The list focuses on low intervention wines from both well-renowned domaines and exciting artisanal producers, and was awarded Best Short List of the Year Globally in February 2023 by Star Wine List. We serve optional drinks pairings to accompany the experience. The Wine Pairings contain sparkling wine, white wine, red wine, dessert wine and/or digestive.
A Tranquil Setting in the Heart of the City
While many fine dining venues in London can feel formal or intimidating, St Barts is refreshingly relaxed. Located next to St Bartholomew the Great, London’s oldest surviving church, the restaurant blends contemporary interiors with warm wooden tones and natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. The result is a calm, intimate space where guests can focus on the food, the conversation, and the moment.
