Dalston's definitive natural wine bar. Absurdly deep list, tinned fish, charcuterie, cheese. Standing room and a few tables. Walk-in only, gets busy late.

Beautiful bottle shop-bar hybrid with a gorgeous back garden. Exceptional Austrian selection plus broader European natural wines. Great for a lazy afternoon glass.

Sunny yellow awning on a quiet De Beauvoir street. Grab a bottle from the shelves or drink by the glass with charcuterie and tinned fish. Relaxed, unpretentious.

From the Palomar Group wine director and former Noma GM. Pan-European list, smart small plates, great energy. Walking distance from the house.

Victorian warehouse turned natural wine bar with rotating chef residencies. Plenty of orange wine (obviously), plus reds and whites. Great vibe.

Knowledgeable staff, old-world French bottles with a contemporary twist. Great tastings and deep producer knowledge. Good bridge if you want to buy bottles to bring home.

Buzzy little spot off Blackstock Road. Describe your preference, they'll pick something perfect. Uncomplicated cooking alongside. A bit further out but worth the trip.

15-min walk from the house. Food stalls on Saturdays, but the surrounding cafés and shops are great any day. Good for morning coffee and a wander.

Dalston's own street market. African and Turkish food stalls, fruit and veg, total neighbourhood character. Right by the house.

Downstairs from your Monday night dinner — a small, curated natural wine cellar space. Worth popping back to if you hit it off on night one.

Sliver of a bar that hums from late afternoon. Blackboard wines — Jura, Auvergne, Loire, Beaujolais. Excellent sardines and charcuterie. Industry crowd, zero fuss. Get there early for a window perch.

Candlelit, tiny, perfect. Short natural-leaning list, tinned fish, marinated artichokes, burrata. Loire and Ardèche by the glass. Arrive before 6 PM to snag a spot.

Narrow wine bar, killer natural selection (Ganevat, Pierre Rousse). Oeufs mayo, simple pasta, smoked fish. Perfect pre-dinner glass near Canal Saint-Martin. Open Wed-Sun evenings.

Standing-room energy in the 10th. Natural wine in every colour. Creative bar food — tongue tonnato, grilled octopus, fried tartare wontons with wasabi. Arrive early.

Eclectic France-to-Italy list, pitch-perfect small plates. No reservations, lines move fast. Staff will steer you kindly. Great for a walk-in dinner when plans fall through.

Lively, unpretentious, wonderful sommelier. Fine labels alongside easy-drinking cuvées. Starter buffet, bistro mains. Now run by the Le Mary Céleste / Candelaria duo.

Natural wines, tuna tartare, spaghetti with clams. Young somms in matching tees. DJ takes over at night. Good for after Chasse et de la Nature.

Giant wall of vinyl, energetic atmosphere. Skip the wine list — tell the somm what you're after. Spinach calzones, grilled corn with pecorino. Kitchen closes 11 PM, wine keeps going.

Already on the Sunday plan, but Thursday (7 AM – 2:30 PM) works too. Oysters shucked to order with white wine. 100+ vendors.

On the departure day plan, but stop by any day for Moroccan couscous, Japanese bento, Italian, or crêpes. Small, charming, never empty.

Yves Camdeborde's walk-in-only counter. Menus hang from the ceiling. Croquettes, jamón, natural wines by the glass. No seats, no reservations, pure fun.

Small plates of raw and cooked seafood, natural wine. No reservations ever. Good late-lunch or early-dinner option when you're near Bastille.
