  • Great for fine wines

  • Neighbourhood gem
Our beliefs are simple - in a world full of so much terrific food and wine, why settle for a slab of quiche and a glass of boring plonk? Our food is innovative, fresh and tasty... and available at all hours. The wine list speaks for itself - "Legendary for its iconoclastic notes. It doesn"t necessarily tell you what the wine tastes like - you have to make your mind up. It's there to provoke interest", says Harpers, the wine trade magazine. As Barossa wine making supremo John Glaetzer puts it so succinctly, "Don, this is not just a wine list - it's a book". And a readable one at that!

    Great wine bar and restaurant, step off the busy street in Leicester Square into a more tranquil environment that is very conducive to a romantic dinner or catch up with friends, great atmosphere, great food and great service, we has the Ox Cheek that was cooked to perfection, a good few glasses of wine and the cheese and biscuits to finish, all excellent. Definitely book in advance they have to turn a lot of walk ins away!

    We have been going to C&B for many years, the quality of food, wine and service has always been great. We introduced some friends to the C&B and they were impressed and thought the C&B was a hidden gem.
