Nicolas - Tower Hamlets

Really good Croque Monsieur x2 plus 4 glasses of average Cabernet S. was £66 the wine used to be listed by the bottle but noticed now listed by glass didn't realise large glass of wine would be £11.00!!!!

I travel down to London often for afternoon management meetings at HSBC, and usually have to squeeze past the crowds on the move at lunchtime in the Canada Square Mall (folk are often queuing for takeaways). I know exactly where I'm going to Nicolas Wine Bar, because it's tucked away from the noise, its layout is simple but elegant (chic), and the staff are equally effortless in the way they handle restaurant goers. Part of me doesn't want to say this, because I'd rather keep the secret, but too late now...

I was there with a few colleagues after work. We ordered the day's special which was a generous portion of lentils and sausages with paring wine. The place was busy but we felt looked after as we asked for more stools and more wine. A true corner of Europe (what I mean is proper service and outstanding food and wines which is so rare in hight street restaurant chains)

Solo quaffing of cheese and wine, a good place of refuge when there are train delays, perfectly comfortable for a solo female

Great service, as always. Fantastic selection of wine and a really knowledgable team who are happy to recommend
