A truly inspirational wine destination venue that has a relaxed vibe but with quality at its heart. We believe that just as wine evolves in the bottle, so should our offering, and that is reflected in our ever-changing wine list. We are a place that will evolve and bring new flavours and experiences to the heart of Cambridge. We don’t aim to have the largest wine list, but rather focus on interesting and niche wines, fine and rare bottles, and for those hard to find gems and with our flat rate corkage, the value for money is exceptional.Similarly our small menu hopes to bring quality at a reasonable price, so a night of food and wine matching can be a regular treat.Our seasoned sommeliers are there to guide your journey at each turn so whether it is an intimate evening for two, or a private event for 20+ in our cellar, it should be an experience to remember. Please note that our kitchen closes at 9pm and that we are primarily a Wine Bar.

    The restaurant is immaculate as are the staff, a very pleasant warm welcome which was followed by a brief explanation of the menus available. We had ample time to read the menus and make our choice of drinks and food.. the waiters are trained to remember your order without adding it to a device or pad and pen ! Our order was perfect, food was delicious and cooked fresh.. Can highly recommend the saucy eggs and steak frites. Will definitely be back.
