There's a dedicated wine list alongside the food menu. We list London's wine list restaurants above.
A strong wine list is one of the clearest signs of a seafood restaurant that takes the pairing seriously, since crisp whites, Champagne and dry sparkling wines are the traditional match for oysters and other raw or lightly cooked shellfish.
A dedicated wine list means the restaurant has put together a specific selection of wines, rather than offering just a house red and white. The depth varies hugely, from a short by-the-glass list to an extensive by-the-bottle cellar.
Across the 11 London restaurants offering wine list, the highest concentration is in Westminster (7), Haringey (2), Wandsworth (1). By cuisine, it's most common among Spanish restaurant (3), Italian restaurant (3), Seafood restaurant (2).
Ask staff for a pairing recommendation if the list is long and unfamiliar; seafood restaurants with a serious wine list usually have staff trained to pair specific whites or Champagnes to what's on the seafood menu that day.
