Corney & Barrow Broadgate Circle

The long, curvaceous shape & elevated grandstand views across Broadgate Circle make this airy, contemporary wine bar one of the most memorable in the Corney & Barrow chain, with the outside seating areas at either end of the bar an added draw in fine weather. The brasserie-style lunch menu offers the likes of a pecorino, truffle & sweet pepper tart followed by a 28-day matured Scottish sirloin steak with bearnaise sauce or Caesar salad with chicken, pancetta & avocado; there’s lighter fare in the evening. The wine list is long & easy to follow: with quirkier choices such as a Spanish Rueda Ganadero 2004 or an Australian Pyramid Hill Verdelho from the Hunter Valley; while bottled beers include Ivanhoe English Pale Ale.
