107 Wine Shop & Bar

Oysters topped with fermented brassicas set a daring tone at 107 Wine Shop & Bar, where the menu celebrates the intersection of raw ingredients and controlled acidity. This intimate Clapton establishment utilizes a pair of induction hobs to execute high-concept small plates that defy the constraints of its tiny kitchen. The fried chicken wings, stuffed with a rich, earthy ceps paste, offer a shattering, crispy exterior that gives way to a succulent, umami-laden center. A deep-fried skate schnitzel follows, served with a vibrant herb sauce that cuts through the richness of the golden batter. The aroma of funky, natural wines fills the air, complementing the tangy profile of lamb sweetbreads paired with cooked plums. Technique is paramount here, from the precise fermentation of seasonal vegetables to the delicate poaching of seafood. The result is a convivial dining experience where technical rigor meets a relaxed, neighborhood atmosphere, emphasizing seasonal purity and bold flavor balances.
