By: LE CELLAR 29 APRIL 2019, LONDON, UK: Le Cellar is a new wine bar that opened in November 2018 at 130 St John Street, London EC1V 4JS (Clerkenwell) Le Cellar is an authentic French wine bar that offers a range of organic wines, French classic food and a great selection of artisan cheese, charcuterie and antipasti. In fact, with 12 types of cured meat on the menu daily, 9 cheeses and 9 types of marinated vegetables, they have the largest combined selection on offer of any wine bar and restaurant. With a basement wine cellar, where you can have a romantic dinner or private wine tastings, Le Cellar is definitely the closest thing to France in this part of London. CHEESE, CHARCUTERIE & ANTIPASTI Being a traditional wine bar, Le Cellar has dedicated a lot of its time to have the largest selection of charcuterie, cheese and antipasti of any wine bar/restaurant in London. They have premium quality charcuterie coming from the smallest farmers in France, Italy and Spain. They serve rare Kintoa ham from the remotest part of the basque country, duck breast saucisson from Les Landes or venison saucisson from the Lorraine territory to name a few. They aim to serves well-researched, fine, real farmer products. Le Cellar also have a comprehensive cheese selection, mostly from French producers. Whereas you are looking for a nutty ewe semi hard, a poignant Plaisir de Chablis (washed with the famous wine) or a creamy goat cheese, you will always find something to accompany any wines on the list! Antipasti is their new addition to the menu. About ten different marinated vegetables and a choice of olives from South of France or Sicily, in a tapenade paste or on their own. WINES Le Cellar offers over one hundred artisan wines selected from small producers from all around the world. Most of the wines are organic, biodynamic or natural. They also have an authentic wine shop (in the form of a wine cellar) where they offer 50% off all wines to take-away. HOT FOOD To compliment the wines, Le Cellar serves comforting classic French dishes all year round such as escargots, duck confit, cassoulet, Mediterranean fish stew and the signature dish: Le beef bouguignon. Some of the richer dishes are replaced in summer with a selection of salad. Keeping with the French style, there is a salad landaise (with duck confit and gizzard), a classic nicoise or even a lyonnaise salad with potatoes and bacon. ABOUT THE FOUNDERS Le Cellar was co-founded in November 2018 by wine buyer and sommelier, Antonin Charlier, and former award-winning TV producer, Simon Maniora Antonin Charlier, co-founder states: "We are childhood best friends from Burgundy, France - the best red wine region of France. It has always been our childhood dream to open a wine bar together. And, now it's happening. We want to bring the joys and tastes of growing up near the vineyards straight to London." "We have about 15 wines by the glass and always encourage our customer to try different wines before choosing, this is a unique feature that a cosy wine bar like ours can offer to enhance the patrons' experience. Charlier has previously worked at Michelin starred restaurants for almost 13 years in London, including 6 years at the Club Gascon in Farrington and the 5* Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge. After a start in catering in London, Maniora moved to TV Production, helping rebrand ITV and producing the Channel 4 Paralympics campaign. Simon Maniora, co-founder, states: "Le Cellar is a casual place to nibble on very good products around a very good glass of wine.
