Les Compagnie Des Vins Surnaturels

Call it CVS and your night becomes considerably easier to pronounce. Sat in Neil’s Yard, it is one of London’s finest wine bars. Thoroughly French, of course: New World wines barely get a sideways glance, while even Italy’s finest is only begrudgingly given a little space on the considerable menu. This doesn't mean there is a lack of choice – to the contrary, it is almost overwhelming, though they have a short by-the-glass list, and the charming staff are both well informed and passionate about what to have. In the summer, sit outdoors, in the winter, cosy up by the bar. Wherever you are, try the mystery wine; if you guess it, you’ll win a bottle. Have food – small plates made to share, and terrifically good – and drink plenty, so the bill doesn’t hit as hard.
