Kemptown’s newest spot, The Vine House, opens on Friday 18th June and the bar, restaurant and bottle shop is one to have firmly on your radar.
With serious wine pedigree behind it from 9 Vines’ Marc Wise and Tim Hall, plus a partnership with Wild Flor in the kitchen, it’s bringing together exceptional bottles and clever seasonal cooking under one very stylish roof.
Inside, a sage-green tiled bar, a light-filled space, and art available to buy create a relaxed elegant space, while the unusually large south-facing garden (where they’ve even planted some Rathfinny Chardonnay vines) is a gorgeous spot for a sundowner.
It’s also a bottle shop stocked with around 400 wines (and a library ladder) and a self-service wine machine pouring unusual bottles from as little as £2 a glass. And it’s dog-friendly.
And the food? With Wild Flor at the helm, we had high expectations and can confirm the food is every bit as good we’d hoped. The stuffed piquillo peppers and rhubarb crumble tart were particular standouts when we visited for the pre-launch. Safe to say, this is shaping up to be one of the summer’s go-to spots.
From Fri 19th June; 5pm
