Found in the heart of Fitzrovia, July is a wine bar opening on London's Charlotte Street.
A fresh new haunt led by Solynka Dumas and Julian Oschman’s, this Alsatian restaurant and wine bar is one you’ll want to add to your must-visit list. The kitchen is headed by Holly Hayes, previously of 40 Maltby Street, and offers all day dining focusing on hearty and homely dishes that are inspired by those that the owners remember eating in their home countries of France and Germany.
If you plan on visiting in the morning, you can enjoy a selection of coffee and pastries, before selecting from a weekly changing lunch menu come midday. At that time of day, the restaurant will offer well-crafted sandwiches filled with the likes of roast beef with horseradish creme fraiche and watercress, along with delicious soups. In the evening, the menu will feature a great selection of small plates that are there to celebrate the season's best offerings. Expect to find dishes of lamb hearts with white asparagus and hollandaise along with lemon sole paired with clams and leeks. On Saturday, lunch is a feasting special of whole roast Fosse Meadows chicken with a homemade mayonnaise – a dish you’ll love to share across the table with your loved ones.
Honey Spencer is the restaurant's sommelier, who has worked on the excellent wine list, choosing a selection of low-intervention wines from small producers that are found across Europe.
