French wine bar, Le Bouchon, has recently opened in Blackheath, replacing the past it's sell-by…read moredate Curry Garden restaurant. Apart from the shape of the room, you'd be hard pressed to notice any similarities as the new management have done a complete re-fit. It looks and feels exactly like you'd expect from a European wine bar, with exposed bricks, wooden tables and a chalk board showing the current specials. On the warm Friday evening we visited, the bar was busy with South East London locals keen to try out the new offering, but not to the point where we couldn't get a table. They also had a couple of outside tables, meaning even smokers can enjoy a glass of wine without having to step outside. Service was on the slow side, with our water and bread, olive oil and toasted almonds being brought out almost immediately, followed by a 5 minute wait for the bottle of wine. The waiter was apologetic, and the owner did admit they needed to improve their service speed, so I'm sure it won't be an on-going problem. They have an extensive wine list, with mostly French offerings, along with a few other international selections. Being French there's no choice of glass sizes, it's either a 175ml glass, 500ml carafe or a full bottle. Prices were on the higher side (starting at £18 for the cheapest bottles and quickly escalating as you progress down the list), but I think it's a reflection on the quality. The £31 bottle of sauvignon/chardonnay blend we had was excellent. We didn't try the food apart from the bread, which was good and according to the menu, is from the French bakery next door. There were set meat and cheese platters available, or you could go "a la carte" and make your own selection. I'm not particularly a wine bar person, instead preferring a beer at the pub, but Le Bouchon is somewhere I'll definitely return.

The pub was really busy... we had trouble getting in through the entrance as there were a lot of people having Christmas drinky poos. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to get a table, but they had a couple, so we lucked out! The menu is seasonal, so what we had may not be on there, but I certainly hope they consider offering the dish I had again. I ordered the seabass with mussels and prawns with a white wine sauce and couscous. Mr. Snarky had one of their specials, the Lamb and Carrot pie. It was quite loud in the place, but it definitely feels cozy... like a place only the locals go to! My dish was really lovely, although the only complaint was that the lovely sauce was only around the side of the plate, so some of the mussels had it, but the fish could have used some of the sauce. The sauce was beautiful! And Mr. Snarky's only complaint was that the pie wasn't a full pie... it was a ramekin of filling with pastry on top. Forget the campaign for real ale, we need the campaign for real pie! We did indulge in dessert... and we were so predictable. Me with the Sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream and Mr. Snarky with the cheesecake. Although he did ask if the crumble came with custard and because it did not, he chose the cheesecake. You can't have crumble without custard! Anyway, the whole dinner was really lovely and I think we agreed we would be happy to come back again.

What was formerly an English restaurant was gutted out and turned into a the world's smallest wine bar much to the confusion of everybody in the area but, if you build it, they will come.
