This cosy establishment will win discerning foodies over with its extensive wine list, hearty delicious food and unparalleled service. Being a wine bar, Praelum houses over 1,000 bottles, some sold by the glass via the Enomatic and Coravin wine preservation systems.

Go with the recommended three wine flights and have your sommelier explain each label to you as you tuck into the likes of whole baked brie topped with roasted garlic and crushed nuts; scallops served with almond and cognac beurre blanc; tarte flambé of mushrooms, gruyere and onions; and the delicious braised beef cheeks served with root vegetables, forest mushrooms and mash.
