Summary
Sommelier Xavier Rousset is behind this “wonderful and quiet little restaurant” and wine bar in Marylebone, “serving delicious, serious food” – mostly inspired by Italy – and “an outstanding Rhône-specialist wine list”. Service is notably “friendly, with a relaxed vibe”.
Summary
A visit to this “very focused” Marylebone wine bar from sommelier Xavier Rousset is “an exciting experience for wine lovers” – “the breadth and array of Rhône vintages allow for an exploration that’s not possible anywhere else”. The “small plates” of bistro food tick the boxes, but can seem “rather mundane” by comparison.
Summary
“Wonderful wines” – from an “amazing list, especially for Rhône Valley”, with many “excellent vintages by the glass” – top the billing at this “classy” (if “slightly cramped”) five-year-old Marylebone wine bar from Xavier Rousset, once the youngest-ever Sommelier of the Year. It’s backed up by “well-produced food with French influences and a modern twist”.
Summary
“Wonderful bistro food” – “surprisingly fancy, but very well executed” – matches up to a notably “interesting and well-priced wine list” at this “delightful little wine bar” in Marylebone from Xavier Rousset, the youngest-ever Sommelier of the Year.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
