Vinoteca Soho - bar review

The buzz: the third branch of these snazzy wine bars lands in Soho with more than 300 wines on the list and delicious pan-European food on the menu.

The deal: a wonderfully bustling bar/shop — all exposed brick, vintage posters and chalkboards — where the waiters know and love their wine. They even bottle several of their wines on site making many options very cheap.

Good for: post-work drinks and dates — the cheese and meat plates mean you can avoid the “to dinner or not to dinner” part.

Order: prosecco from the tap or ask for the Brazilian red — we liked it so much we bought a bottle. Don’t leave without trying the sobrasada — chorizo and olive oil spread on bread. Wonderful.

By the way: you can’t book tables at the downstairs bar.
