Lechevalier Wine Bar/Shop in Southwark

This place is such a hidden gem around here! They have an amazing selection of cheese and wine, and the service is fantastic. The Vacherousse cheese really stood out—it tastes incredible. I’ll definitely be back again!

Lovely relaxed wine bar. Got a seat easy on a Wednesday. Great service and the Jesus ham and blue cheese are amazing.

Very cool and cosy wine bar - good cheese and chartuioserie options. Great friendly service and nice selection of wines by the glass! Well worth a visit

This is a lovely place! Great wines in a very pleasant environment.

Amazing all around food drinks and service from Christophe and Peter

Brilliant local spot - nice staff good wine good prices

Gorgeous little find, worth it for the price, and the staff are absolutely lovely and so knowledgeable about the menu. Want to return and try the rest of the cheeses and wines!

Poor service and rude staff. Made to feel very uncomfortable here.

I went for wine and cheese tonight with a friend and I have to say, the service was 10/10. Natalie was an absolute angel and genuinely made our night with her awesome recommendations and warm reception. It really did make our night even lovelier. Highly recommend!

Great wine, good cheese and very friendly service. Thoroughly recommend.

I haven't been yet for wine and dine, but we bought bread and cheese quite a few times. The owner is lovely and the cheese is excellent, varieties you would have a hard time finding anywhere else in the area. Cured meats also recommended.

The service was excellent! We got great recommendations on wine and food pairing which was explained with a lot of passion. The cheeses and chutneys went together so well we wanted to get them home. The interior is very simple yet atmospheric. Definitely worth visiting this part of the city.

Wonderful wine list and menu, sit at the bar and allow Christophe and Natalie to expertly guide you through the whole experience. Thank you for the wonderful evening.

Cool venue, where I’d take my girlfriends to hang out for a nice chatty evening. Delicious selections of wines, and my favorite: bubbles, yummielicious nibbles like cheese, salami (french/italien), artisan bread….. lovely service ❤️

Best wine bar in Bermondsey. Fantastic cheese and charcuterie and super friendly service. Great music selection and beautiful sound.

Lovely experience! Natalie was great and helpful! With her impeccable guidance and the bar's exquisite offerings, each visit promises a delightful journey for the senses.

Loved this spot. Wonderful wine, cheese and the bresaola is the best I have ever tasted. But it is the small team there that make it a great night out. Sit at the counter and have a chat!

Don’t be fooled by the unassuming exterior - this is an excellent wine bar! Fantastic wine and a better than expected range of food supported by excellent service. Highly recommend

We popped into this bar for a glass of wine as it has always caught my eye walking past and we weren’t disappointed! Delicious and interesting selection of wine and really lovely and friendly service. Will definitely be back to try some cheese!

I visited on a Sunday evening, about an hour before closing. Finding a nice little wine bar open on a Sunday evening was awesome! I had a really nice experience. The establishment was quiet; I was able to sit at the bar and have a relaxing experience as a solo traveler. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Lovely selection of wines by the glass across the sparking, white, red, and orange categories, with good descriptions of the wines on the menu and a knowledgeable bartender, too. Both wines I tried were outstanding. Note that it’s a limited food menu; there were a couple of hot specials, but the rest of the menu focused on cured meats and cheeses. Worry not, there was plenty of deliciousness to be had! I really enjoyed that the meats and cheeses went beyond some of the typical selections. My culatello (a nice change from prosciutto) and local cheese were delightful, served with delicious bread. A lovely stop. Its neighborhood, Bermondsey, has a lot of cool local restaurants and is worth wandering through before or after your meal/wine at Lechevalier.

We popped in to this wine bar for a quick glass of wine and ended up having four! Natalie was very knowledgeable and friendly. She gave us some excellent recommendations! We chatted to Christophe who was very interesting.

This place is a little piece of heaven for wine enthusiasts and those who appreciate simple yet high-quality tapas. It proves that you don't always need to overcomplicate things to create a fantastic experience. With a unique selection of wines, quality products, and a team of knowledgeable and friendly staff, it delivers in every aspect.

What a find this is, unbelievable selection of wine, cheese and charcuterie and Christoph is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his products, a must visit! Thank you so much Christoph 👌🏼

Lovely charcuterie and wine bar. We went with my 2 year old earlier when it was a little emptier so we could get a seat and table and fit a pram in. Choice of meat cheese and wine was amazing. We all loved the combinations of cheese and chutney/relish accompaniments. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Excellent cheeses and wines! It has a lovely staff and excellent music as well. Really enjoyed our night there! Will be back for sure

An absolute gem of a place. Amazing service and produce on offer. Highly recommended

Wonderful wine bar just down the road! They are very dog friendly and the staff were helpful and friendly. Their wine, cheeses and meats were amazing. Will definitely be back!

Great find, Christophe was friendly and very knowledgeable about the products. I have to say, I've been to a lot of places that serve cheese and charcuterie and am often left underwhelmed, not here, everything was top grade. Thanks for having me

This place is always perfect. My boyfriend and I live close by and it has become a favorite. The staff are lovely and knowledgeable, serving delicious wine and charcuterie - the cost to quality ratio is a rarity in this city and we are oh so grateful each time we visit!!

An absolute gem hidden a stone’s throw from the bustling Bermondsey Street. If you’re looking for some delicious wine, cheese, charcuterie and fresh bread for a reasonable price, this is the place for you! My girlfriend and I visited recently and had a glass of wine, fresh bread, one ham and three cheeses recommended by the owner. Afterwards, we tried a dessert wine which topped off a great experience. In total with service fee, we paid £80 which I didn’t think was too bad!

Love the bar, vibe, food and ofc wine < 3

Cute quiet bar in the middle of London. A very chilled vibe inside, friendly owner and waitress, delicious wine and cheese

En unik opplevelse på alle måter. Veldig hyggelig eier og servitør. Kunnskapsrik, hyggelig, kjempesøt og tok seg god tid til oss. Maten var super, ost og kjøtt som passet perfekt sammen. Vinen vi fikk var knallgod. Oransje vin har vi aldri prøvd før og var definivt en poaitiv overraskelse. Atmosfæren var nydelig og alt i alt en super fin kveld. Anbefales på det varmeste.

Perfection! Warm and welcoming staff, beautiful selection of wines and the most incredible choices of hams and cheese, loved it. Fabulous little date place, catch up with friends, drop in on way home for a quick bite! Can't recommend enough.

Great little spot. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere... And great wines!

Searching around for a wine bar serving lighter options we stumbled upon Lechevalier. Fresh off the plane as weary travellers we found the good old French hospitality nothing but welcoming and relaxing. Great knowledgeable staff paired with stunning food and wine. We just wish this place was around the corner from us!

One of our favorites - highly recommend popping into this cosy independent wine bar. The service alone is worth an evening

Just wonderful, enjoyed everything about this place, top quality produce and service. Would highly recommend venturing a little bit further south of Bermondsey street (which has become something of a tourist trap) to visit. Just make sure you check opening times before heading there.

If you like wine, cheese or charcuterie you must check our this wine bar and shop. Unique selection of wines and friendly/knowledgeable staff. Perfect for any wine lover or those interested in learning more about wines. Great quality produce and variety of cheese/charcuterie/freshly made, local bread.

Lovely wine, cheese and charcuterie bar in Bermondsey. Great vibe and would recommend for anyone wanting something delicious and chill any day of the week

I have now visited a number of times over the years and wanted to update this to reflect the consistently excellent experience I've had with Christophe and his team. Every visit has been a pleasure, whether at peak business or whiling away a quiet afternoon chatting with whoever is behind the bar. This is a standout venue for exploring novel expressions of wines backed up by an unbeatable selection of cured meats and cheeses. The wine range is well selected and diverse, reflecting the owner's interests and passions. There is an emphasis on unconventional takes with a broad range of biodynamic and natural wines. This includes some excellent examples of less commonly seen wines such as malavasia and furmint, as well as very interesting approaches to standards. While the wine list is full of interesting and new concepts I have never felt lost as the staff are friendly and approachable. I have never had a difficult time finding a drink I would enjoy. In conclusion: if you like wine and charcuterie, a must visit.

We let the waiters order for us after having a chat about what we liked. They met our expectations perfectly. 2 cheeses and 2 meats, all amazing. Particularly the Bonnet meat and Munster cheese paired with a bottle of Herbes Folles white wine. The team are really engaged and give plenty of advice and detail about where the food and wine is from. Would definitely recommend

Cool spot, and great mix of wine and cheese & charcuterie. Great spot!

Great selection of interesting wines. Lovely laid back atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming staff and delicious food. I would suggest to also offer a selection of cheeses and charcuterie for a set price (alongside the option to pick out certain cheeses/charcuterie which we really liked). Lovely spot for a small group of friends or date, we'll be back!

Knowing nothing about the place, we stopped in at LeChavalier for a pre-dinner drink. We wanted to find something away from the tourist-dominated establishments near the Tower Bridge. What a fortunate find! If you are interested in a place where you can try different types of wines that you will not find in a restaurant or an off-premise (package) store, this is the place. It’s intimate, bordering on tiny, and the wine list is as eclectic as I have ever seen. The cool part is every wine is hand-selected by the owner, Christophe, and he is engaging as he describes the wines and why he chose it. Christophe was there to greet us when we walked in - it was early for the dinner crowd, so we were the only ones there. He stopped what he was doing and sat with us for what turned out to be an amazing, sometimes wandering discussion about wine, food, and culture. Next time I travel to London I will plan to visit there again and stay for some food (looks amazing!) and tasting things I don’t get to elsewhere.

I was stressed and angry, in search of a place for a short rest in a day of madness. I happened to pass by Lechevalier on my way and was intrigued. I walked in a really nice place, with fine products and very kind people who gave me a welcome moment of relaxation around a glass of tasteful wine and a delicious plate of culatello. A discovery beautiful as unexpected, I’ll come again when I can ! Continuez comme ça patron !

Very much enjoyed and was served excellently during our wine and cheese adventure

Fantastic little bar. We got a selection of cheese and cured meats accompanied by delicious sourdough bread which Christophe packed very nicely to take home as we couldn’t finish all. Very good selection of wines and the most delicious tartiflette I have ever had- made in front of you.

Brilliant blend of charming and intelligent service, organic and minimal intervention wines from fantastic producers each with a story to be told, and a relaxed low key atmosphere in beautifully designed environment.

Best place in Bermondsey. Awesome wine and food with great attention to customer experience. It’s pretty much my default choice.

Had a lovely girls night here, Laetitia’s recommendations on the wines were spot on and you can’t find this quality of products and level of service often in the city. The ambiance of the bar was perfect, we were impressed with the charcuterie selection and would go back time and time again.

Great wine and cheese, lots of variety and amazing quality

No surprise. Absolutely outstanding, wonderful options of wine and cheese for as the eye can see

I was there for a private wine tasting event. Christoph was a fantastic host and guide. Great fun, informative and a lovely space. I'll definitely be back to drink more excellent wines

I contacted Christophe about hosting a private wine tasting for a group of 10 of us and he couldn't have been more obliging! He took us on an entertaining and informative journey through different wine production methods whilst allowing us to sample 4 wines and 3 cheeses. To have the place to ourselves make it extra special and everyone afterwards told me that they really enjoyed themselves. Of course, as a wine bar, this spot is a gem. But if you are looking for a place to have an intimate, special event then I can't recommend Christophe and Lechevalier enough! I cannot wait to return.

Just returned home from Lechevalier and must say it was incredible. Those who worked there were very helpful and knowledgeable; they passionately assisted my partner and in deciding what to order. The food was absolutely delicious (best brie I've had in my life). Very good value for money given the quality of their food, and you can really tell that it's an independent business run by someone who cares about the details. Will definitely be back! Merci!

Delicious wine and cheese, and was delighted to learn a special recipe for pears from the owner - who knew!

If you think that perfection does not exist please visit this place. You will be amased. Absolute paradise. The wine, cheese and chacutterie are best of quality, together with a very best service made our experience unforgetable. We will be back soon. Highly reccomended !!!

Could not recommend more - looking forward to what we will be trying next time Christophe!

What a little brilliant piece of heaven for those who enjoy good wine and simple but quality tapas. Sometimes, you don't need to overcomplicate things and try too hard to reinvent the wheel. This place is fantastic in every sense, offering a unique selection wines, quality products and all in the hands of knowledgeable and friendly members of staff. Want to take something for a date or simply have a great evening? Look no further and delight your partner or friends at Lechevalier.

Christope was very hospitable when we visited for a tasting and we'll definitely return.

Would recommend Lechevalier to everyone! Such a wonderful experience for wine, cheese and meats. Knowledgeable and attentive owner and staff. Great atmosphere and comfortable.

I had such a lovely time last week at Lechevalier. The wine is fantastic, and I really appreciated the atmosphere (it is a very special place), expertise and everyone being so nice and friendly. Highly recommended!

My local for quality cheese and wine. Lots of natural wines and Christophe is always happy to advise. You can take away or stay and have a drink with some snacks at the intimate cute bar. The wine tasting events that happen sometimes are a really fun way to meet new people and sample interesting wines.

A gem in an area packed with good food and drink options. Exceptional wine, cheese and charcuterie for take out and a lovely place to hang out at the bar with charming staff and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

A fantastic wine bar! A great selection of wine that changes regularly and Christophe’s knowledge of wine is second to none! I would always recommend a trip to Le Chevalier!

I cannot say enough great things about Lechevalier. I first moved to the area just before the pandemic and -- as I frequently share -- went into this wine shop to buy bread then left about 30 minutes later with delicious bread, even more delicious wine, new knowledge and new friends. Christophe and his staff are fantastic. I've been back many times and have consistently received warm service, knowledgeable descriptions of literally anything in their shop (which varies substantially, sometimes even day to day!) and a deliciously fun experience. I highly recommend this bar and shop for anything from dinner party preparations to gatherings with friends, dates or even to hang out on your own. Very convenient to London Bridge, Borough and Bermondsey Street -- definitely not one to miss :)

Fantastic place to have nice wines and pair it with cheese and charcuterie. Staff is great, very nice vibe and super friendly. They truly know what they sell so if like me you don't know what you are looking for that time trust them with their recommendations. They also allowed us to try so orange wines which was new for us and some others that they had by the glass as well.

Terrible experience! I was placed on an uncomfortable child-like wooden table and miniature chair, literally 10cm away, from a smelly toilet, that customers were using,every two or three minutes, whilst there were many empty tables! Definitely, one of my worst ‘restaurant’ experiences! Don’t recommend to anybody the appropriately named, ‘Le Chevalier’ - Horse Stables!

One of my favourite places in London. Absolutely fantastic wines, lovely cheeses, great staff. A wonderful, friendly atmosphere.

Big props to the team at Chevalier for their impeccable hospitality this evening. After the longest day I was greeted with the warmest welcome, a stellar recommendation and genuinely on point service. The ever changing natural wine list keeps things interesting - Bordeaux du Paysan is standout right now. This little temple to wine, cheese and charcuterie is a real asset to the neighbourhood.

This has been our local wine shop for some time and we love it here. Christophe and his team are fantastic, really care about the wine they are selling and you can sense the passion in every visit. We love this place both as a wine store and as a bar. The food combinations provided when you come here for drinks are always amazing and very different. The service is excellent and I thoroughly enjoy having long conversations about the wines for sale with Christophe himself. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Great cheese plates an wine selection

Good afternoon, I came into the shop on Saturday afternoon, and I asked for a sulphite free red wine because I have a strong allergy and I have to be really careful with it (the allergy reaction is anaphylaxis shock that could bring me to die rapidly), I would like to say a really big thanks to the manager that he served me really kindly and helpfully, I would like to inform you that the wine didn't create any problem. You can suggest for everyone coming inside and they ask you for sulphite free wine. Thank you very much to help me find a wine to drink. Every time is a really stressful mission to find it. Best Regards Brian

Excellent service. Would be great if they did sharing boards

Amazing wines, Maxim finds the best small vineyards and the wines are so unique, he’s so knowledgeable! Highly recommend!

Delicious wine, great nibbles and lovely staff! 🍷 Will definitely be returning

The best wine shop I’ve ever been to - the advice provided is out of this world

Thank you Christophe. Beautiful selection of delicious cheeses, hams, breads and wines. Great vibes. Will be back soon!

You have to go here! An absolute gem. All of the food and wine is so delicious and the people that work there are so so so lovely. They are so knowledgeable and friendly and gave us so much help choosing from the menu. The best night we’ve had in ages, can’t recommend it more.

This place is a solid 4.8 stars. Good selection of wines and friendly chat and advice.

We’ve walked past hundreds of times but actually went in today. Met the owner who is as charming as they come, the knowledge he has on his products is next to none and the stories we shared made it one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! We shall be back soon and can’t wait to hear more, eat more and taste your exquisite wines!! Merci!!!

Amazing wine and cheese! We will be back :)

Wonderful wine bar recommended by a local friend of mine, truly a hidden gem 💎 Perfect for a night out with friends or a date. The staff were super friendly and helpful, felt like I was in someone's home rather than a restaurant. Bonus, the wine and cheese are absolutely delicious! Highly recommend when in Bermondsey.

Every time we come here the service is incredible and every member of staff goes above and beyond. There is no pretence whatsoever and we are always made to feel welcome. To top it off I learn something new on each visit. Thoughtful and passionate buying produces a diverse and exciting wine list, accompanied by great cheese and charcuterie. I fear the secret is already out, and hope I can still get a table in the future!

I was taken here for my birthday and it was a lovely surprise. The range and quality of the wine and food on offer was excellent and the service was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. We had a great time!

Every time I come it’s really great. A selection of wines from different countries, beautiful cheeses and tasteful cold meats. The portions are generous and everything is presented with expertise. Very good team who knows the products well. Job done!

Lechevalier is a glowing gem on lower Tower Bridge Road. The shop has an array of delectable cheeses, charcuterie, bread, and eclectic wines. The customer service is superb!

Lovely wine, cured meat and vegetarian tartiflette. Wine choice is amazing and staff very knowledgeable and prices very affordable considering produce quality. Really unexpected place on Tower Bridge Rd but a very pleasant surprise.

Fantastic service! Owner seemed so knowledgable about everything to do with wine. Really appreciated the time he took with me to explain through their selection. Even took the time to allow us to taste a few from their bar. Can’t wait to come back with friends to their bar, which looks soooo buzzy on a Friday night!

Wonderful experience at Lechevalier wine bar, it exceeded our expectations, we came out of the bar not only a little tipsy but also much more knowledgeable about wine and different grapes. the staff and owner were incredibly helpful and kind - in short I really recommend this place, price/ wine/ experience quality is excellent.

Great experience! Really enjoyed the wine and cheese on offer. The staff were brilliant!

A friend told me it was a great place for dating. So I went there last week. The owner sensed I was nervous and made it so easy for me to relax. The staff recommended some great wines by the glass, and the cheeses were excellent. Perfect date as well.

Outstanding service and delicious food. This is a true neighbourhood gem. We will be back!

Stopped in for a bottle of wine, but put off by incredibly rude owner. Wine selection broad but overpriced.

The best wine bar south of the river without question - fantastic selection of unusual and interesting wines as well as cheese and charcuterie to accompany it. Christophe shares his wealth of knowledge generously and we always leave having learnt something new. Can't recommend highly enough.

Used to like this place but will never go back because of the owner. He is one of the most rude and disrespectful shop owner I’ve encountered, ever. I went in to buy something and feel good, but actually left feeling bad and hurt because of him. I don't recommend.

Booked a table for Thu 2 Dec. Spent an hour getting there on the tube to find that they had closed with a "see you tomorrow" note taped to the shutter. OK it's a small business and things happens but you would have thought they would have taken the 5 mins or so to email/text customers who had reservations for that night but obviously not. Won't be returning.

A must! Visited Lechevalier regularly, each time I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the chat with the people who work there. Fantastic conversations, everyone shares their passion about quality and care about what they serve. Has a deli part of the store and a eat in section. It's one of those wonderful places you will eat at the bar and then take some extra home from the deli. Great service, delicious food and the wine complements. A must try! Just remember, pop by with 60 to 90 mins free, relax, enjoy. Such places are rare in London. Highly, highly recommend.
