The 10 Cases in Camden

Thank you so much Abby and Will. The 10 cases never disappoint and that’s why we keep coming back after all those years. The food is delicious, the wine list is a treasure hunt and the service is the very best in London. There is no other restaurant I’d rather be on a Friday evening.

In my opinion one of the best wine bars in London. Really cute street in central London without it feeling like central London. Amazing food menu, knowledgable and very friendly (but not overly pushy) staff. Atmosphere is very cozy, and what I love is that it’s always full but never feels crowded. 5/5!

Very nice wine bar with wide range of wines from all areas of the world.

There is a great wine list. You have to sit inside from 11 p.m. The service is really fun. I am very impressed by the casualness and attentiveness of the service.

Cozy wine bar, nice that there is something so dedicated. Lots of open wines and high-quality bouquets.

The food was disappointing. Fine wine list though pricey.

What a brilliant wine bar, will definitely be going back - best wine bar in London

Buen vino, personal grosero. Reservamos una mesa para reunirnos con un amigo y pedimos unas copas de vino seguido de una botella - no barata - para compartir, por recomendación de una camarera amable y conocedora. Luego pedimos un café y una recarga de agua para tomar un descanso y discutir lo que seguía (el plan era pedir más vino y tal vez comida, estábamos tratando de decidir cuál primero) , cuando un camarero nos informó condescendientemente que "las mesas están reservadas para las personas que piden vino, ya sabes, no para las personas que simplemente obtienen recargas de agua interminables", antes de alejarse rápidamente. ¡Estábamos atónitos! Cuando regresó, señalé que su comentario era innecesariamente ofensivo considerando la factura de *vino* que habíamos acumulado hasta ahora. Él se disculpó y sacó los cafés de la cuenta, pero obviamente pagamos inmediatamente, nos fuimos, y llevamos nuestro dinero del vino a otro lugar (una especie de arrepentimiento dejando la propina, pero la camarera inicial sí se lo merecía). Hay un montón de bares de vinos bien surtidos en Londres, voy a probar uno sin la actitud la próxima vez.

Good wine, rude staff. Booked a table to meet a friend and we ordered a few glasses of wine followed by a -not cheap- bottle to share, on the recommendation of a friendly and knowledgeable waitress. We then ordered a coffee and a refill of water to take a break and discuss what was next (the plan was to order more wine and maybe food, we were trying to decide which first), when a waiter patronisingly informed us that "the tables are reserved for people who order wine, you know - not people who just get endless water refills", before briskly walking off. We were stunned! When he came back I did point out his comment was unnecessarily offensive considering the *wine* bill we'd racked up so far. He did apologise and took the coffees off the bill, but obviously we immediately paid, left, and took our wine money elsewhere (kind of regret leaving the gratuity in but the initial waitress did deserve it). There are plenty of well-stocked wine bars in London, I'll try one without the attitude next time.

Nice staff. Always an interesting and good wine list. Food was good but a little greasy calamari and not much inside batter. Same for chorizo/artichoke. The watercress soup was good though.

Great ambience, top service, great wine and food. Will definitely be recommending to friends and look to return in the future.

Fantastic wine bar. Called in for my Wife's birthday, and were made very welcome by all the lovely & friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere & will definitely call here again when visiting London. Highly recommended. A big thank you for making our evening so special.

(This review is for the wine bar only, haven't tried the Bistro yet!) I was introduced to 10 Cases by a friend who cited it as "her favourite wine bar London", she told me she started going after a friend of hers brought her along after saying the same thing 😂 True word of mouth marketing! Every visit I've made has always been filled with friendly (and knowledgable) staff, excellent wine suggestions (last time we went the lovely Morgan recommended some awesome aligoté), and absolutely delicious food. The wine bar tables do seem to be a little hard to come by for larger groups, but only because it's so popular. Great vibe and an awesome place to catch up over a glass - or bottle, i won't judge - of some quality wine!

Love the steak and the cod here and the staff are always incredibly kind and helpful.

What a great find lovely snug french bistro wine bar very professional knowledgeable staff excellent selection of small plates and cheeses can't wait to return

This wine bar is one of the top in London. It has carefully selected wine menu and excellent staff. I had the chance to speak with the somms and they were extremely knowledgeable, most WSET level 3 at least. I tried a few excellent whites, orange wines, and exceptional German pinot. Highly recommend.

11 de nosotros alquilamos una de sus dos habitaciones privadas en el sótano para un menú fijo para el almuerzo de un sábado. La comida era de £ 60 por persona durante tres platos y la elección era buena. La comida era sabrosa y servida a buenos intervalos. El servicio fue genial y aparte de que nos llevaron la comida, nos quedamos solos. Proporcionaron un altavoz Bluetooth para que reproducimos nuestra propia música. La elección del vino era genial y me pareció el precio muy razonable para la zona. Cargo por servicio discrecional de 13. Se añadió un 5% a la factura, pero sentí que era justo por el servicio que recibimos. Lo recomendaría para grupos de personas para un buen almuerzo si te gusta su vino.

This is such a good wine bar & restaurant. Food was spectacular. Really good for coeliac / gluten free too - the whole fryer was gluten free. Staff were great and wine was very good & reasonably priced.

Looking at picture recently posted and I can say that’s not what we got served… I didn’t take any pictures so that’s on me but what a disappointment:/ we had a cheese board that mostly contained crust !!! Smallest pieces have ever seen in any board… and our waiter seemed to be going through something 😵‍💫 no attention given and not bothered to actually try, shame !

Llegamos sin reserva, temprano por la noche, y nos sentamos "al lado" - servidor muy servicial. Abarrotado pero con buen rollo, buen vino y un menú interesante.

I really wish the personnel was more attentive.

Tuvimos una cena previa al teatro y me encantó. Personal encantador y excelente menú. Teníamos Jake con ñoquis de ajo negro y estaba delicioso! La tarta de chocolate y avellana también fue fabulosa. Gran selección de vinos. Absolutamente volveré y ya se recomienda a los amigos.

Service is good. £18 for a cheese platter...or as I like to call it, 6 small pieces of cheese, feels a bit steep! We had a light bottle of red wine recommended but it was 'ok'. Just metallic tasting. Spent close to £90 for this #moderatelyhappy Would definitely go back!

Fabulous food with excellent wines. Large glass list and better bottle list.

They give me a really good recommendation for me, so I can experience my type of wine. Even the wine maker is very famous:)

Bistro vibe in Covent Garden for lunch, cut above the rest without pretensions. Not cheap but reasonable value for area. Service excellent, food very good.

You can only book a restaurant, be cautious if you are vegan because there is not much for you here. Wine selection is quite basic but really well done. Amazing vibes in the restaurant, and bar-bar area is very beautiful dim light for a date moment. Overall I’d come aagain but not for food, just wine - lack of vegan options would put me away, but for wine it’s a great place nonetheless

Despite how busy the place was, everything was top notch. Our waitress was amazing...not a single flaw. Serious high five to our amazing waitress if she remembers our rather intensive work Xmas party...she was amazingly adaptive.

Great french restaurant with excellent food, great service and a fun atmosphere. The private dining room in the wine cellar is also perfect for small celebration dinners or gatherings.

Un restaurante muy concurrido con un servicio amable y buen vino. Un menú pequeño (que podría hacer con opciones más vegetarianas) pero de buena calidad. No muy lejos de Covent Garden, así que un buen lugar de reunión

Great food, well priced wine in a lively setting. Everything I had was delicious and I tried half the menu. A great place to share dishes at. Wine by the glass is the way to go, everything is available by the glass. Can't do a long dinner, they need the table back for a second service.

I went to the 10 cases for dinner - the place is small but very cozy. We didn’t order a variety of foods from the menu but what we had was delicious. As starter we ordered padron peppers and as mains we had steak and frites - onglet cut (I think it’s different every night) smothered in peppercorn sauce. I would definitely come back to try more food but this was divine, so I highly recommend.

Restaurante encantador, comida fantástica y un servicio excelente. La taramasalata y la achicoria encurtida en tostadas, fue excepcional y el pez monje con piel de pollo, girolas y salsa madeira divina. Los tres vinos, elegidos por mi acompañante, fueron excelentes. Este es mi nuevo comedor de Londres.

Good find. The thing about cities. There is always movement. Restaurants open and close. Here is one I hope stays open for a long time. Wines are wonderful.

TOP Value for money wine bar in all of LONDON. if you are a wine enthusiast GO and check this place.

We did only have a few bottles of wine. Great Selection, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff

Great buzzy wine bar with brilliant choice from all regions. Staff super knowledgeable and friendly

Absolutely immaculate experience at the 10 cases, my favourite wine bar in London. Morgan was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. Our experience here was 10/10! Highly recommend

Great wine list, great service. 👌🏻 Would recommend!

Disfrutamos de un almuerzo pre teatro muy tranquilo y sabroso en 10 casos. Aperitivos y algunos deliciosos bocadillos para compartir seguidos de pez monje para 2 más otras opciones de amigos. Todos disfrutamos de su comida y todos apreciamos los servicios amables. Sin duda llevaría a otros amigos a compartir el disfrute sin mencionar la ubicación.

Amazing experience on this “French” bistro in London. Carefully selected wines from various worldly’s famous producers, not only Europeans. The food options also bring good surprises. The atmosphere is lovely and the service is efficient and courteous. Memorable.

The steak is a must try! There was only a little problem with the serving. The fries arrived hot but the meat was cold.

Wine for under £15 per glass is not that great at all, average only. Cheese board was basic, you can find better cheese in a store. Service is okay but after visiting bars they are not very generous. We just came back from Paris and had amazing wine experiences there so we might have come with a high standard in mind.

A wonderful little place. Food and wine excellent

Nos topamos con este gran bistró letlaagged y sin reserva. Tuvieron la amabilidad de sentarnos en el bar. La decoración y los asientos en la acera le dieron una sensación de cafetería francesa en el corazón de Londres. 10 Cases es pequeño, pero cuenta con una impresionante selección de vinos, con ofertas rotativas de vinos y cenas. Las rillettes de pato con cornichones eran buenas, al igual que la maison terrine de cerdo. Nuestros platos principales fueron Venado con puré de zanahoria y chirivías asadas, y un gran filete de frituras con salsa de pimienta en grano. El servicio fue genial, y tenemos prisa.

Fantastic wine selection - must go!!

We ordered some wine, almonds and bread. While the wine was good, the bread was hard and inedible.

Perfecto bar de vinos en Londres. Dan el gerente del bar y comprador de vino hizo nuestra visita excepcional. Pedimos un PEter LAuer Sekt 1984. Al principio, llamamos al vino encorchado y lo enviamos de vuelta. Unos 15 minutos después, Dan llegó y preguntó cómo iba nuestra visita. Le notificamos que lamentablemente tuvimos que devolver el LAuer. Luego probó el vino e indicó que se sentía diferente. Discutimos y reintentamos el vino. En este punto lo que todos pensábamos era que la mancha de corcho se había disparado y el vino estaba bebiendo perfectamente. Kudos a Dan por tratar de salvar un vino increíble que todos pensamos que estaba hecho. Además, la comida era increíble al igual que las otras botellas de champán que tuvimos esa tarde. Este lugar es una visita obligada. No podemos esperar a volver.

We went here on two successive evenings (be sure to make a reservation!), and both were wonderful experiences. Friendly staff, imaginative chef, well-curated wine list, great people watching, yet intimate. We were well treated.

This is a super place for people watching and having excellent small plates of food. The dishes are good quality and the service is very professional and discreet allowing conversation to flow. So what are the not so good bits... it's popular and so it is very full and the tables are a little close (but still comfortable). It's a little pricey but that is central London so spend and enjoy (make sure you order the salmon in oil, it's super) I will return

My go to spot for a glass of wine in London. Never had a bag glass. Amazing value for money and each wine is really interesting. Excellent service from folk who really look after you in a quietly lovely way.

Quoting my partner: This was the most uncomfortable birthday dinner of my life. We had to sit in an incredibly tight corner, so tight I could not move a leg or I would kick my partner sitting in front of me. We also had a shaky table, so we had to carefully measure every movement to be sure no glassware was falling on the floor. We left before dessert because we would have probably not been able to get out of the chairs with a full belly. Very VERY cold service with zero smiles or empathy - also failing with basic things like asking for the steak preference, so it arrived blue. And we’re not talking about a cheap place here! Ah, the wine was good - not that we ever saw the bottles. Very disappointed.

We had a really good experience with our waitress/ sommelier Emilie. She was excellent with recommendations, not too pushy but also gave some good suggestions. We loved all the wines she offered us. The food was great! The saltiness of the duck rillette and the flavourfulness of the chicken supreme. Really tasty with amazing presentation as well. We shall be back!

Had a pre theatre early dinner so it was quiet when we arrived but it soon filled up. Had lots of little sharing plates which was the perfect amount of food. Wine was also delicious

Very nice address. The staff is very friendly and gives very good advice. I will definitely return there on my next trip to London!

Lovely atmosphere, great service, steak was delicious. Highly recommend

By far the best 🍗chicken i had in a very long time!! The chicken supreme was so , so tasty , i was very impressed and the sauce underneath was salty and great!! The french waiter was very friendly, fast and friendly. I asked her something about the wine and she was very happy to help. I would gladly recommend this place and I can’t wait to go back !

Quality of food and wine is good but tourists should be careful for a high service charge above the average. They put 20% service charge as a default even they didn’t provide or ask any other options I could take. And also they put a cover charge for each person. Recommend to take a close look at your bill before your payment.

We were greeted immediately and had a lovely dinner. My husband is a wine guy and enjoyed speaking with Emilie and another team mate from the larger menu. We were tourist from the USA. I had read a great review of 10 Cases in The New York Times. The restaurant lived up to the review

Went to this wine bar twice, despite the wine being good, the service could be better. On late weekend evening, my friend and I ordered a bottle of wine to share. We wanted to move from the table near the door entrance towards another table to sit more comfortably on chairs instead of stools when the place emptied out gradually. The waiter only offered the table at the corner at the entrance to the washrooms downstairs where there was clearly an empty 4 person table (we asked to move to the 4 person table but was refused). Later two customers came in and were offered the sit on the 4 person table. I can’t seem to wonder why there is a hint of unfair treatment.

Excellent location. Trout is amazing. Fries are tasty. Service is class.

We visited early evening prior to dinner at Parsons fish restuarant which is diagonally opposite and has same owners. Very knowledgeable staff who will help you with your wine selection. Lovely ambience and lots of wine choice. Highly recommended.

Have been few times for dinner and lunch. Food is good. But the hostess/waitress attitude isn't acceptable. This last time were late and tried to contact the restaurant several times and no answer. When arrived I mentioned that I was late and if it would be possible to still have dinner, they say yes and pointed from the distance where was the table, when sitting on the table that I understood was mine, she came and shouted at us saying No! that's not the table for you because you arrived late! and moved me to the next table, I was shocked and embarrassed to be treated like that in front of other customers. In my eyes the tables were exactly the same didnt understand why the hate, and im happy to sit wherever is ok for the restaurant but if you aren't clear where exactly and just point out to one direction where is two empty tables don't treat me like that. If I was late I assure you it wasn't to make you angry, and if its fully booked for next customers you could've say no sorry and I would pay my penalty through Sevenrooms. But don't treat customers like you are doing us a favour, and don't take it personal if a costumer is late.

Loved it. Food only got 4 as choice was limited but quality was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed my evening and the staff were great.

We have the private room downstairs and it was excellent.

There were so many different types of wine, so after thinking about it for a while, I ordered a glass of wine and it was really delicious. He said he was sorry that the food came out a little late and gave us jamon and bread. Next time I go to London again, I want to go and try other dishes. The atmosphere was nice and I think we left behind happy memories.

Lovely wine bar, great service wines and delicious food

One of my absolute favourite local restaurants- never fails to deliver. Great food, lovely wine and brilliant service.

Wonderful traditional French bistro. Service superb.

Had the loveliest anniversary lunch here. Beautiful restaurant and absolutely delicious food including the veggie options. I’ve been coming here for years and it never misses

Incredibly kind, helpful staff & delicious wine!! 💜

Brilliant wine (without a ridiculous markup). Tasty food. Fun staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Good times. Need I say more?

This is a great spot in Covent Garden. We were warmly welcomed and the 2 staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a Saturday at 1pm, and we were surprised to be the only customers, but it soon became quite busy. The starters were lovely, especially the gougères and the ham terrine. The main courses weren't quite so good: my pork collar wasn't tender (as I'd been promised) and my companion's fish wasn't quite cooked, but it wasn't serious enough to complain as the wine bar was now quite busy, and the staff jad been so pleasant. What I didn't like was that the 2 serving staff laughed about me and mocked me within earshot, albeit round a corner by the bar and out of sight. I felt humiliated and stupid for having asked for an English Breakfast tea to finish the meal. Please remember that there are customers who speak and understand French.

So glad a friend brought me here for dinner delicious food delicious wine and a new favourite spot in town

The servers could have been more professional regarding the wine knowledge and manners. We ordered one of each expensive wine and champagne, and the waiter had to google the wine information for us. After we ordered wine first, we wanted to order some food; the waiter seemed quite unpleasant and stared at me, complaining: “Can we have one moment?’ He rolled his eyes and came back with a very serious tone after three seconds. Maybe this restaurant needs more staff, but this experience was not ideal. Especially when he asked how good their food and experiences were to other customers but not for our table. The staff was utterly silent when we left (I am Asian). If you are looking for a place with good service and food, maybe this is not the first choice.

Fun, buzzy restaurant in Covent Garden. Wonderful menu, could have eaten everything but went with Steak Frites and was not disappointed! Great place to meet up with friends. Excellent and attentive service, will definitely be back.

We’ve been to 10 Cases several times. This Tuesday evening we popped in for a quick meal before going to the Ballet. Dining room was empty with the exception of the two servers working that night. This was in the wine bar section. The welcome was lack lustre. And we ordered the Pork Collar. Server told us that it’ll take 20 minutes plus. Not a problem. Our wine arrived. Here are our issues… both servers were talking over our table and heads. One standing on the left. The other on the right. As if we were not there. Since order will take 20 minute plus… server should have asked if we wanted a bread basket. Instead… we had to ask. Their attitude was too casual to the point of being disinterested. I asked …” how is the Pork Collar?” He replied…” What do you mean?” Both servers didn’t bother to enquire about our meal or ask if we needed more wine. They clearly were not interested in the customers. Nor their jobs. A restaurant with this pricing should train staff better. Fortunately the Pork Collar was ok but platted in a rather small dish resembling a soup bowl! It’s pretty clear if we should visit again!

What a gem. Fantastic staff and wonderful atmosphere. Beautifully cooked food from an interesting menu. Such a relaxing place to be with a great buzz. We'll be back.

One of my favourite restaurants in London, unique experience every time

Walked past this, thought it looked nice so I kept a mental note to visit one day. Glad I did, great cosy little wine bar with good prices and good wines. Very happy and will definitely return.

Such a lovely place. Extensive wine list by the glass as well, not just bottle, which is not as common. Didn’t try any of the food but the wine I had was great and the place was warm and ambient.

Will happily return here for food and their fantastic selection of wines. Been coming here for years. The staff are really friendly and attentive. Glad that everything is still as amazing as always! Keep it up!

Such a warm welcoming bar. Brilliant service and delicious food and wine. Great wine recommendations and relaxed cozy atmosphere. One of my favourites in London!

BAG STOLEN - I went to the wine bar with a friend and we were seated on a small table by the door. I was sat closest to the door and without our table being left unattended the whole evening, with me or my friend present at the table whilst one of us went to the bathroom, my small handbag was stolen from below my feet. Before being sat down, I had placed my belongings in one of the compartments of the furniture (bureau by the door holding menus), but was shortly asked to remove my items and instead find a place for them by my feet. Big mistake, this restaurant has a problem with stealing, like most of Covent Garden. Waiters told me they know the recurring offenders by face. Therefore, they should have assisted me by providing the CCTV footage, putting up a warning sign for guests seated close to the door, and finally by providing adequate space for belongings so that they are not strung across the floor under the table by your feet.

We drank interesting bottles of wine and eat simple food, while being well looked after in a great atmosphere, the concept works well do be prepared to drink out side your comfort zone, price is very sensible considering its location a stones throw from Covent garden

Lovely warm ambience and cozy atmosphere. Excellent bistro style food and interesting wines. Very friendly but slightly rushed staff apologised for delays in the kitchen which was appreciated.

Lovely bright, small restaurant/wine bar conveniently located in Covent Garden. From our initial warm and genuinely friendly welcome, service was excellent throughout lunch. Very good menu, especially interesting starters. Not sure the cote du boeuf is worth the £75 for two sharing size wise, but it was tender and flavoursome, with delicious buttery and smooth garlic mash and a fine mushroom and tarragon sauce to accompany it. Our partners both enjoyed their lamb rump. The meal was completed with a well executed and not too sweet, treacle tart. Look out for the specials board which wasn’t pointed out to us. On this occasion it didn’t matter, but we would have liked to have seen the extra option.

Excellent meal, great service, thanks to Sophie for her hard work

Good wine, ok atmosphere, avoid for a meal

Classic and friendly wine bar, nice vibe

Great wines of value at all price points, especially near the top. Food is surprisingly good even for a bistro, let alone a wine bar. This is better than noble rot.

Great spot for lunch with a good selection of wine and great food! The service was excellent and will definitely be going back

Love this place! Amazing food and very friendly staff

2 nights in a row food fab , wine vast Our host the first night a delightful gentleman named Jeremy. Great knowledge and Witt.

Great ever changing wine list. A real hidden gem just round the corner from Covent Garden in Theatreland

Met here for some wine before food elsewhere. Lovely place.

Had an incredibly delicious meal here. Really friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Lovely wine. I highly recommend.

If you are hankering for some tasty steak frites in central London, this little bistro is the place to be. The wine list is also interesting , and draws from all over the world. On the downside, it can get pretty crammed even on weeknights.

Friendly and attentive Australian waitress. Good bottle of wine. Food only OK and, although I love salt, cabbage and leeks far too salty. Anchovies (4!!) and toast were majorly over priced. Best thing we had were the chips. Cured turbot was chewy - much too thick. For £130 inc it wasn’t value for money.

Firstly, great service. Also,very good wine. I have had this restaurant on my "to go"list for ages. Sadly, I was disappointed by the food. Some good dishes: I enjoyed the artichoke and also the chips. The anchovies and toast were really good, but overpriced. The Ham Hock seemed a little too cold, and underseasoned. The cabbage and leeks were too salty, and I love salt. To repeat: the service was great.
