"Quality Wines is a shop, wine bar, and modern European small plates restaurant in Farringdon. All it’s missing is a sleeping bag and we’d be there 24/7. It’s open during the day for lunch, before switching into a candlelit, lardo-on-toast, wine-serving den in the evening. Which means whether you pop in for a pre-matinee snack—they do a £15 express lunch of pasta and wine—or a romantic dinner after three hours of ballet, Quality Wines just makes sense." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
