A cozy Fitzrovia wine bar with standout, knowledgeable hospitality and an adventurous wine list; food is tasty but portion sizes and pricing divide opinion.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
The Remedy earns its A- grade as a wine-first destination with exceptional wine guidance and welcoming, knowledgeable service that regulars clearly value. Solid food quality in Italian-tinged small plates complements rather than anchors the experience, though modest portions relative to price and tight quarters with occasional comfort issues prevent grade A territory. Best suited for wine enthusiasts willing to prioritize curation and atmosphere over culinary ambition.
Restaurant Summary
Tucked on a quiet Fitzrovia street, The Remedy feels warm and intimate with a gentle buzz that ramps up as glasses are poured. Guests rave about the knowledgeable wine guidance and the sense that regulars and staff know each other. One diner summed it up: "They found us the perfect bottle and made the evening feel easy." The cooking leans Italian-tinged small plates meant to complement wine rather than steal the show—think charcuterie, buffalo mozzarella with figs, and a hearty short rib or seafood pasta. It is produce-driven comfort over theatrics, with portions that some find modest for the price. If you come for the wine first and food as a willing co-star, you will likely be happy. For families, this is an adult-forward spot. There is limited appeal for kids and not much in the way of soft drinks beyond basics. Picky eaters may struggle; adventurous teens who enjoy simple pasta or cheese plates could be fine, but most families will fare better elsewhere.
