Aalia Wine Room

"Wine without rules" is the mantra here, and this sleek bar offers a diversity of pours – from the lavish fizz of vintage Champagne to alcohol-free pinot gris crafted from white tea, orange blossom and passionfruit by local producer Bynomeans. The drinks list showcases a blend of approaches, from limited-run vintages by Marani winery (its Satrapezo 10 Qvevri is partially aged in clay vessels – a Georgian method spanning 8000 years) to sauvignon blanc by Hai Anh, a tech-savvy engineer who launched her Torch Bearer winery in Tasmania in 2017. As a spin-off to nearby Aalia, this wine bar shares the award-winning restaurant's Middle Eastern focus: you can order steak frites with Cafe de Cairo butter and labneh with pomegranate molasses and sumac onion here, as well as favourites from Aalia's menu, like fried eggplant with spiced tomato and medjool dates with caramelised chocolate and ashta (clotted cream).
