A brutalist-chic wine drinker’s clubhouse in Haggerston railway arches serving precise, often offal-heavy modern French plates alongside a serious low-intervention bottle list.
Ordering Strategy
The menu is designed for sharing; aim for about 5 dishes for two people, starting with raw items and ending with the larger meat/fish plates. Lean heavily on the sommelier for wine recommendations as the list is vast and obscure.
What to order
Cured Bream with Habanero Oil
Regarded as a standout dish for its thick, sashimi-like texture and a pool of fruity habanero chilli oil that provides a restrained yet surprising heat.
Guinea Fowl with Endive and Orange
A larger dish that borrows from the classics; critics note that the endive and orange garnish works even better with the 'fatty, juicy' guinea fowl thigh.
Gariguette Strawberries and Brown Butter Financier
This dessert features a 'mystery ice cream' made from blackcurrant stalks that surprises diners and showcases the kitchen's inventive edge.
Courgette Tart
Comprised of four pastry puffs, this dish delivers a sweet courgette base note lifted by goat's curd and a savory anchovy fillet.

Good to know
This is also a private members' club for wine storage, though the restaurant is open to the public. The main seating is a large communal table, which can be great for groups but less intimate for dates. It is expensive—expect to pay over £100 per head.
