Momofuku Seiōbo is to be congratulated for its carefully curated wine list that presents the diner with food-friendly styles which complement the unique flavours of Paul Carmichael’s Caribbean dishes. The list is contained in size yet diverse in nature. The wines are organised by style, giving subtle guidance on texture and palate weight.

You’ll find plenty of examples with lively, bright acidity. There are a few muscadets and also a range of chenins of varying weight and origin, as well as gringet from the Savoie and a respectable number of rieslings. If you are after something light, textural and savoury there are many delicious wines to choose from, as well as some skin contact and amber styles.

There is also an excellent number of light reds, which work particularly well with the food, as well as an appropriate number of structured, savoury styles. It is clear that every label has been carefully chosen to ensure the diner has a stunning food and wine experience.

The pairings with the nine-course tasting menu are eclectic and original with a mix of spirits and wine. You can also opt for a smaller five-beverage selection, and there’s a fabulous non-alcoholic pairing option as well.
