El Vino Fleet Street is a historic wine bar at 47 Fleet Street in the City of London. Long associated with the journalists, lawyers and business people of this famous street, it retains the atmosphere of a traditional London drinking institution. The ground floor bar welcomes casual visits, while a room downstairs provides a more private setting for dinners, tastings and events.
The food menu is designed to complement a glass or bottle of wine. Tapas and seasonal small plates make it easy to share several flavours across the table, with combinations of vegetables, seafood and meat changing through the year. Olives, bread and other bar snacks offer a simple accompaniment for a shorter visit.
Sandwiches and more substantial plates support lunchtime dining, while carefully assembled cheese and charcuterie selections are particularly natural partners for the cellar. Desserts provide a compact sweet finish without drawing attention away from the drinks. The flexible format works for anything from a quick City lunch to a relaxed evening built around several shared courses.
Wine remains the defining feature, with bottles and glasses spanning classic European regions and producers from further afield. Particular attention is given to Spain, Portugal and South America, alongside Champagne, fortified wine, beer and spirits. Guests can drink wine at the bar, buy bottles to take away or join organised tastings that draw on El Vino's long standing knowledge of the subject.
