The great thing though is that despite all that, the kitchen still manages to produce the same amazing food. £85 for two in the new restaurant. Terroirs Wine Bar is a modern and stylish venue which has over 25 different wines to choose from. To accompany your drinks, there is a delightful selection of snacks and meals from Britain, Italy, France and the Mediterranean. The philosophy of Terroirs is simple: 'Great food and great wine sourced with an eager eye for provenance.' What's even better is that they mean it and act upon it.
