    Amazingly tasty bavette steak. Love this place for wine - and they also have a unique barrel-aged beer to try!

    Really great menu, changes daily, full of surprises. Try the salt baked celeriac and sherry-like Niepoort wine. Stand at the bar and eat there!

    Busy restaurant/bar with really friendly service. Tip: Eel chowder with black potatoes is delicious/ on tap prosecco not so good. Food (8/10), Service (9/10), Value (7/10) Read more

    Great food. Fab service in private dining room including a fun (not too serious) wine tasting.

    Go to Vinoteca straight after work to ensure you get somewhere to sit. Great intimate venue with a fantastic selection of wine. Try out their nibbles too - really high quality stuff!

    Fantastic freshly cooked seasonal food with extensive wine list. Get there early, it's full by 6.30 most nights. Cosy atmosphere. Fully recommended
