    Unique flavours you’ll struggle to find elsewhere in London. An amazing little find tucked away in the regeneration of London Docks at Wapping.

    We did the Champagne tasting which was really fun - the man was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed it. We also had some food afterwards which was really nice. Bit out of the way as a venue but would definitely go back.

    I went here for a business lunch last week and it was perfect. We sat outside, such lovely surroundings with water fountains nearby. The wine was excellent - and as expected, a great list of both wine and champagne. Delicious food - the goats cheese tart was particularly wonderful! Great service and really good value. I will definitely return - I think this would also be a great place for drinks after work.

    Champagne Route is a hidden treasure. Food is always amazing and the wine and Champagne list second to none. The owner is always on hand to ensure the perfect experience. We moved out of the area recently and still make an effort to go there as much as possible. Highly recommend

    Pre-theatre so quieter than usual, but very good food and outstanding service. The other customers as we were leaving were a large party, but there was no hurry to move us on and we did not feel at all in the way.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our first experience here. It's a relatively small, casual venue, which we liked. Service was outstanding, food delicious and an extensive drinks menu with plenty of champagne choices if that's what you are after. We just had a nice bottle of wine, and prices were very reasonable. Two of us were celebrating birthdays and they went out of their way to make it special. Really glad we discovered this venue. As it's quite small, would advise to book a table in advance. Would definitely go back!

    After I left I checked the bill again and realised that they had added 25% service charge!! Either that’s a mistake, which is bad enough, or it’s deceptive. Either way a miss.

    Slightly disappointing even though the service was good. The burgers were fairly standard, and the chips undercooked. Scallops were very good, but squid and chorizo starter whilst generous, was more stir fried than grilled. Perhaps more of a place to drink than eat (impressive wine list).

    What a wonderful restaurant and bar! The owner is congenial and informative about champagnes (and wines) with many choices for tasting throughout a meal. And the chef is outstanding!! every item we ordered (some shared) was presented in Michelin standard and taste. The location is a neighborhood that appears to be new with young professionals. It is worth the short walk from London Tower!

    Champagne Route was excellent as always. The choice of bubbles is outstanding and the recommendations are always welcomed and very good. The food was lovely. Well presented and tasty - and good value too. We visited Saturday lunchtime and it wasn't packed although tables were booked from late afternoon. Definitely recommend Champagne Route, we'll worth a visit.
