Diogenes The Dog

This is simply a very chilled and unpretentious place to get a small, but carefully curated, selection of really good and interesting wines, a few great cheeses and enough quality meats and other nibbles to see you through a very comfortable and relaxed time. More importantly, the folks providing these things (which are, after all, just things that if delivered badly, are totally worthless) are great. If you need help or want to know more about what they’re serving and actually ask them then you’ll discover they’re extremely knowledgeable with no showing off, and will guide you to the thing you need that fits your tastes perfectly. It appears they really do want you to be as comfortable as possible while getting exactly what you’re after, whatever your tastes. Basically I’ve just outlined the blueprint for any establishment to stand a chance of succeeding. They’re doing it.

Really great evening partaking in their wine tasting menu. Sommelier Yiannis and Alex are extremely knowledgeable, engaging in their explanations and, most importantly, delightfully fun to be around. Small plates are delicious and satisfying and the array or the wines from different countries, terrain and method was very eye opening for me. Highly recommended.
