    Great venue for a cosy catch up over a very nice bottle of wine plus tapas style European style cooking/dishes. Very friendly and polite service-good food but don’t expect Michelin star cooking it’s simpler fair. Great wine selection

    One of my all time favourites - amazing wine selection and really really really impressive food to go with the list. We ordered their baked camembert, octopus and duck breast, all of which were delicious and we will always come back here for wine evening at Covent Garden.

    The food was very tasty, but small portions for the price. There was an extensive wine list, but prices varied hugely and there wasn't much at the affordable end. Staff seemed nice but were not particularly helpful in navigating their wine menu nor were they very attentive, which was particularly noticeable as the place wasn't busy at the time we went. The restaurant was intimate but not fussy - which was nice for enjoying the meal.

    Great venue and cosy. The wine and service was great and even though we did enjoy the food, both of us thought it was quite overpriced for what we received. Sharing 3 small dishes and having 3 glasses of wine each cost us £105.

    Excellent location near Covent Garden but not in the middle of the crush. Feels to me like being in France (that's a plus in my book), with superb choice of well-kept cheeses and charcuterie among other gastronomic pleasures - and great wines. Welcoming interior. A relatively small number of tables so quite intimate.

    I was disappointed to see a wine bar all about women being run by men! Even though they were very nice! I also thought it was very pricey and the wines by the glass selection was a little disappointing.

    Lady of the GrapesResponded on 14 June 2019Dear Emma, We are for parity and we accept anyone who have the talent and skills to work with us. Our team is composed of men and women. I hope your over all rating is not because of the gender fo our staff. I am Carole Bryon, the owner of the place. I am working there almost every day but sometimes, I also take an evening off ;) that's why you didn't see me the other day. If you come back you will maybe have the chance to be served by myself or one of our female team members!

    The wines we tried weren't that impressive... but the prices were astonishingly high. They must be marking things up 4x or 5x. I didn't think it was good value for money. The bottles were in the £75+ range. I was with a wine expert whose business was distributing fine French wines, and she was no more impressed with it than I was. The service was decent, and the food was acceptable. I won't be back though... there are better-priced, better-value wine-tasting bars and restaurants in London.

    Lady of the GrapesResponded on 12 June 2019Hi, We are sorry that you couldn't find the wine you wanted in our 180 offered ones at the price you expected. Our wines on the list start from £26 and the average price for a bottle is around £45. You can review our wine list on our website and see that our price range is wide and offer a great range of products. Our team is always available to recommend you the best wines in the price and taste range you are looking for.

    I asked for a wine flight with vegan food and they were so pleased to adjust the meal for me although there were no vegan options on the menu. I say put a vegan wine flight on the menu--it will be a huge hit!

    Interesting/great wine, but not the widest variety if you're a nerd. Love the philosophy. Staff is lovely. Only down-side, french restaurant must have much better bread (it was average). And more wines/vintages per region Try it out for sure.

    Folks need to know it is not an English Pub, but more of a trendy wine bar. It is also not quite a restaurant; more tapas. But the wine list is good, as is the service and it was overall a good experience and enough food with an excellent fondue and charcuterie board.

    A bit pricey for a glass of wine, but a lovely little space in the heart of Covent Garden serving lovely French nibbles and tasty plates of food. Disappointed a few things had run out on the night but all cooked fresh to order. Definitely a place to go in pairs as a bit small for groups.

    Some lovely wines and a great choice - £7-11 for a 125ml glass. Food nice, small plates. I’ve had better more creative food at the same price though. Lovely atmosphere - feels like it’s been there forever. Service was non existent though. At 8.30 felt like they were keen to shut up shop rather than take another wine order. We weren’t the only ones to notice or comment on this.

    Very nice small wine bar - very cozy (i.e., you'll be close to your neighbour!) - with great selection of interesting wines and knowledgeable staff. Food was fine - but you'll not go there for the meals. Bit expensive, but then you are in Covent Garden neighbourhood.
