What drink to orderIf you’re the type who prefers a wine list to be short, familiar and easy to navigate, Letra House is probably not for you. But if you like nosing around in a large – and exciting – list that bounces around the globe like a pinball machine, then this is right up your (cobblestoned) alley. There are 50 bottles on the list at any time, each carefully selected by Matt and head sommelier Julie Barbero-Lesage, and you could return every day and barely make a dent in things (not least because the dynamic list changes constantly). On one visit you might dive into a Lebanese cabernet sauvignon, the next you could put away a Barossa muscat-sémillion blend or a Hungarian furmint. To make your decisions a little easier, most bottles are also offered by a glass or half-bottle so you can mix and match. There’s also a solid sake and beer list, and a range of creative cocktails like a house Negroni made with strawberry and basil, and a Spritz that shivers with yuzushu and salted passionfruit.
