Bottles in Tower Hamlets

I've been there multiple time in the last months. Lunch is just so consistent, pastas arrive quickly and portion are so generous. Very har to find a better value in the area.

I was very disappointed with my experience. The starter was a tiny portion, about the size of a Scottish egg, and it didn’t taste great at all for £8. My friend had undercooked pasta with raw canned olives, which had no flavor, and we had to ask for parmesan to add some taste. I ordered the Chicken Milanese, which was a dry breaded fried chicken fillet served with rocket and awfull aioli for £14. Unfortunately, it was poorly seasoned, and the salad was drenched in what seemed like oil certainly not olive oil, without any vinegar or balance. To top it off, I was charged £5 for sparkling water, which wasn’t even bottled—just tap water with bubbles added. By the time we considered dessert, we decided to go somewhere else. Safe to say, I won't be returning. A proper chef is definitely needed here.

Poor starter of fennel with too much oil. Main course served warm not hot and very small portion . Apparently no coffee except expresso , never heard of that before . Disappointing

If you want to spend a minimum of £11 for an OK glass of wine or splash out £500 for a bottle of champagne this is the place for you. The pasta was perfectly cooked but the ragu was overly salty for my taste. The salad was excellent and I am told the artichokes were pretty decent. Service was good and the room is pleasant but it’s expensive for what it is. The fact that it’s surrounded by offices filled with bankers and fancy lawyers might explain that.

Make sure you arrive 2 hours before they close as they start closing an hour before the actual time. Got tthere at 10pm to have a glass of wine and buy a couple of bottles.

If you love Italian wines and food, Bottles is a must do when strolling around Old Spitalfields Market in London ! Great selection of wines, tasty food, cosy interior and friendly crew !

A Gem in the City ( Old spitafields market). Delicious food, top notch service and wide wine list, able to please all crowds. We had an amazing pasta with white truffle paired with a delicious nebbiolo. Dont miss it!!

Amazing food and wine pairing. Super friendly staff and cozy vibes. Perfect for a crispy Fall evening out.

We really enjoyed our two course meal at Bottles. We were looking for something a bit different to celebrate the evening before a graduation and although the menu at Bottles isn't large we somehow found something for everyone including one vegetarian and one on the keto diet. Puddings were also great. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the vicinity, maybe the only minus was that it got a bit loud later in the evening. But we found a lot of places were like this in London!

We popped in Mid-Afternoon in the week, was nice and quiet and we were able to enjoy a nice 2 course meal. Fresh ingredients and great flavours. So don't just think this place is a Wine Bar, the food menu is great also. Super nice service and lovely atmosphere, will return

Bottles in Spitalfields Market is a gem of a restaurant that left us with an unforgettable dining experience. From start to finish, the food, service, and atmosphere exceeded our expectations. To begin, we indulged in the Sourdough & Ciauscolo as our starter. The spreadable ciauscolo was a delightful surprise, and we thoroughly enjoyed experiencing it for the first time. It set the tone for a memorable meal ahead. For our vegetarian option, we opted for the Arancini cime di rapa. The dish was bursting with flavour, and the gooey scamorza inside was a delightful touch. Even as meat lovers, we found this vegetarian dish to be incredibly satisfying. The Mazara pink prawns carpaccio was a true work of art. Its elegant presentation and subtle flavours, enhanced by a touch of pink peppercorns, left us wanting more. We simply couldn't get enough of this delectable creation. As for the main course, we decided to share the Onglet steak with fries. The meat was cooked to perfection, showcasing the culinary expertise of the chefs at Bottles. The dish was a true highlight and left us thoroughly impressed. To satisfy our sweet tooth, we indulged in the Tiramisu for dessert. It was so good that one portion wasn't enough, so we ordered two! The Tiramisu was a fitting end to our meal, leaving us with a lingering taste of perfection. The stars of the evening were undoubtedly the wines, expertly recommended by the lovely Stefano, the maitre. We paired our starters with a white Timorasso from Piemonte, which delighted our palates with notes of apricot confit and cooked apples, with a hint of oxidation on the nose. With our main course, we enjoyed a superb Nebbiolo, boasting flavours of red cherries and a subtle touch of anise (Ghemme Paride Chiovini D.O.C.G.). The wine selection at Bottles truly elevated our dining experience. Lastly, we must mention the impeccable service provided by Stefano and the entire staff. Their warmth and attentiveness made us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the evening. Overall, our dining experience at Bottles was exceptional. The creative and delicious dishes, outstanding wine selection, and impeccable service all contributed to an unforgettable evening. Whether you're seeking a memorable dinner or a place to celebrate a special occasion, Bottles is a must-visit in Spitalfields Market.

Great wine bar/restaurant in Spitalfields. Probably the best place on the Market. Amazing wines selection and great Italian food. Great atmosphere and great service. I will definitely be back

Sehr nette Weinbar - schöne Auswahl von internationalen Weinen, Kleinigkeiten zu essen, sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung. Ich komme wieder

I came in with no expectations. The wines were stunning and the charcuterie was absolutely wonderful. Cheese plates were also incredible. Just what you are looking for -- fresh, well-balanced, unique flavours. Great service and nice ambiance. I'll certainly return on my next trip to London!

Really great place to have good wine and good small plates of food. It was the first time we didn’t get kicked off of our 2 hour reservation, we ended up staying 4 hours and the staff were happy for us to stay on. Thank you for the service, I’ll be back, because I’m a local and I never know where to grab a good glass of wine!

Stopped in by chance . Great food and service cans wine selection. Also in a great spot to people watch. Will definitely return when back in London

We went to Bottles the first evening we arrived in London and loved the atmosphere, the food and the service of this restaurant. Our waiter Alberto suggested the best wine and took really good care of us! An amazing experience!!

I would like to take exception with the below reviewer, who rated the size of a cheese slice with a lighter, having evidently eaten the whole plate. The cheeseboard was absolutely delicious, filling and beautifully presented, as was the rest of the charcuterie. Unfortunately the wine was universally undrinkable, and very expensive, possibly an issue for a wine bar. Nice staff though.
