Nestled in a railway arch in Bethnal Green, Sager + Wilde offers a cozy vibe with an impressive wine selection and Italian-inspired small plates, ideal for casual hangouts or romantic evenings.
"Maximum capacity: 25 Minimum spend: from £1500 for the whole evening. There are two sittings that don’t have any minimum spend. You’ve been put in charge of your sister's engagement party and the only direction you got from her was a lot of head nodding and her repeating “nice but casual” over and over again. Go ahead and book the private dining area at Sager + Wilde. This Bethnal Green railway arch spot is romantic but not overly fussy, has good wine but isn’t too expensive, and serves simple Italian food. The cool, candlelit upper mezzanine dining area is a proper charmer." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"This wine bar has an Italian-inspired menu of pasta, small plates, and sharing plates, and will be offering 50% off up to £10 all night Monday to Wednesday, and from 4-6.30pm, Thursdays to Sundays throughout October." - rianne shlebak
"There’s a friendly buzz to this neighbourhood restaurant set beneath a railway arch. Well-priced Mediterranean dishes have an eye-catching modern style and brim with flavour. The wine list is thoughtfully chosen, mark-ups are modest and the bright, friendly service fits the tone of the place perfectly." - Michelin Inspector
"Sager + Wilde is a wine bar and restaurant a few minutes from Bethnal Green station. Housed in an old railway arch, there’s a cosy ambience courtesy of flickering candles, a secluded mezzanine upstairs, and alfresco dining out on the terrace. The Italian food’s good, and so is the wine—even if it’s the special-ish bottle you were gifted last Christmas—and the pasta dishes are a highlight. Head here for a relaxed session with friends fuelled by your favourite bottles from home. The corkage fee is £10 on Mondays and £20 for the rest of the week." - Jake Oliver, Sinead Cranna
"Sager + Wilde’s outpost on Paradise Row ticks all the boxes you’d expect of an east London restaurant. It’s housed in an old railway arch, with artfully distressed furniture, small plates of French and Italian-leaning food, and a nice list of wines by the bottle or glass. Come summer, the spacious terrace is excellent to lounge around on with a group of mates." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver
