107 Wine Bar is a charming wine bar and neighbourhood restaurant in Clapton. Operating since 2023, this intimate venue occupies the former site of the beloved P. Franco wine bar, doubling as a bottle shop and a cosy dining establishment.
Interiors here feature rustic shelving stacked with natural and organic wines, many sourced directly from European growers. Guests are encouraged to explore the selection with guidance from knowledgeable staff, and a rotating list of wines by the glass is available daily. A key feature of this unique venue is its single sharing table surrounded by a handful of stools, creating the atmosphere of an open-door dinner party. Diners can expect a cosy, candlelit environment that encourages lingering conversations and creates a convivial atmosphere that draws both locals and visitors seeking an authentic neighbourhood dining experience.
107 Wine Bar specialises in French-influenced small plates cuisine with a focus on seasonal, local, and often organic ingredients. The menu changes weekly and is displayed on a chalkboard, featuring inventive dishes that fall under the category of ‘a bit of this and a bit of that.’ Signature offerings include oysters topped with fermented brassicas, fried chicken wings stuffed with rich ceps paste, lamb sweetbreads paired with tangy cooked plums, and expertly deep-fried items such as prawn heads with aioli and skate schnitzel with herb sauce.
The wine selection is a standout feature, with at least 30% of the offering consisting of natural wines. The establishment prides itself on having one of London's finest wine lists, featuring fizzy and funky selections that pair beautifully with the creative small plates. The knowledgeable staff are happy to guide customers through the wine selection, making it accessible even for those with limited wine knowledge.
