![Doppo, a restaurant in London, UK.]()
Phone: +44 020 7183 2100
Address: 33 Dean Street, London
Best Long List UK, presented by Bibendum 2026
Doppo, a casual Tuscan-accented restaurant, is definitely a hidden gem in the heart of London’s buzzy Soho. With no website, you could easily think it was just a pop up or fly-by-night place. Instead, this is a spot I recommend time and again to visitors in London who just want good wine and food, and would otherwise never discover it. Bookings are taken via an OpenTable reservation link on their Instagram page or through a Google search, and while the process is a little unconventional, it is by no means difficult. The list, at around 700 refere...

Phone: +44 20 3146 8666
Address: 85 Piccadilly, Mayfair, London
International Sparkling Wine List of the Year, presented by Nyetimber 2025
An impressive staircase sets the stage for the grandeur of the impressive sparkling by-the-glass list that greets you in this Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant. The modern but easy-going atmosphere is shaped by wooden décor inspired by the trees of nearby Green Park, best enjoyed in the light-filled upstairs dining room framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. Take time to notice the gorgeous bespoke floral casts, using plaster of Paris, that decorate the walls here and in the two private rooms, which can be combined for larger parties. The digital list makes navigating the 750 wines located on...

![Chez Bruce, a restaurant in London, UK.]()
Phone: +44 20 8672 0114
Address: 2 Bellevue Rd, London
A long-time favourite of Londoners, all of whom are very willing to make the journey out to leafy Wandsworth (not as far as you think) for the timeless and consistently excellent Chez Bruce. They say it best: “from the outset, it was our intention to serve the very best food and drink but within a relaxed, informal yet thoroughly professionally orchestrated environment”. Sharing a co-owner with La Trompette, The Glasshouse and The Ledbury the wine cellar is impressive. The list is extensive – classic French and Italian regions dominate but Portugal, Spain, Islands, Central Europe and the New W...

![Moor Hall, a restaurant in Aughton, UK.]()
Phone: +44 1695 572511
Address: Moor Hall, Prescot Road, Aughton, Ormskirk
Best Sparkling Wine List UK, presented by Laurent-Perrier 2026
Moor Hall is a luxurious grade II listed restaurant with rooms, with a history dating back to the 13th century. Since being transformed in 2015 by the present owners they’ve received rave reviews and a coveted two Michelin stars. As well as the main restaurant they have private dining and a ‘kitchen experience’. The uber talented chef is ex-L’Enclume (another two star) and El Celler de Can Roca. The cuisine is new British - delicate and produce driven, presented in exceptional and natural surroundings. It’s all tasting menus, either four or eight courses at lunch, eight only for dinner and win...

![Interior of Bocca di Lupo restaurant, London, UK.]()
Phone: +44 20 7734 2223
Address: 12 Archer Street, London
Best Italian Wine List UK 2026
This vibrant Soho institution has been serving some of the best regionally-led Italian cuisine for nearly 20 years. Perfect for many occasions – whether pre- or post-theatre dining or simply settling in for a fabulous meal with friends – everything here is rooted in Italy, though never narrowly so. Each dish is credited to its regional origins, encouraging diners to appreciate the remarkable diversity of dishes within a single country. That same philosophy extends to the very approachable wine list. With more than 200 wines, it clearly identifies provenance alongside grape varieties, broadeni...
