I sat outside on the awninged-in terrace on a beautiful late-summer night for a late dinner here…read more I was dying for some good wine, so I Yelped for "wine bar" and this place came up near me, so I headed straight over. The service, in fluent English, was friendly and attentive, and my meat lasagna (the daily special) was very tasty, creamy, and amply-proportioned.
This restaurant seems much more Italian to me [menu titles in Italian too] than the "tapas bar" designation here, and I must say that I was greatly disappointed at the "vinbar" part of the restaurant's name. While they definitely serve wine, by the glass and the bottle, the selection is definitely not better than any ordinary restaurant, and there are not any particularly intriguing or unique bottles on offer - the list skews mostly Italian, but with several Spanish and French selections too. For sparklers, they had Prosecco, Cava, and Champagne; Italian reds included Chianti, Amarone, Barbera, Cabernet, Valpolicella, and whites a Pinot Grigio and a Soave, and some selections from other countries. It was quite surprising to me for a wine bar to serve wines without any mention of the vintages, too. That's a big no-no in my book.
The glass of Chianti was 109NOK and the lasagna 149NOK, for a total of about $32.50USD. If you're looking for a decent, warm meal, Eger delivers. But if very good wine is important to you, you will be disappointed, as I was.
