Superb staff, excellent wine list, very decent food. Simply the best french wine bar not in Paris... (and perhaps with a broader selection of Vins)
What a delightful find!! A must stop to avoid the typical pub scene and have a casually sophisticated experience!! Great wine selection and delectable tapas style portions. Friendly staff and nicely priced. A definite yes to this place !!!
This is were the wine trade goes to drink the best artisanal, rare and unique wines. Really tasty food and bar snakes too. If I could change one things, I wish it was closer to my Weat Kensingnton home! Best wine bar in London.
Stumbled across when looking for somewhere to grab a cheeky breakfast!! Lovely place, friendly staff & delicious food ���
The best welcome. The best wine. The best tapas dishes. Stand out octopus in London. The most charming service in London. Small. Intimate. Come and enjoy.
Fantastic prosecco wine, very lovely staff and amazing oysters �! I highly recommended! I will definitely visit again!
Excellent atmosphere, excellent wine, really nice staff, I will be back :)
Fantastic place, great food, quirky wines, eclectic owners - Perfect! Seats about 15 people in total.
Amazing home made pasta ,and specially the wine selection is super!!
Thanks to Andrea

Excellent wines and service! A great spot for the apéritif :-)
Kunnig personal! Supertrevliga och serviceinriktade!
Have had many a late night here surrounded by good friends, gifted winemakers and great magnums.Long may it continue.Happy anniversary very soon
Having worked in the wine industry for the last 9 years now, it really has become a big part of my life. Wine is what got me interested so much in food all those years ago. Wine is what helped me develop my passion for travel and most importantly – wine is what made me start my blog, The Foodaholic. It was actually a colleague at my previous company who told me I talk far too much about food and that I should write it down instead. His excuse to keep me quiet. So I did and I’m forever thankful to that person. With that in mind I found myself at The Remedy recently. A cosy wine bar tucked hidden away in North Fitzrovia.
An hide gem in Fitzrovia.
Little , warm , cosy place where to chill and enjoy oyster and wine .
The atmosphere is relaxed and quite .
I loved the range of wine they have and the amazing happy hour with 2 pound for each oyster .

The cheese selection was superb. They were all cow cheeses apart from one which was ewe’s milk, and most of them were from the same region as they had held a special event with cheeses from that area the week before. The mildest was a creamy but not soft cheese with a layer of ash in the middle, then you progressed through the hard ewe’s milk cheese to a comte, a blue cheese that looked very blue but was pleasingly mellow, up to a cheese so tangy it made my eyes water and my mouth pucker. It was amazing. The bread was served with a very grassy olive oil.

A stones through away from Great Portland Street and the heart of touristy London, Remedy could not be more different than your standard Fitzrovia tourist trap.
Tucked away on a side street you'd never find without a purpose, Remedy's space is small and intimate. The tall wooden chairs, the menu written out on black boards, the charming little candles and the very French waiters all come together to make you feel like you're in the Mediterranean.
Upon entering we were seated by one of the two staff present and were promptly brought water and carefully explained the food and wine specials. The extensive wine menu is divided by colours which vary from your traditional red to orange, which I must admit I hadn't been aware wine could be.
After a considerable amount of deliberation we opted for a Chilean bottle of red along with a cheese and a cold cut platter. The waiter was very well informed on both and was able to carefully detail where each cheese and ham had been sourced from and the sorts of tastes to expect.
Remedy has managed to pair great wines with a selection of great quality food and a charming ambience and I would highly recommend it to any wine fans out there.

What more could you ask for on a Friday evening? Delicious independent juicy wines, carefully selected organic cheeses and melt in your mouth cured Italian meats. If you fancy a relaxed, informal environment, providing space for a romantic meal or a cozy glass of red with your family or friends, pay a visit to The Remedy Wine Bar in the heart of Fitztrovia. Make sure to book ahead though as the bar is petite and very popular.
The Remedy Wine Bar is the brainchild of two entrepreneurial wine geeks, David and Renato, who met while working together at Terroirs Wine Bar near Charring Cross. Having recently celebrated their first anniversary, the bar now attracts a host of wine enthusiasts and regulars. Their wine is sourced from independent wineries. I love this concept, a great ethos. More time and effort is spent on sourcing the best wines from smaller producers.
On arrival, positive energy and super friendly hosts greeted us. The dinky restaurant was full of wine lovers, some of whom had noticeably been there for a while, being evident through their rosy cheeks and lethargic manner. But one thing for sure, everyone was here to enjoy wine.
Being early, well straight after work, my diner and I weren’t feeling a full-blown meal. Instead, a selection of meats, cheeses, olives and well of course, wine was on the table! To begin, a hearty Malbec from Cahors. People tend to associate Malbec with Argentina, yes because they are the biggest producer of Malbec, no because the Malbec grape originates from Cahors, the well-known wine region in the South West of France. The bottle was £28 and an enjoyable choice with slight tannings and a smooth finish.
The rest of the meal consisted of olives, cheeses and meats. These large green and fresh Sicilian olives were buttery and meaty. So good, we ordered a second round. We had a selection of five cheeses, which I fail to remember the names of all, though the goat’s cheese was delicious. The five meats were from different parts of the pig and were all very delicate, tasty and had been sliced to order. My favourite was definitely Coppa - a portion of air-dried meat from the pig’s neck.
From beginning to end everything was brilliantly charming. Our server Danny and also restaurant manager was a great guy. Hugely enthusiastic, helpful, genuine and eager to make certain everything was perfect. Thanks gentleman.

As previous reviewers suggested, I made a reservation for two for a Thursday evening. I am glad that I did! Remedy is an intimate affair, perfect for couples or small groups (4-6). One long room, the first half has several low tables and bar tables, so capacity is probably around 30 patrons at a time. When you walk in, the first thing you notice is the exposed brick walls and large black chalkboards that display food and drink options. Just beyond the seating area is a large, well-stocked bar. Since it is the holiday season, lights were strewn throughout the restaurant.
Upon entering, we were promptly greeted and seated at a bar table. Though a small staff (two sommeliers), they run a tight ship. The first sommelier that helped us gave us the wine menu and pointed our attention to the large chalkboards and gave us a run-down of what was on that evening. The wine list is spectacular, and just a bit humorous. They have very funny descriptive captions - Rose was described as ‘Reds Cavorting as White’. Despite the lighthearted humor in the menu, they have a serious selection! From what I gather, they also change the selection frequently.
My pal and I ordered a bottle of Valpolicella Classico, an Italian Red described as aromatic, perfumed and floral for £34. We also ordered a Salami plate £5 and the large Cheese selection which features 7 cheeses selected by the sommelier for £17. The cheese selection was hands-down amazing! The sommelier that delivered the cheese explained every cheese in detail. They arranged the cheeses from lightest to strongest, and recommend the correct order to eat the cheeses for maximum impact. Take their advice, totally worth going in the correct order.
After a good hour of cheese, cured meat and a bottle of wine, we asked the other sommelier (David from Seattle!) if he could recommend a different red wine. He recommended a French fruity, robust red - Domaine Lacroix-Vanel Coteaux du Languedoc Pezenas Fine Amor…I had to photograph the bottle to remember it because that is a mouthful! (£14 for 2 glasses)
David then recommended we try a more complex but drier red from Italy - Fabbrica San Martino Rosso Colline Lucchesi. In great detail, he explained why this particular wine blend was special. He was totally right- it was very special! (£19 for 2 glasses)
After spending about 3 hours at Remedy, I give this place 5 stars! In terms of décor and atmosphere, this intimate restaurant has a great boisterous vibe. Everyone was laughing and having a great time. Despite their very obvious breadth of knowledge, the staff are light hearted and cheerful. Everyone has been to wine bars that take themselves to seriously…Remedy does not fit that stereotype at all! The two sommeliers on staff were excellent. They clearly know their menu inside and out but take service seriously, and were very attentive. Ask for their recommendations, you will not only learn something but you will have a super wine.
And one last note!!! On Monday nights, they do 50% off of a selection of wines…I guess I know where I will be next Monday!

Surprising!
FOOD: Very very good! It's overall a wine bar, and the selection o wine is quite impressive! We went for an Italian wine and it was very good and the icing on the cake was the Jura wine at the end! Amazing! Seriously a discovery!
The food is veeeery good, ingredients are excellent, and I can tell it because a lot o them are Italians and having tried similar things in Italy I can say they use very good quality ingredients!
PLACE: Small, I suggest to book. And very very crowded so you can talk but at some time it's quite full of people (an this is a good sing) but it's a bit hard to talk sometimes. Btw I overall think the the design is very modern and very cozy!
PRICE: so that's the only reason why they got 4. Food and place are very good but portions are quite small and the cost might be average in London but still a bit expensive. So for 7 quid u get a toast, that is likely a bruschetta. So the plate itself is not huge, amazing in the taste but it costs a bit....
Overall I would probably go back to taste some new wines!

I reserved the table prior to my visit which is advisable if you're thinking of coming. So after I embarrassed myself when taking my seat ( I knocked the next tables cutlery all over the floor) I was given a wine list and directed to the blackboards in front and behind me for food. I chose a bottle of Riesling, and to accompany that a small cheese board and a small Charcuterie board. The wine list is presented very well, so if you don't know much about wine it's easy to choose which type you want. I was very happy with my choice of wine, I find Riesling so easy to drink, it's refreshing and fruity.
The selection of cheeses and meats was great, each was described when brought to the table. They were served with bread and papadum type crackers. My friend and I adore cheese so we throughly enjoyed every morsel!
This is a great place to come and drink and chat and have a bite to eat. The service was fantastic, our wine was constantly topped up and I even learnt how to pronounce Charcuterie hehe! I highly recommend this place. I will certainly be back. Highly recommend booking a table as this place is quite small and very popular!

I came to this tiny, gem of a place last night with a friend. We stayed for nearly three hours and I loved every minute of it.
On arrival, we were shown to the table and immediately given a bottle of cold water and a five page wine menu to peruse. The wines were separated as per function: for example, to quench, whet and nourish, which made choosing a lot easier. Our highly knowledgable waiter described the wines with passion and French flair. We decided on the Langhe Nebbiolo- an obscure wine neither of us had heard of- and took much pleasure in the deep but balanced flavour. I don't really know wines, but I knew it was good!
Food wise, we started out with a bread basket served with olive oil and then moved on to some more interesting dishes. I thoroughly enjoyed the pigeon breast served with blackened artichokes but was less sure of the fish croquettes, which I found a little too salty.
Because of the size of the place, the atmosphere can't help but be intimate- an air that is helped along by attentive waiters who were always on hand to top up our wine and water.
Remedy would be the perfect spot for a second or third date, or somewhere to take the parents when they're visiting you in town. Either way, I'll be going back.

You know they say the first impression is the last impression - I agree with that most of the times. I was impressed when I walked in to this small but cozy wine bar off the busy streets of London. We made a reservation and our table was ready when we arrived - throughout the evening the service was excellent. Our waiter who was French was very knowledgable about wines so he helped us pick this beautiful bottle of red. Cotes de Bourge - a Bordeaux wine - very smooth, robust and structured. We then ordered smoked duck - one of the best duck dishes I have had - it was also very unique I have never had anything like that before. We ordered a portion of Camembert Cheese as well which was excellent - we were slightly disappointed with the portion so we asked them whether that was a normal portion. Within minutes the manager came with another portion on the house and also explained that they source their cheese from the best regions in France hence the high price. All in all a great evening and I would definitely go back!

I was very pleased to see that The Remedy was one of the bars participating as it had been on my List for some time. It seemed like a good place to kick things off, so after collecting our wristbands from Carnaby Street we took a stroll to Fitzrovia to find it.
It is very unassuming from the outside with a sign that’s barely noticeable. At the same time it sort of looks the part, and therefore stands out from its neighbours.
Inside it is simple and relaxed. A banquette lines one side, or you can choose to sit at the bar, or at a couple of high tables. They have a menu of six or seven meats, the same number of cheeses and just a few other dishes, and before 7pm, little did we know, it’s 50% off food! We decided to get a selection of five charcuterie and five cheeses, which the chef selects for you in order to give you a breadth of tastes, or in the cases of the cheese, a range of strengths.
I know I won’t remember exactly which meats we had but they were all pretty nice, and I was especially taken with the pancetta which had what seemed to be a fennel seed crumb, which really gave it a kick. And to think, I wouldn’t have ordered that one were it up to me.
The cheese selection was superb. They were all cow cheeses apart from one which was ewe’s milk, and most of them were from the same region as they had held a special event with cheeses from that area the week before. The mildest was a creamy but not soft cheese with a layer of ash in the middle, then you progressed through the hard ewe’s milk cheese to a comte, a blue cheese that looked very blue but was pleasingly mellow, up to a cheese so tangy it made my eyes water and my mouth pucker. It was amazing. The bread was served with a very grassy olive oil.
We had five wines to choose from for the London Wine Week £5 deal – a Veneto merlot, a dry Riesling, another red and two rosés. Alison wanted to try the Riesling as she had fond memories of the one time she had a Riesling and liked it. For me, it had to be red wine to go with the cheese. It was quite full-bodied and juicy and soft, and I liked it so much I had another. Alison’s Riesling was as good as she’d hoped, with a sweetness that seemed to come from a fruity background and wasn’t at all cloying like sweeter wines can be. And then she got even more adventurous with a rose before having the merlot I’d had, while it was my turn to have the Riesling.
Our waiter for the evening was perfectly charming, explaining the types of cheese and meats when they arrived, and basically ensuring we felt well looked after. The Remedy doesn’t have quite the same panache as Sager and Wilde but it is a very friendly wine bar, with a neighbourhood feel to it. Something about it, perhaps the light, decor and small veranda almost seemed Mediterranean, making you feel like you’re on holiday when inside. A little gem.
We then stopped into the Newman Street Tavern, a bit of a gastropub in the area for another couple of reds (the £5 whites had sold out) before rounding off the evening with a sherry digestif from the ever lovely Salt Yard.
It is a gem indeed! Food was really tasty and delicious and had a beautiful evening with friends over copious amounts of wine. Service was a bit slow but it was also very very busy! Make sure to book!
We had had the pleasure of dining at The Remedy Wine Bar Shop & Kitchen, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, with warm lighting and comfortable seating. The wine list was extensive, and the owner was very knowledgeable and helpful in selecting the perfect wine to pair with our meals. Speaking of the meals, the food was absolutely delicious. We had the pleasure of trying several dishes, and each one was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was top-notch.
A hidden gem, what a treat! So pleased to have gone, a great vibe. The staff were really friendly, helpful, and accommodating which I enjoyed a lot, thank you ☺️
The choices and drinks and knowledge to decide were ace as well. You can also pick nibbles and food bites as well. The atmosphere was friendly and also not too loud when full, which I feel is always a tick!
Book in advance, I would recommend bar stools as they seem like the best seats 100%.
In terms of getting there Warren Street or Great Portland Street are the best options, very short walk, and both stations have great connections too.
Will be visiting again and looking forward to it.
Solid A***** for this one 🥰

Wound up in this quaint space on a late night with a few friends. The staff was very helpful and recommended two delicious bottles of red that we all loved. I’ll also note that wine list is pretty extensive and they have a great list of oranges I’m excited to come back for. The small plates are also very flavour and were perfect for sharing. Will be back!
Can’t recommend enough. We sat in the bar and had the luxury of getting personalised
advice and care from the superb somerliers.
Started with a German orange wine and followed with a red from Piemonte.
Food was excellent, the anchovies, octopus and lamb ragu are unmissable. We also had the English cheese trio for dessert and it was equally delicious.
Excellent for a date or smaller groups as venue is small which is also why it is special.
Very fairly priced too. Jewel in Fitzrovia.
I had a lovely experience at the Remedy! A perfect way to end a Saturday. The food was beautiful, to look at and to taste! Great to have recommendations of wine to compliment our dishes too! Thank you!
Me and my wife came in from Washington, DC, and while the beer in this city is amazing .. nothing compares to this wine bar. The bar tender Xavier was amazing with giving recommendations on the food selections, the order of them being delivered, and then the WINE selections. This is an authentic place ... we were able to meet the owner Andrea, and seriously, what a treat. Meeting owners of restaurants mean they really are committed to the experience of those present. We had lamb chops, beets salad, olives, fresh baked bread, and amazing cheese. We will return without a doubt. This is a 💎 gem in the busy, rushing, and moving part of London.
Great wine bar with good selection. Food fresh and tasty. Highly recommend the sardines with Gremolata. Service exceptional
Perfect atmosphere, cozy and tasty. Rich wine assortment. And if you don’t know what to order, super nice staff will help you to find the one that meets your tastebuds. Will come here again and again!
A small wine bar with a good selection of wine. Orange wine from Slovakia is available and it’s delicious! Interesting food menu - homemade fresh pasta, fresh zingy salad, padron peppers all well prepared. Elbow to elbow when the place is busy, and gets pretty noisy so not a good place for intimate evenings (or come after 9:30)
Small, dimly lit, intimate, not snobby, some outside seating with great staff. Great wine selection coming from the fine wine harrods associates. The food was equally good the Copa with the white specks and cheese board greatly paired with orange wine from Slovenia. To have the samur and primitivo paired with the Copa was fantastic. Think friends and close ones with great wines .. go out your way to taste these wines
Very charming place with an amazing wine list and staff that will advise you well. The food was really good as well - I would recommend the anchovies with lemon zest and caponata
Has been on my bucket list for a long time. Small and cosy but with lots of character. Has an interesting worth exploring wine list and other intriguing options. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area and even a trip there... I shall return for further exploration and experiences
#LetsGuide
2 years later, after lockdown, and The Remedy is better than ever. Andrea is such a great gentleman and has an amazing set up. Xavier is now on the scene and his wine selections were fun, eclectic and genius. Let me know the next time you drink a vintage sparkling from Wales, cloud chemin from South Africa, Tenerife, Adelaide - we even had a win from France! Bone marrow, sweet breads, panelle, coppa... and yet was all so understated. 👏👏👏
Really delicious food, nice atmosphere and lovely informed staff. Would have been nice to have a little option for something sweet at the end (other than just dessert wine), but all in all a great place
We arrived a little early on our reservation, so the owner took us at the bar, gave us a glass of water and started talking with us. He was very polite and was chitchatting with us. We asked about the restaurant and the history of it, he asked some questions about us, … the owner was the nicest!
5 to 10 minutes later we got our table. The owner came over and explained some of the dishes that were on the menu.
We ordered a bottle of rosé, which we didn’t know yet, and the bottled turned out to be extraordinary!
We ordered some bread, a plate of culatello (kind of Italian ham), a plate of smokey duck and a bowl of tonarelli (handmade pasta).
Next to this we received a free plate of pork belly buns, given to us by the chef.
The food was extremely delicious! One of the best places we’ve ever eaten.
When we come back to London, we will surely visit again!
What a place, what a wine list, and amazing food! One of my favourite items on the table is the bread basket, sooo lovely and the bread handmade even better! Wine? Top of the chart!
