Great for fine wines
Charming
Neighbourhood gem

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!

Fantastic atmosphere. You go through an unassuming door just off Leicester Square and find yourself in a crowded cellar bar. When we were there they had opened a Nebuchadnezzar (not sure of spelling) of red and were serving from it which added to the buzz. The food was excellent and the wine delicious. We will definitely go back.
