Absolutely delicious food and delightful service. Can thoroughly recommend for a great night out or even in our case a pre theatre dinner. Tonight there was also a great vibe and atmosphere l guess due to the fact it’s nearly Christmas.

This was my second visit and both trips were excellent. I have also been to the original restaurant on St John Street and both are excellent but different. Bread and Wine is slightly more informal that St John Street but like the parent has excellent food, wine and service.
