Independent wine specialist, 28°-50° is opening its new Oxford Circus Wine Workshop & Kitchen on Wednesday 11 May.
The new venue is situated on Market Place, a prime central London location which is just a stone’s throw from Oxford Street.
Situated on the former Côte Brasserie site, the popular 28°-50° is opening ahead of the height of summer and will offer al fresco dining and drinking by way of a sun soaked terrace, allowing for visitors to relish the long evenings with the finest wine and modern European fare. Inside, the wine workshop will offer 120 covers and a private dining area, seating up to 25 guests.
In keeping with its sister locations, 28°-50° Oxford Circus will serve a thoughtfully curated award-winning wine selection. Led by the Group Head Sommelier, Jules Bensacq, visitors should expect to sample unique wines from the ever-evolving wine list, which offers a range of red, white and rosé, by the glass, carafe and bottle.
Only serving wines approved by the team, top launch picks at Oxford Circus include the Albariño ‘Tambora’ and the Fleurie Domaine des Nugues, naturally accompanied by bottles and magnums of ‘Brut Majeur’ Ayala Champagne. For those looking for a post-work ‘pick me up’ the cocktail list will include a Clover Club, Sicilian Sour and Hemingway Daiquiri.
Group Head Chef Julien Baris will continue to oversee the seasonally changing à la carte menu, working closely with Jules to ensure the perfect culinary and wine pairings.
Hero dishes, synonymous with 28°-50° remain and include the truffle arancini, oysters and burrata whilst diners will delight in the delicious moules marinière, octopus ceviche with red onion, fennel, jalapeños & aguachile and the succulent steak frites.
Diners will also be able to opt in for the wine pairing offering, choosing from the Discover package (£19 for 2 courses) or the Prestige package (£39 for 2 courses) whereby the charming and knowledgeable team will guide you through an exploration of distinct flavours and palates.
The latest location for the award-winning wine specialists’ restaurant joins Marylebone, Chelsea, South Kensington and the most recent 28-50 by Night as the newest member of the privately-owned and operated Riviera Restaurants and Luxury group, founded by Richard Green.
Emiliano Isufi, Managing Director, commented, 'We are delighted to have secured such a prime new location in central London - with our largest wine bar and extensive al fresco terrace, we look forward to bringing the essence of a French Summer to Oxford Circus - my team cannot wait to welcome you and guide you through our extensive wine list and new additions to our à la carte menu.”
