El Vino The Olde Wine Shades

Steve Gannon

We met a family member for lunch. This is a lovely back street pub. The service was very good. The food was excellent. It's a real gem. A little history, this pub features the Dickens Room....a small alcove where Charles Dickens did a lot of his writing. You can reserve this room to drink/dine. This was a lovely pub/restaurant, and we will be back on our next trip to London.

Very loud, fantastic customer service, it's a beautiful pub, right next tube station. I wish I got a table outside rather than in, but that is a personal preference. Got a mixture of some small plates, they have both style chips, I obviously went for the fat chips and they were great, breaded prawns weren't greasy, salmon was nice and soft. Definitely go after work vibe or for a lunch.

It is a very cute, but crammed little place with a variety of wines. It is very old English style pub with great décor and architecture , but the doesn't reflect that, it is very European, tapas type of food. But it was delicious, tasty and plentiful. I would recommend this place especially if you have some visitors from abroad. England/European incorporated all in one. If it does get too overcrowded or you cannot find a table, you can always stand outside by a beer barrel.
