Verjus

The Tusks (Quince, Cotogna) have rebirthed their French-bistro-cum-wine-bar and arguably, this is better than the 1.0 version. Housed in the same space it was previously, the seating and service is a bit more no-nonsense than its original, more whimsical iteration. The kitchen has leaned a little more into plated dishes, and it’s much easier to make a substantial meal, with a raw bar alongside your more traditional wine-bar fare of charcuterie and cheese, as well as some, as they say in French, plats. The wine list is substantial, and focused almost exclusively on French wines, some of which are quite rare and collectable. Don’t expect the pricing to pull any punches though... All in all, it’s a really nice place to have a light dinner, and drink something rare and particular out of the French wine canon.
