Amazing! We got there late afternoon and managed to slowly eat and drink our way through the menu for 3 hours. To be honest I could’ve sat here all night! The main bartender/host (sorry we missed her name) was amazing, recommended a great wine and was lovely to chat to. Food was incredible, perfect little bites followed by a delicious prawn ravioli. Highly recommend and can’t wait to be back. Thanks for a perfect Saturday afternoon

The Wine Library is a consistent 5-star experience. I’ve visited several times now, and it never misses the mark. On our most recent visit, Debra looked after us. Her wine knowledge is exceptional; she navigated us through their extensive list and helped us find some absolute pearls. Beyond the wine, the food is fantastic—the new octopus carpaccio is a must-try—and the cocktails are top-tier. On a previous night, the bartender even whipped up some creative off-menu test cocktails that were brilliant. It’s a not-so-hidden gem in Paddington that is well worth a visit. Highly recommend! Try to guess the mystery wine!

It was an impromptu date night with my husband and this place didn’t disappoint. From the warm, inviting ambiance to the exceptional service, everything hit the mark. The wine list was thoughtfully curated, and the staff’s recommendation was so good we ended up taking a bottle home. We sampled the focaccia, tuna crudo, and prawn ravioli—each dish was beautifully executed and full of flavor. A perfect spot for a cozy evening out.
