Address: 51 Lamb's Conduit St, London
Best Long List of the Year UK, presented by Cloudy Bay 2025
Noble Rot opened their doors in late 2015 and immediately hit their stride as a not-to-miss wine venue in London. Located in Bloomsbury on the quaintly historic Lamb’s Conduit Street, it’s Parisian inspired and feels as if it’s been there forever. The wine bar at the front is light and comfortable, with prize tables in the double fronted bay windows, a roaring fire in the colder months and walls adorned with the very cool front covers of their eponymous wine magazine. The restaurant at the back is cosy and inviting. The food is classic Franglais bistro fare – ideal for wine. To be honest,...

Les 110 de Taillevent in London is an embassy of the classic Paris restaurant Le Taillevent and its sibling Les 110 de Taillevent in Paris. Located by Cavendish Square just a short walk from Oxford Street, this gorgeous brasserie has a relaxed but high-end approach to wine. As for the name “Les 110 de Taillevent”, the 110 refers to the numbers of wines available by the glass, in either 70ml or 125ml. To go with the 110 wines (or many more by the bottle), you'll find 30 a la carte dishes.

Noble Rot Soho is the second venue from the team behind the wine magazine and Bloomsbury bar/restaurant of the same name, installed in the former home of the Gay Hussar, the iconic Soho restaurant loved by politicians and writers, established in 1953. There’s no bar space here, instead two classy but cosy restaurant floors and a stylish private dining room up top. ‘Old Soho’ is reflected in the interior with proper wooden furniture; antique mirrored walls and vintage decanters line the length of the walls along a ceiling height shelf give full bistro glamour. The first floor features wall-siz...

Address: Shoreditch Town Hall, 380 Old Street, London
Best Long List of the Year UK, presented by Cloudy Bay 2025
The list at the 2-Star The Clove Club (two-star) stetches close to 800 references, yet doesn’t feel remotely unwieldy, no bottle unnecessary. Wines from all over the world are given their chance to shine; the very best producers at all price points have been selected. Showcasing a mixture of classics with age and newcomers/rising stars, there is a focus on small growers and organic and biodynamic producers where possible, but not for their own sake. Wine pairings are offered (including one interspersed with ambient brewed rare teas). By the glass offers plenty of interest—fine wines and older...

The team behind the popular (and great) Brat restaurant in Shoreditch has done it again, this time in Soho. We would probably define this as a fine-casual-dining restaurant if we could, and fine it is. With two levels of dining and bar seating on both floors, you can either reserve a table for lunch or dinner, or drop in. The cuisine has a lot of cooking over fire, just like Brat, and there are bites, small dishes and mains to choose from. With the staff knowing what they do, we simply ask them for navigation. Wine-wise, well, it follows in the footsteps of Brat but does even better – Mounta...
