Bambini Wine Room

When a tiny 40 seat establishment wins the best Wine Bar of the Year in Gourmet Traveller Magazine's 2007 Awards, you know they must be doing something right.

Located in a heritage listed sandstone building opposite Hyde Park, every effort is made to maximise its space and appeal. The decor is warm, clubby and inviting.

It offers customers a seasonal, but beautifully assembled wine list and its European ambience draws heavily on a Parisian style bistro theme. Always happy to offer recommendations, the friendly and enthusiastic staff makes this a relaxed place in which to enjoy a glass or two of a fine local grape. The food is well worth investigation ranging from delicate tasting plates to heartier fare like frites and chorizo.
