Cuisine Good Food Guide Selection

Our verdict

Climb the 27 steps to the dining room for a beautifully constructed meal that is seasonal. Casual ambience and flawless service, with every plate enhancing the excellent wine selection. Sardine escabeche with radish and pine nut or butternut veloute to start followed by seasonal risotto, a vegetable ‘steak’ or venison rump with potato fondant and parsnip purée. Downstairs, a tiny wine bar serves well-suited snacks.

Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
