Wine Box

Ribeira


Wine crates turn the interior into quite a feature at this uber-hip, black-walled wine bar, with a good buzz and some 450 (at the last count) wines on the menu, some of which are available by the glass. Petiscos pair nicely with these. Service teeters on the indifferent, however, and the newfangled tablet menu can be hard to get the hang of.
