About this restaurant

  • Great for fine wines
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Goodbye Horses is a wine bar and restaurant on a leafy street in De Beauvoir Town, London.

We believe wine should be fun, living and as close to zero-zero as possible - meaning nothing added, nothing removed. We have an extensive glass selection and a convivial food menu.

    I largely had a really nice time at dinner but about halfway through the dinner - we had somone new sit next to us at the bar and they brought their dog who was yipping the whole time. Personally, I think your restaurant is too nice (expensive) to allow dogs and put a damper on the rest of the evening.

    Really beautiful space, gorgeous wine, you can also hope across the street to their sister restaurant to get a scoop of ice cream.

    Had such a lovely experience at Goodbye Horses! Sat at the bar as a solo diner - the small plates were perfect. Service was fabulous and so friendly. It was a bit loud inside so won’t be great for everyone, but I loved my experience!

    We feel the space and team lacked warmth. The food wasn’t thoughtful and poorly executed. Many were served cold and without care.

    Portion sizes are way too small for the price. Just go for drinks.

    Goodbye Horses is such a warm and cozy place. The wine selection is excellent, with thoughtful, personalized recommendations that made choosing something we would love easy. The food was fresh, creative and absolutely delicious. Service was attentive and courteous without ever feeling formal or stuffy. A genuinely lovely experience from start to finish.

    We had the most amazing dinner at Goodbye Horses. Every dish was incredible. The service was just as impressive - a special shout out to Matt who went above and beyond. Ambience / space / music was so cozy and intentionally curated.
