Musée

Diners who have tried several wines by the glass describe enjoying the distinct character of each. With sparkling, white and red wines on offer, choosing a favourite is part of the start of a meal at Wine bar Musée.

The food ranges from small bites to more substantial dishes. Jamón Serrano aged for 30 months has drawn praise from diners who ordered it, and makes a fitting accompaniment to a first glass alongside a cheese platter. One menu pairs baked scamorza with bread; a diner remarked on the bread’s pleasantly chewy texture and how well it went with the cheese. These are good choices for a leisurely drink with something to nibble.

For a more meal-like option, there are pastas such as peperoncino with sudachi citrus and arrabbiata with fresh tomato and sansho pepper. One diner also recalled enjoying a truffle-flavoured shrimp taro dish. The menu offers plenty to consider when choosing a wine to go with your food.

Visitors have said that the selection includes wines they might not usually choose, available by the glass as well as by the bottle. Some have enjoyed looking out over the garden while asking for recommendations and choosing wines one glass at a time. It can suit an evening focused on wine as well as one that includes a meal.
