Le Bar A Vin is a modern French wine bar and restaurant at 72 Tranquil Vale in Blackheath Village. Inspired by the relaxed bars à vin of Paris, it is designed for anything from a quick glass before dinner to a longer evening of food and wine.
More than one hundred wines form the heart of the drinks list, with French bottles joined by selections from other established wine regions. Many are offered by the glass or carafe as well as by the bottle, which makes it easier to explore several styles during a visit.
Food ranges from French cheese and charcuterie boards to substantial classics such as beef bourguignon and duck confit. The sharing plates suit informal grazing, while the cooked dishes make the venue a credible dinner destination rather than simply a place for drinks.
A function room gives groups a separate setting for private occasions, and the central Blackheath location works well for an evening out in the village. The combination of familiar French cooking, carefully chosen wine and an unhurried atmosphere is the defining appeal.
Address: 72 Tranquil Vale, Blackheath, London SE3 0BN, England
