Vinoteca is located just on the very edge of Borough Market, and what a find this place is in my opinion. Albeit the market itself has loads of fantastic street food offerings, Vinoteca was just that something a little extra and removed you from the hustle and bustle over a lunchtime. The thing that stood out for me here was the attentive staff and dare I say the set lunch menu. I’m always slightly concerned ordering off a set menu with less choices , just in case the portions are smaller and not as good quality. Not here, the dishes were executed fantastically and were delicious. This was a fantastic example of if you can do something well then people will appreciate it. I will definitely revisit the next time I’m in London.
We thought this was a really good night out for a special night out. All five guests loved our food ( that’s starters, main and pudding), and for me, the steak was cooked by someone who really knows how to grill. The Chef clearly controls the quality of the food going out of their kitchen and knows how to flavour. Choice of wines excellent. Prosecco delicious. Table service friendly and attentive even though they were packed. We loved the door guy. Borough market in general is a great, lively venue. The only down side was that it was a touch expensive working out at 100 per head ( we did go a bit large ) . I get it, high rents, staffing. The acid test, would we go again - Yes.
A lunch with friends on a Friday afternoon. While the place was quiet - it was lunch time , the service, the food and also the atmosphere were really good. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu and the wine list and the wine list was so interesting and refreshingly different. The chef was flexible so was able to adjust my dish to make it without njduja.
Close to Borough Market you find This Little gem. Great Selektion of wine from different countries. Small plates to pick from. The right place after work to snack and chat.
Lovely experience on a Friday afternoon (Valentine’s Day). Reasonable prices and so many wines to choose from - really tasty as well. Ambience is lovely and the staff are great. Will be back.
Popped in for a glass of wine and nibbles with a friend. Place was packed on a Friday night, but we managed to secure a spot at the bar. In the heart of Borough Market so lots to do and eat. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and food was good. Great wine selection though and the staff are helpful and knowledgeable to support you through the huge lists of all varieties and regions. They also have great wine events so worthwhile popping on their website and planning ahead.
Great service and very interesting wine options. The waiters were very attentive on a very busy night. I asked for s recommendation and they did a great job. Forza Napoli. Grazie. I will definitely visit again.
Only discovered this a few weeks ago and yesterday was our second visit. Loved the food, the service was fantastic, and it was quiet enough for a lunchtime conversation. The steak & chips lunch special (Mon-Sat) is a very good deal at 19 - especially these days when restaurants are getting so expensive.
