On the spur of the moment stopped in for a late Friday lunch at Social Wine & Tapas<\/a>. This is such a good place to eat. The food is superb: creative, flavoursome and comforting. And the wine list is exceptional, especially if you are of the brave inclination, prepared to give wines with a bit of natural character a try.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0357\"<\/p>\n

Jamon, manchego toastie, quail\u2019s eggs. Comfort food of the highest order.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0362\"<\/p>\n

Chargrilled carrots, burnt aubergine, miso, walnut pesto. Who could have thought carrots would taste so good? The burnt aubergine is a perfect accompaniment.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0358\"<\/p>\n

Slow-cooked egg, ox cheek dashi, creamed potato, black pudding. This is just so delicious. Savoury heaven.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0360\"<\/p>\n

Braised octopus, roast chorizo piperade. A nice combination; The coriander seedlings really brought it to life.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0359\"<\/p>\n

And to drink: something from the lower reaches of the wine list. \u00a332, but still utterly delicious.<\/p>\n

Domaine de Belle Vue Granit 2014 Muscadet, Loire, France
\n<\/strong>This really captures the character of the Melon grape perfectly (and, yes, it does have character when it’s done well). Lovely fresh lemon and grapefruit flavours with a subtle nuttiness, a hint of green apple and tingly acidity. Pure with freshness but also a lovely mouthfeel – so drinkable. 90\/100\u00a0
