About

Hidden away in the crypts beneath St Bride’s Church, Humble Grape Fleet Street has built a reputation for exceptional lesser-known wines and simple modern European plates. To find it, step away from the Fleet Street and Ludgate Hill junction and venture down Bride Lane to find St Bride’s Passage. Here, you’ll find Humble Grape Fleet Street in all its glory, serving 400 artisan wines and unfussy dishes made with sustainably sourced British ingredients.

Starting out as a wine importer, Humble Grape has matured into one of London’s favourite wine bars and tasting destinations. Set within the 17th-century vaults designed by Sir Christopher Wren, Humble Grape Fleet Street is an expansive restaurant, where contemporary features like bright teal blue banquettes, suspended modern lighting, and natural wood tables compliment imposing stone archways and exposed brickwork.

Whether as a large group or a date night duo, it’s a convivial setting for lunches, post-work drinks with snacks, as well as lengthy evenings over several glasses of wine. The Humble Grape Fleet Street menu is broadly European and fairly priced, starting (as all wine-friendly menus should) with a selection of nibbles and bread. From here, go for juicy nocellara olives and cheese croquettes, and follow with small plates of glazed pork belly, blistered padron peppers, and cured salmon with caper berries, lemon, and whipped creme fraiche.

Main dishes include grilled chicken salad, courgette fritters and 35-day dry-aged British ribeye but you can also build your own cheese plate with your choice of either three or six cheeses accompanied by seasonal chutney and sourdough. Throughout, you’ll be guided towards the best pairings by a brigade of knowledgeable staff armed with stories and details about each bottle in Humble Grape's stock of sustainable and independent wines. Humble Grape Fleet Street also hosts ever-changing weekday events and offers, all of them wine-related of course!

Menu Highlights

Starters
Baked Camembert - £17.50

Our Baked Camembert is so creamy, it can smooth our a rough Monday.  Choose from: Honey & Hazelnut, Rosemary & Confit Garlic or Chilli Marmalade served with sourdough bread

Main Courses
Cote de Boeuf (for 2 people) - £77.00

A 35-day dry-aged British grass-fed Rib-Eye on the bone. Ideal to share, our Cote de Boeuf is crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. It’s like the cow just gave up halfway through, knowing it couldn’t get any better. Seriously, it’s so good we almost feel bad for the rest of the menu.

Bordeaux Winemaker Dinner

22 Jan 2025

This January we’re welcoming Laurent David from Chateau Edmus for our next Meet the Winemaker Supper Club in Fleet Street. Taking to the spotlight at our Humble Grape wine bar, Laurent has travelled from Bordeaux to treat us to an exciting event celebrating his esteemed wine.

Bordeaux has made a lasting impact on the world of wine, from being the birthplace of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to shaping generations of winemakers. Known for its red wines, which make up 90% of production, Bordeaux is famous for its unique blends, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, often referred to as "Claret" in the UK. British investors and wine lovers played a pivotal role in Bordeaux’s success, driving demand and helping it evolve into a global symbol of prestige, especially with its super-premium wines. Today, Bordeaux wines are a must-have during winter and the holiday season.

After a welcome drink, Laurent and our wine team will be your guide throughout the 3.5-hour session, so you can sip, swirl, and savour each drop of his family wine as she unveils the hidden stories and secret techniques behind four iconic bottles.

Our wines will be paired perfectly with six French dishes from our talented Executive Chef.

Should Not Be So Humble
This is a very good restaurant hidden down St Bride's Passage and is therefore easy to miss. This is a pity, for the western end of the City is somewhat lacking in good place to eat and the food at The Humble Grape is excellent. I strongly recommend their wonderful and flavourful duck rillettes as a starter and one of their very, very good fish dishes as a main Service is attentive and friendly and one can be very relaxed. The prices are keen and I find it one of the best values for money anywhere in the City, of which I have been a denizen for nearly forty years. They have interesting wines for sale and if you know your wines you can find some excellent ones at good prices. In winter, I invariably buy my port there even if it means lugging it back home from the City. The only thing that I would fault is the atmosphere. The decor and ambiance are basic and even drab. I feel that something equally simple yet more cozy could be done in the context of this rather interesting site. A more congenial atmosphere may also serve to attract more people as the place is never as full as it truly deserves to be. I wish it success and shall continue to be a frequent visitor.
