Shampers in City of London, Westminster

I have been a customer at Shampers since approx 1978/9 when Don Hewitson was the owner and Simon the manager Have not been there for 2+ years because of the pandemic. From working in London but now retired to South Devon, I was planning to visit and catch up with Simon & Roff in the next two weeks One of the few independent quality wine bars is lost. I have been here with family, for business and with friends Devastated

The end of a golden era. Quite the best wine bar in London as far as I am concerned. Wonderful ambience, sensible and very well prepared food and great wines. When Madeira was added to the wine list then 10/10 I don’t know why it closed. Presumably Simon felt like permanently retiring to Cornwall. My only complaint! If there was a closing down ceremony ( or similar) I didn’t know about it!

Turned up to enjoy good fayre and ambience but sadly it’s closed down, what a bl@@dy shame that one of the last independent wine bars that differentiated itself from the herd is no more. I feel for the team who gave so much to keep it going but were thwarted by this whole Covid situation. Thank you for for good times. Bryan

Dashed here thinking Shampers was the same old, lively Italian it once was - but it isn’t - it’s changed hands and there was very little Italian food on the menu. The girls serving were sweet and obliging. The food was okay. No atmosphere at all - though I’m sure it would liven up later. I wish them well post Covid but it’s not what I expected (the website photos are old ones!).

Since about 1978, Shampers has been my first choice go-to venue in London. In all that time, whether in large gatherings in excess of 25/30 or intimate sojourns of 2, Shampers has never failed to please. The present, post Covid itteration of Shampers fully lived up to expectations for the small party of 7, gathered for lunch, to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. The copious bubbly, wines, new à la carte starters & mains, desserts and attentive service, all amounted to 5 hours of sheer, unforgetable bliss. Other than to thank the Maitre and team, if I were to write any more, it would appear fawning.

I’ve been coming here for years so thought it about time I wrote a review as once again this hidden gem in the middle of the hustle and bustle of central London, gave us another brilliant evening yesterday. Whenever I’m in town I will always make a beeline for drinks and snacks here. It’s never let us down and always accommodates us no matter how busy. It’s a place that lets you escape the hectic chaos of Soho with a bottle or two of wine. Long live Shampers.

A friend and I visited the West End for the first time in six months, and were delighted to find Shampers Wine Bar just the same, with its delightful atmosphere, excellent food and wine as we remembered. Hosted by Roth, delicious grilled chilli prawns and a glass of sauvignon blanc - the perfect way to celebrate release !

Superb I have known Shampers in kingly street for years it’s fabulous and I only have admiration for Simon and the excellent staff . I wish them tremendous success for the future .

My friend and I stumbled upon this little gem on Tuesday. The laminated handwritten menu offered a good choice of dishes. So impressed when waiter informed us of some extra dishes available on the day.I had organic salmon and my friend chose duck confit. Both delicious and generous portions by London standards. There were about five occupied tables which is adequate from a safety point of view. Bottle of prossecco was high quality. Will definitely return staff were efficient and friendly.

Brought an Australian friend to shampers. Loved it. I can honestly say their Oysters are some of the best in London and their sirloin steak is better than you would get at a top steak house for twice the price. A true London great, Soho's finest. Great wine list and well priced. My friend said they could double the prices !!!

10/10 service, lovely people, warm and inviting space and great wine. F*ck COVID - you should come here and experience the original Soho in this gem.

Based on our last good experience eating at Shampers we decided to have dinner here. Our starter of fresh squid was terrible and served at the same time as our main courses. Talking of service, it has gone downhill since last time we visited this place. Mostly inexperienced and untrained staff. The steak I had was ok but my partner’s fish was not cooked sufficiently. All in all a terrible experience. We won’t be back.

Dishes are great. I had the meatballs wrapped in bacon, it was great but I could have eaten a couple of meatballs more, there were only 3. Waitress were lovely also.

If you want peace, don't dine downstairs where the coffee machine exudes noise throughout the meal, very annoying. Food straight forward but nothing special, the bar on the ground floor is pleasant enough and well stocked

One of the worst, if not the worst, dinning experience I have ever had, and I am not too fussy! We went for dinner and found the services was really low standard. We had squid as starter which was tasteless and of very poor quality. I had seabass which I can only say I cook it better as it was served pink. The one thing that saved it was the steak my partner ordered. £90 total bill. Money really wasted. We won't be back.

Un encantador restaurante con no demasiadas mesas, especiales brillantes y un ambiente muy acogedor. He estado aquí con clientes, amigos y mi esposa y continúo recomendando esto a cualquiera que busque un restaurante en la zona.Conocí al dueño en mi última visita, un hombre muy amable que me dio una recomendación fantástica para la merluza a la parrilla.

I'm glad I followed through on a recommendation from a friend! Such a great buzz, interesting & humorous art on the walls, excellent wine selection and yummy food. I'll definitely be back.

I booked Shampers for lunch for 18 and it was perfect. Everyone enjoyed each course. The food was perfect and was served at the same time, no long waits before everyone had their meal and the service from the waitresses was very good. I could not recommend Shampers highly enough. It's a long established business and you can see why it has lasted. I am already planning my next visit.

Have regularly eaten here when we come to London so was concerned about latest reviews. No need to have worried as food and ambience same as ever. Yes service is more enthusiastic than slick but that’s part of the charm. Will be back next time we are in town

Having enjoyed numerous visits to Shampers over the past 10 years I was looking forward to returning with a group of colleagues later this week. Sadly we have cancelled because we found out that it now has an 2 star hygiene rating. It's a shame, but we're not going to take the chance when there are so many other places in the area with 5 stars.

Fui aquí ya que parecía ocupado y bueno desde el exterior. Al entrar y sentarse, el mantel no es tan de alta calidad como cabría esperar o pensaba que fuera, pero eso realmente no importa.Pedimos nuestra comida y le preguntamos cómo normalmente tendría hígado, a lo que la camarera dijo que no sabía que solo la cocinamos como quiere.Panes tuenwd que estaban bien y pedimos un poco más, pero no vinieron hasta la mitad thrihhb comer nuestra comida principal.El hígado estaba tibio, igual que el puré, no caliente. El atún era fabuloso, pero otras comidas eran simplemente promedio.Decepcionado y no volvería.

No había estado en Shampers por algún tiempo, sin embargo, anoche cuatro de nosotros cenamos y el equipo nos atendió maravillosamente. La comida era excelente (especialmente los calamares de la casa en jengibre y ajo, y las gambas) y la tabla de quesos (teníamos dos entre los cuatro) presentaba una amplia variedad de quesos. Como siempre, es el vino lo que lo hace y probamos "algunos" de la excelente lista, incluida una buena rioja y un Ribiero. Fuerte recomendación para el pilar de Kingly Street

Had dinner there and whilst the food was very well cooked, and the wine list fine, the service was not: staff appeared pretty disinterested, and for a party of five it was inexcusable that they had missed one order for the main course (we hadn't ordered starters!). Hadn't been for a year, and remembered why: it needs a proper manager!

I was pleasantly surprise by my first visit to Shampers. We took the lower ground floor for a reunion lunch. Service was very attentive and food well cooked too. Lively atmosphere.

Wonderful to visit Shampers for a Birthday lunch. We had a fantastic afternoon and we were very warmly welcomed by Simon and Roth. Great wine list and reasonably priced. There is a large selection of good wines by the glass. The food is excellent - lots of choice. The oysters and steak were particularly good. It is always fun to visit Shampers. The atmosphere is amazing and its a special place, amidst the hurly burly of London. My partner has been a regular since Shampers opened and it never fails to disappoint! Thank you for another great time! Hope to be back very soon.

Shampers has been going since 1977 and that's testimony to its success. It's friendly, almost always available (if you can't book a table, have seat at the bar), food is nicely prepped, wines are kept nicely and you can order a lot of them by the glass. Above all, it's good value, which keeps people coming back. I had marinated herrings and a steak sandwich and chips for not too much more than twenty quid which for London isn't bad. Don't worry that you feel like you're invading someone else's party. Every one feels like that. It's informal and the staff are efficient - just what you need if you're on the way to a show, or you've just finished work, which many of the customers have. If it's your first time here, you'll find a reason of an occasion to come back.

I hadn't been here for years, and was worried by some recent mixed reviews. Meeting up with a couple of Uni friends for a long overdue catch up, we had a great time. The food was faultless, wine well judged and reasonably priced (for Central London), and service friendly and efficient. My next visit will be sooner rather than later!

Another relaxed and highly enjoyable lunch at Shampers Wine Bar. Have been going there for several years and I have never had a meal or a bottle of wine that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. The chef can cook a steak far better than some of the more prestigious restaurant chefs and the food and wine is always excellent. Delighted to see that Madeira is still on the wine list. It’s not easy to find a bar that stocks it. Always very friendly and efficient staff and always a warm welcome from Simon the owner. Cannot recommend this place too highly!

Friday night in the West end with no booking. Yes we had set ourselves up for failure. All the good places were fully booked and it would be minimum 30mins wait. So as we wondered the streets of Soho we came across Shampers and were delighted to find a place to sit, eat, drink and relax.

We cane here for a pre- theatre meal early on Saturday (14th ) evening.

Realmente deseo realmente poder ser más positivo sobre este lugar. Es un bar de vinos de la vieja escuela en el West End con una lista de vinos decente, pero las últimas veces que he estado, me di cuenta de que las cosas van cuesta abajo. El ambiente es caótico: el personal se pelea entre sí y crea una tensión extraña, olvidando las órdenes e ignorando a los clientes que hacen cola mientras traquetean limpiando los vidrios de una manera agresiva. El área del bar también está bastante sucia, no es de extrañar que tenga un 2/5 en las calificaciones de higiene alimentaria de Scores on the Doors.

Shampers es un antiguo bar de vinos y restaurante en Carnaby Street. En una parte de la ciudad que está cada vez más llena de establecimientos de cadena, Shampers ofrece un refugio de bienvenida como un bar y restaurante independiente.

I found this place by accident while walking around Carnaby Street. It quite a cool place to go specialising in wine. I had a Gin and Tonic and drank it outside and people watched. It was over £7 so I made it last. Maybe a bottle of wine shared would be better value.

Tenía la oportunidad de ser un lugar perfecto, pensé.

Great friendly location is so consistently the best. Staff and wonderful host deliver good wine and food. Everything is above average in this wonderful bistro on the edge of Soho. Well done Simon, keep up with this atmosphere.

Après 3 dîners au Shampers, je décide de donner une excellent note à ce restaurant/bar à vin: Tout d'abord, la qualité est constante et tant les entrées que les plats sont délicats et savoureux ensuite, la carte de base est complétée par d'excellentes suggestions qui varient, ce qui permettra à chacun de trouver son bonheur, par ailleurs la carte de vin, tant au verre qu'a la bouteille est intéressante et enfin les tarifs pratiqués sont tout à fait acceptables, specialemnt en plein centre de Londres. Personnellement, j'ai un gros faible pour le Gravlax. Resto à recommander.

He visitado Shampers regularmente a la hora del almuerzo y la cena durante varios años y nunca me ha decepcionado. La administración es excelente y el personal es peculiar, lo que refleja perfectamente a todo el establecimiento. Este es un lugar realmente divertido para visitar, pero se basa en la buena comida, pero no en la espectacular, y en una excelente selección de vinos. Mesas acogedoras en la planta baja y delantera con un área alrededor de la barra para sentarse y pararse. Parece que siempre hay una multitud de clientes interesantes que ayudan, junto con la decoración interesante, a crear un ambiente de craqueo. Una vez visitado no se olvida. Recomendado.

It was ok, nothing special. Wasn't over keen on my food, though my friends enjoyed theirs. Had the tempura salad which I found quite bland. The staff were very nice and attentive. Very cramped and the tables small.

Been a regular for three decades and never disappointed - and so maby people I've introduced have become regulars too. No messing short, goid quality menu, unfailingly good value, with proper wines. Run by a couple of stars on their own way. Wonderfully unfashionable.

I've been coming here (lunchtimes) for over 20 years but this was my first evening visit. The atmosphere is different - not better or worse, just different.

Would definitely recommend Shampers. We didn’t book in advance (but would recommend you do). Had a fabulous dinner and the staff were great. Perfect atmosphere

Went to a friends 70th birthday party last night at the restaurant. We had the downstairs part of the place to ourselves. Food , drink, service and staff was brilliant. Lovely evening

Went with an old patronage of Shampers and what a lovely place it turned out to be. Simons as the owner at his age was all over the place serving keeping his customers in good humour talking suggesting the better wines and we had some great food and lovely time. Go there again and again and again

Originalmente había reservado 28 - 50 Maddox Street para el almuerzo de hoy. . . . Los peligros de reservar en línea. . . Cuando llegamos estaba cerrado!

A friend in local pub said that if we wanted to eat before the Palladium then Shampers was the place. Totally correct. Good welcome with bar area packed . Restaurant area busy but not crowded. Food choice and quality was excellent. Not cheap but value for money. Superb 2018 Malbec. Tried to buy it on internet today and found the earliest I could get it was in February. Confirms that the wine list is very special. Will find an excuse to visit again soon.

Close knit intimate setting with an array of winter warmers on the menu. I would describe the cuisine as a fusion of British and French. Great food and vast wine list. Staff are friendly and the restaurant and bar area seems to welcome a number of locals. Good location, would visit again

Whilst looking for a place to eat prior to going to the theatre this evening, my wife and I struck gold with Shampers. Friendly, welcoming staff, supported by a great value meal. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a budget meal, far from it. It was just really good value. Not at all expensive.

Booked Shampers for a meal as part of our staff Christmas party last Friday and so glad we did. Food was excellent, everyone commented on this, great menu choices and very reasonable prices. Great selection of wines and service was excellent. Would highly recommend for a great meal in Central London and lovely atmosphere too. Thank you Shampers, we will be back!

Great for a couple of glasses of wine, followed by a bite to eat either on site or within the many neighbouring options. A personal favourite.

Joined many friends for an airline reunion lunch held downstairs The food choice is very extensive and very well prepared and served by attentive waitresses. The wines offered are sensibly priced and there is a limited selection of beers.The restaurant was very busy with all the tables occupied so our reunion was held in a happy place. Recommend you phone ahead to book to avoid disappointment.

Although no vegan dish on menu on request restaurant will oblige . Not a great choice but good quality food and was very enjoyable.Had nut roast with veg and side dish of chips as main. Avocado salad to start and sorbet with fresh fruit as sweet all very nice.Also have alternative vegan milk on request..

Shampers was recommended by a friend, we popped in for a drink, left hours later! The atmosphere is fabulous, the staff are wonderful and I can’t wait to return.

Un lugar favorito para un almuerzo largo cuando trabajé cerca hace 10 años, me aventuré a regresar este fin de semana y me encantó encontrarlo prácticamente sin cambios a pesar de los grandes cambios en Kingly Street. La lista de vinos es un poco más corta de lo que recordaba, pero todavía hay algunas buenas selecciones, y las ostras son excelentes.

Si quieres encontrar un verdadero bar de vinos a la antigua, Shampers es el mejor. Increíble selección de vinos y una gran variedad de comida y queso. Siempre volveré aquí una y otra vez. Simon que posee este establecimiento es un verdadero caballero! Especiales todos los dias

He amado a Shampers durante años. El dueño, Simon, es un chico encantador; el personal es amable y eficiente; bar / restaurante muy atmosférico; comida excelente y de precio razonable; lista de vinos excelente y también a un precio razonable.

Stumbled upon this wine bar accidentally and we were not disappointed. Beautiful bottle of wine, fantastic, friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be back soon and will sample the food which looked and smelt amazing.

A good business contact took me for lunch today at Shampers (tucked away in Kingly Street behind Hamleys) which is one of his favourite London Restaurants.

Lovely food, fantastic wine list and a crowd of professionals in at lunchtime. It's helpful if you quite like that crowd because the tables are so close to one another, you'll essentially be sharing with your neighbours...

Restaurante e Wine Bar com boas opções de vinho tanto na garrafa como na taça. Ambiente familiar, inclusive fomos com criança. Destaque para uma atendente brasileira muito simpática que acabei esquecendo o nome. Provamos a Lula com gengibre, espetacular, a tábua de frios, a salada com burrata e uma sobremesa típica. Tudo excelente.

Had heard a lot of very good things about this place and wanted to check it out. Food ok but no higher; service variable, with some nice and friendly waitresses and one particularly grumpy. Coffee came before dessert which I’m used to in the US but not here. I wouldn’t change my plans to return.

Fuimos de casualidad porque intentamos en otro que no había sitio y porque ya era “tarde” considerando las horas de cenar allí. La cena un poco sin más, yo me pedí un sándwich de champiñones que estaba bastante regular y mi acompañante se pidió un tipo de carne parecido a las albóndigas. El precio caro para la calidad de la comida. Hacia un calor insoportable dentro. No volvería, fue pues eso para salir del paso.

Why is it we always forget our favourite places...I have been coming to Shampers since 1994. The brilliantly eccentric and close friend Simon having run it from 92. There was a period when I had a table booked every Thursday at 3pm for meetings and socialising. Now I have 2-3 business lunches a month dependent on travel. Despite everything London has to offer I book shampers every single time. Maybe that makes me a sad unadventorous saddo, but I feel part of the furniture, know the people, the food is exquisite and without exception everyone I have introduced to this gem have returned under their own steam. What else to say

Fuimos por recomendación de nuestras hijas, que fueron a la derecha sobre la comida resultó y servicio. El personal era atento, sin ser agresivo, la comida era sincero con amplio porciones. La tabla de quesos con una copa de oporto a fin remató una gran visita. Vendrá de nuevo.

This is the friendliest restaurant in Soho. Good food and great atmosphere. The food and wine are consistently goo.d. The wine selection superb. IanL

Como se ha dicho en otras críticas, totalmente decepcionado por el personal que tienen una actitud totalmente bruscos y antipático, que daba la impresión de que no importa si estás allí o no. Lo cual es una pena porque la comida era realmente muy agradable comida bistró de estilo y bien ejecutados. Pero se necesita tanto. Otros lugares en esta calle eran muy concurridas, probablemente por una razón.

Slightly quirky, especially the owner, but great food and a good wine list.

Es un lugar muy agradable, tuvimos una buena cena y vino pero. . .

Recently returned to shampers - on Kingley Street - for the first time in ages, and was delighted to find that it hasn’t changed a bit. Simple menu (dishes done very well) and a superb wine list. An excellent meal.

Pequeño gran pub diner cono en un patio ocupado en Soho peculiar. Gran menú de especialidades y una lista completa de vinos agrupados por país de amablemente elección. Tenía cangrejo en arranque tostadas que era excelente y luego un bistec y un rape principal principal. Ambos deliciosos. Buen ambiente.

I have been going to Shampers for approaching 30 years and that probably tells a story as it is just the kind of place you enjoy going back to. Good food, fantastic wine, the irrepressible Simon..

Nice little wine bar. Many choices of wine. The food is awesome. I ate the pigeon which was super. Bread pudding for dessert. Yum

My favourite wine bar anywhere. Excellent food and wine, small choice of beer and one of the few places you can get a glass of Madeira! Have been enjoying Shampers for many years and recognise customers from the early days. Food consistently good whether it be the specials or the standards. Wine is always excellent. Friendly and welcoming owner and staff. Never been able to fault it except the tendency to eat too much!

I do not review this every time I come because I come here too often! It is my default lunch option always good food. Always friendly service. Until The next time.

A great independent restaurant. Centrally located, a five minute walk from Oxford circus. Welcoming, and friendly, the owners and team could not do enough to ensure a great time. This restaurant has a relaxed, but lively, buzz, serving very good food. Highly recommended.

Que sorpresa más estupenda....!!! En una noche fría salimos caminando desde Holborn hacia el SoHo en busca de algún lugar especial para cenar. Por casualidad entramos en este curioso sitio, lo vimos animado y pensamos que podía ser una buena opción. No es de las típicas cervecerías bonitas que ves al paso, o restaurante moderno, ni mucho menos.

Shampers is one of my favourite restaurants in London, so consistently good . Traditional food at extremely reasonable prices, also always has a great atmosphere.

I first went to Shampers in 1989, and then many many times over the next 20 years or so, before...

Dall'esterno il ristorante ci ha fatto una buona impressione: tavoli apparecchiati con la tovaglia, sedie tipiche da brasserie francese, molteplici...

“Look, a winebar!”. I was glad to finally find a place where I could have a nice glas of wine....

It was a little after 10pm when the four of us popped in for a post supper "last one". On first impressions Shampers was more or less what we were looking for - quirky, atmospheric and without manic music. We watched what appeared to be the owner/gaffer wander up and down the bar casting a professional eye over his domain perhaps making sure all was in order, everything ticking along nicely. Every now and again a waitress/ barperson would appear then disappear. They chatted. We waited. Invisible. The four of us sitting at the bar without a drink. Eventually, the owner/gaffer decided that we had passed the waiting test and called to a passing/wandering bar lady that we should be served. We were served without grace or humour, finally reduced to fits of muffled giggles by her attitude which did little to raise her weary spirits.

A group of 12 of us went here first weekend in January. It’s a wine bar and restaurant open 11am to 11pm. It was a friendly medium sized place with a great atmosphere.

Love this restaurant brilliant food service and staff only grumble don’t get coat taken . I had starters of prawns very small but everything else superb x

Per noi italiani che vogliamo gustarci il palato anche in vacanza Londra non è così semplice da vivere se non vuoi spendere cifre assurde e pensi, come noi, che la cucina italiana è meglio sicuramente a casa nostra.

Piccola vineria dalle parti di Piccadilly Circus molto carina ed accogliente. Ottima la carta dei vini serviti con taglieri di salumi, olive e assaggini di vario genere. Personale cortese e servizio veloce. Prezzi nella media. Consigliato per un piacevole aperitivo in centro.

No importa si estás allí sólo para tomar una copa de vino o una buena comida siempre burbujas. . . . . . . . Un servicio perfecto, un entorno agradable y siempre algo nuevo.

Got charmed by the look of the place which resembles a quaint little french bistro. Thats how they draw you in...clever. Theres a downstairs and the dated decor is a mix of fairly macabre art and very cheap decorations making it less visually appealing as upstairs and more akin to a bar in a dodgy third world town (and ive spent a fair bit of time in dodgy third world establishments). The bread was good so i was hopeful. Appetizers came suspiciously fast..fried calamari which was rubbery. My main reminded me of hospital cafeteria food except with garnish and at 10 times the price. My wifes fish was somewhat better and dessert was ok at best. Oh and the Waiters always looked confused. All in all..plenty of good places close by..wont be going back.

This is certainly my favourite restaurant in London. The two owners are charming and the staff care. The food is always good.

They have oysters! And an amazing selection of wine (which is very reasonably priced)! And, surprisingly, always space for a small company! And it is right in the centre of London. A hidden gem.

A superb little bistro offering excellent wines, at reasonable prices. The food is fresh, tasty, and imaginatively presented. The service is responsive, friendly, yet unobtrusive. The atmosphere is convivial, with a buzz of good-natured discussions and lively conversations

I gave Shampers a call to ask whether it would be possible to book a table for 8 - drinkers rather than eaters - on a Friday evening at 1830. I was expecting a resounding NO! Thankfully the answer was 'yes' and a great meeting place it proved to be. The list is well chosen and reasonably priced and we will certainly visit again. They have made new friends in this household by their flexibility and friendliness.

Sat in the window for lunch on a Wednesday. Loads of choice on the menu... the calamari is some of the best I have ever had. My colleague picked the Skate which he liked but considering he had a hangover he maybe should have chosen something less tricky to eat. I had the kidneys on mash, really nice and just what I wanted on a cold London day. Was there for nearly 6 hours but never felt we overstayed our welcome, but they were probably glad to see us go when the evening customers started to arrive. Wine was excellent and good value, also the port to go with the cheese board was perfect and a nice large glass. The owner/manager was such a nice fella, full of stories and happy to advise what to choose and was very attentive. His younger staff maybe not as good but that he does have nearly 3 decades more experience than them. I will be back, hopefully with my wife when up in the big city again for a show or shopping.

Popped in here with 2 hours before a show with my mum on her 79th Birthday. Had wandered round environs rejecting all other restaurants for one reason or another... saw traditional meat dishes on menu and thought let’s give it a go!I’m glad we did! Had a glass of wine from the extensive list. Decided to choose based on the descriptions of the wines as a guide on how we’d like to feel - so the pouilly fumme got it!!Walls covers with art to view or purchase, rest of walls covered with wine bottles. Lovely slightly faded ambience - a little shabby but a nice change from the Corp. chains. Toilets down in dingy cellar and very 1980’s!! But pretty fleur des lys toilet paper no less ⚜️This is the kind of place I’d like to hole up in our if the rain and lose myself either with good company/good book and good wine.Food was very nice too!

Went for a meal after seeing a cabaret act. The staff were friendly and the service was good. Excellent selection of wine. The food was very disappointing. I had venison steak and mashed potatoes and it tasted as though it had come out of the freezer and been put into the microwave. Two mains and a bottle of wine came to £54.45 including service. So not cheap for a very mediocre meal. Wouldn’t rush back.

Un très bon restaurant à Londres dans le quartier de Westminster et en particulier dans la charmante rue Kingly Street. Restaurant très apprécié ou il est recommandé de réserve pour avoir une table bien située. Des plats originaux et frais, une carte variée et qui change selon les arrivages de poissons frais. Environ £30 par personne pour une entrée et un plat et un verre de vin.

Shampers is my favourite wine bar. Excellent food and wines and the friendliest of atmospheres. Extremely well run and it is always like visiting old friends. It is also one of the very few places where you can't get a decent glass of Madeira. A favourite for close on 25 years and will remain so.

Time leaves without us whether our bags are packed or not .We move forward never going back .Wine however enables us to travel back to times gone by ...it enables us to take a step back from where we are and live momentarily in the past ... this is why I love wine and so it is only natural that I fell in love with 'shampers' As soon as I walked through the doors memories of my skiing trips in Europe came rushing back ! The whole place just seems completely untouched by time as if it is frozen in one moment if only to allow us to dip in and out as we continue our busy hustle and bustle.I recommend this place to anyone with a passion for wine but even more for those who fight to keep wine relevant !

On cherchait un petit coin sympa pour aller boire un verre et on a trouvé ce petit bar à vin. Le vin est très bon, un service très sympa, et un décor très sympa. Je recommande à tous les amateurs de vin ! ( et vu les plats, la cuisine doit être très bonne ).

I fell in love with this place, bustling, full of character with a proper landlord behind the bar! English to the core selling a fabulous array of wines from all over the world at really good prices which amounts to impressive value for money! The staff are amazing and clearly loyal to Simon the obvious man in charge! The food is excellent from menu choice to mouth! My veal steak with mushroom sauce, green beans and new potatoes was outstanding' brilliant, brilliant brilliant!!!!

I was apprehensive when I first saw the restaurant front ...but was surprised to see lots of tables filled up with guests enjoying themselves . We were a group Of 25 plus and went down into the basement . Tables were placed close to each other but that was the only hiccup . Staff were friendly service was good . Good choice of Starters were made available for a fixed menu. Main courses were ok . I took the venison well done and the portion was a tad small ...tasted nice though . Well worth a repeat visit .

Reviewing this as a Wine Bar onlyGreat choice Soothing decor conducive to alcohol consumptionIm happy
