The Remedy Wine Bar and Restaurant (Fitzrovia)

• I was very pleased to see that The Remedy was one of the bars participating as it had been on my List for some time
• It is very unassuming from the outside with a sign that&rsquo
• T remember exactly which meats we had but they were all pretty nice
• I was especially taken with the pancetta which had what seemed to be a fennel seed crumb
• T have ordered that one were it up to me
• Most of them were from the same region as they had held a special event with cheeses from that area the week before
• The mildest was a creamy but not soft cheese with a layer of ash in the middle
• A blue cheese that looked very blue but was pleasingly mellow
• The bread was served with a very grassy olive oil
• It had to be red wine to go with the cheese
• S Riesling was as good as she&rsquo
• Then she got even more adventurous with a rose before having the merlot I&rsquo
• Our waiter for the evening was perfectly charming
• T have quite the same panache as Sager and Wilde but it is a very friendly wine bar
• 5 whites had sold out) before rounding off the evening with a sherry digestif from the ever lovely Salt Yard
• You know they say the first impression is the last impression I agree with that most of the times
• We made a reservation and our table was ready when we arrived throughout the evening the service was excellent
• Our waiter who was French was very knowledgable about wines so he helped us pick this beautiful bottle of red
• We then ordered smoked duck one of the best duck dishes I have had it was also very unique I have never had anything like that before
• We ordered a portion of Camembert Cheese as well which was excellent we were slightly disappointed with the portion so we asked them whether that was a normal portion
• Within minutes the manager came with another portion on the house and also explained that they source their cheese from the best regions in France hence the high price
• Our highly knowledgable waiter described the wines with passion and French flair
• We started out with a bread basket served with olive oil and then moved on to some more interesting dishes
• I thoroughly enjoyed the pigeon breast served with blackened artichokes but was less sure of the fish croquettes
• The atmosphere can't help but be intimate an air that is helped along by attentive waiters who were always on hand to top up our wine and water
• I reserved the table prior to my visit which is advisable if you're thinking of coming
• So after I embarrassed myself when taking my seat ( I knocked the next tables cutlery all over the floor) I was given a wine list and directed to the blackboards in front and behind me for food
• The wine list is presented very well
• I was very happy with my choice of wine
• They were served with bread and papadum type crackers
• Highly recommend booking a table as The Remedy Wine Bar and Restaurant (Fitzrovia) is quite small and very popular
• The selection o wine is quite impressive
• We went for an Italian wine and it was very good and the icing on the cake was the Jura wine at the end
• I can tell it because a lot o them are Italians and having tried similar things in Italy I can say they use very good quality ingredients
• Very very crowded so you can talk but at some time it's quite full of people (an this is a good sing) but it's a bit hard to talk sometimes
• Btw I overall think the the design is very modern and very cozy
• Food and place are very good but portions are quite small and the cost might be average in London but still a bit expensive
• So capacity is probably around 30 patrons at a time
• The first thing you notice is the exposed brick walls and large black chalkboards that display food and drink options
• The first sommelier that helped us gave us the wine menu and pointed our attention to the large chalkboards and gave us a run down of what was on that evening
• The wine list is spectacular
• They have very funny descriptive captions Rose was described as &lsquo
• The cheese selection was hands down amazing
• I had to photograph the bottle to remember it because that is a mouthful
• He was totally right it was very special
• Providing space for a romantic meal or a cozy glass of red with your family or friends
• Make sure to book ahead though as the bar is petite and very popular
• The Remedy Wine Bar is the brainchild of two entrepreneurial wine geeks
• Their wine is sourced from independent wineries
• More time and effort is spent on sourcing the best wines from smaller producers
• The dinky restaurant was full of wine lovers
• Yes because they are the biggest producer of Malbec
• 28 and an enjoyable choice with slight tannings and a smooth finish
• These large green and fresh Sicilian olives were buttery and meaty
• The five meats were from different parts of the pig and were all very delicate
• My favourite was definitely Coppa a portion of air dried meat from the pig&rsquo
• From beginning to end everything was brilliantly charming
• Our server Danny and also restaurant manager was a great guy
• Remedy's space is small and intimate
• Upon entering we were seated by one of the two staff present and were promptly brought water and carefully explained the food and wine specials
• The extensive wine menu is divided by colours which vary from your traditional red to orange
• After a considerable amount of deliberation we opted for a Chilean bottle of red along with a cheese and a cold cut platter
• The waiter was very well informed on both and was able to carefully detail where each cheese and ham had been sourced from and the sorts of tastes to expect
• Remedy has managed to pair great wines with a selection of great quality food and a charming ambience and I would highly recommend it to any wine fans out there
• The atmosphere is relaxed and quite
• I loved the range of wine they have and the amazing happy hour with 2 pound for each oyster
