What: Bottles
In a nutshell: Chelsea wine bar
Summing it all up: Wine bar Bottles goes west. There will still be the selection of Italian dishes matched with their large wine selection - and a hidden private dining room too.
The low-down
After launching in Spitalfields, wine bar Bottles is moving to the other side of town for their next wine bar. The Chelsea opening will have a more modern look than its sibling, but will still concentrate on matching wine with Italian small plates.
From the wine perspective, they say they will focus on "ever-changing range of styles, regions and indigenous grapes while also focusing on micro-producers in natural, biodynamic and organic wines" with sommeliers on hand to guide you through the selections. There will be fine wines in the cellar that focus on Italy and a cocktail selection too.
And alongside all that wine, there's the food, run by Antonio Minuti and Edoardo Valeriani in the kitchen. There will be a combination of tapas dishes moving onto larger pasta, seafood and meat plates. Here's a taster:
- Arancino ‘Beccafico’, wild fennel, seafood
- Black cod ‘Magnum’, nocellara olives
- Sicilian chorizo hot dog, sauerkraut, mint mayo
- Paccheri, langoustine, Eryngii mushrooms, smoked butter
- Espresso-glazed ribeye steak
- Viennese brioche, Malvasia creme anglais, candied capers
And on top of all that - there's a secret dining room inside the kitchen downstairs that can be hired out for private events.
