3. Hide
Wine Director and Master Sommelier, Piotr Pietras leads the large team at the much anticipated ‘wine lover’s Mecca’ brought to you by the minds behind Hedonism Wines and chef, Ollie Dabbous. Hide’s wine list opens with the words, “a corkscrew, a glass, a memory”. Formerly Fakhreldine (a restaurant named after a Lebanese prince) 85 Piccadilly has been re-oriented as a calibrated ‘wine lover’s Mecca connected by spiral staircase’ according to dynamic Wine Director, Piotr Pietras. With cork pillars, vine leaf plasterwork and the occasional bottle-shaped door, both of its restaurants and inventive cocktail bar, are a collaboration between Evgeny Chichvarkin and Tatiana Fokina, minds behind the nearby Hedonism Wines, chef, Ollie Dabbous (a protégé of Raymond Blanc), and mixologist, Oskar Kinberg.
