About

Look Left by YUGU is a Korean cafe by day, and wine and small plates bar by night, with a focus on relaxed, intimate dining, interesting wines and tasty sharing dishes.

The setting includes a wooden counter or bar area, with soft lighting and minimalistic décor. A candlelit table and a single tulip in a vase suggest a simple yet thoughtful aesthetic. This format seems well-suited to solo diners, pairs, or small groups looking for a low-key wine experience rather than a full dining event.

The menu centres on a selection of wines paired with small plates. By day, it's a popular spot for its signature matcha drinks, from a strawberry matcha latte to a mugwort latte. To eat, expect Nordic-style sourdough breakfast plates and Korean-inspired egg mayo sandwiches, plus a matcha tiramisu that's become a popular order with regulars. 

By night, attention turns to wines and small plates. Think cheeses, crackers, nuts, and chutney, plus inventive bites, such as toasts topped with house-smoked mussels, trout pâté, yugu-daikon pickles, and perilla pesto. Enjoy alongside the concise but explorative wine list, perfect for relaxed catch-ups with friends or date nights.
