With this much butter, the pate chaud - ground pork, mushrooms, and vermicelli noodles encased in flaky crust - is guaranteed to be good, but it's more than just rich. The sauce that surrounds it provides a balancing sweetness, and you'll want to use every bit of the umami-rich pie to swipe it up.
By morning, Aperitivo operates as a café, serving espresso drinks and teas, along with pastries from Paloma Bakery. There are patisserie favorites like pain au chocolat and a decadent pistachio pain suisse, but also breakfast options that skew nourishing without being joyless, like steel-cut oats with seasonal fruit and croissants topped with smoked salmon, avocado and arugula. Midday tweaks the mood slightly, turning Aperitivo into a casual lunch stop with salads, soups and sandwiches.

Laura and the team have transformed the upstairs area into an intimate and relaxed space, with dimmed lighting, low ceiling and long centre bar topped with a few of the tapas dishes on the menu. You have a front row view of the chef knocking up the pinxtos from the bar, which is always helpful when deciding what to have next.
While Courtyard Wine Cellars may have only opened in May 2025, visitors could be forgiven for thinking it is a longstanding fixture of the Covent Garden marketplace. Set across seven vaulted, arched cellars dating back to the 1830s, it is discovered by descending the stairs into the central atrium of the market. These brick-lined underground spaces were initially built to provide cool, stable conditions for the fruit, vegetable, and flower stalls that once made this London's central produce market.
"Every decision we made about this place traces back to what we think the narrative of a wine bar is," Sinzer says. "To me, a wine bar has a rail. It doesn't take reservations," he explains. "You walk in the door, and we lean over the bar and let you know how long it's going to be for a seat, and then ask you what you want to drink."
In voting La Loulou the best wine bar in the East Bay, Nosh readers noted the carefully curated wine selection, the bright and fun ambiance, and ... the bathroom?The loo at La Loulou is completely covered in disco ball material with disco balls hanging from the ceiling and a neon sign reading "you look good" above the mirror, putting a punctuation mark on the Piedmont Avenue wine bar's welcoming, playful style.
A longtime Los Angeles restaurant veteran debuted Studio City's newest Spanish restaurant and wine bar this fall. General manager of Laurel Canyon's Pace, Che Peña, opened Unidos Restaurant and Wine Bar in late September. Unidos's menu is based on Peña's time living in Spain, showcasing regional flavors from Valencia, Sevilla, San Sebastian, and Barcelona, and beyond, with plenty of wine to match.
Tucked away in a Craftsman bungalow in Chinatown, Baby Bistro is an unassuming wine bar that rewards a go-with-the-flow attitude. The menu is intentionally tiny (typically just six dishes and two specials) and frequently changes to highlight seasonal ingredients, making it feel more like a DIY tasting menu and less like a random collection of bar snacks. The move: Order one of everything if you're dining with one person, two of everything if you're a four-top.
And they're not going too far away to do it Alex Young and George de Vos have got a pair of winners in wine bar Goodbye Horses and ice cream parlour The Dreamery, both in De Beauvoir. Now the pair are expanding again with new wine bar and shop Stable Wines, opening a few streets away just off Essex Road in December.
Humble Grape, Bow Lane - the seventh location for the wine bar and importer - will launch in the Norman arches of St Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside this November. Better known as the Church of the Bow Bells, the church dates back to 1080, with the current building the work of Sir Christopher Wren, who rebuilt the church following the Great Fire of London in 1666.
Chambers in Tribeca is a place to rub elbows with sommeliers from all over the city and people who regularly make seven-figure deals-all while admiring magnum bottles of green and yellow Chartreuse on the shelf. At this wine bar, a meal starts with She Wolf sourdough, but could go in any seasonal direction after that: squid rings with olives and sunchokes, or a roast chicken with spinach and sherry.
