals being served around us looked very tempting. A real hidden gem
