Probably one of the best wine bars on this side of town. This place has got a huge heritage. Love this place every time I have visited.
A bit disappointed though to see additions of beer to the bar menu in a traditional wine bar. The Cork and Bottle platter is highly recommended
Our Little Secret.... For local's in the know, this is one of the best places to go in Leister Square if you want a good meal at a reasonable price. The wine list is wonderfully extensive and insane and makes for a good glug after work, before or after a movie or the theatre. It is small, subterreanean and gets hot and crowded especially at weekends, so only tell friends you really really like and maybe we can keep this our little secret!
Whilst walking through Leicester Square, my boyfriend and I found Cork and Bottle! Such a lovely little find! Very easy to miss, this quaint mystery is hidden below a door on the approach to Leicester Square, opposite Zoo Bar. When you walk down the old fashioned, iron staircase it's like you take a step back in time and into France! You enter a cave like cellar filled with mismatch tables, candles, french decor, a cheese bar and A LOT of wine!
The staff here are friendly. We met the owner who clearly lived for this restaurants. You could see his passions lie with Wine and cheese, and most definitely fine dining cuisine as he fed us tasters and informed us about the wines on offer. It was lovely to see such passion.
We only visited for a drink, which were not too badly priced in fact! We took a look at the menu whilst relaxing on a table sipping at our drinks and it looked interesting! A variety of French dishes on offer, somewhere we would like to eat one day! Promising restaurant for future visits!
