The European

  • Restaurant
  • Fine dining

The European takes lovers of wine and good food on a culinary trip to old-world Europe with a mix of cuisines from France, Italy, Spain and beyond.

Focusing on the relaxed, warm style of Europe's traditional cafes and wine bars, the restaurant offers great service, exceptional food and superb coffee.

From champagne and caviar breakfasts to exceptional steaks hand-cut daily by their in-house butcher, quality and simplicity are the main objectives here.

The wine list is entirely European, with a focus on the classic regions of France, Italy and Spain, and every entry is available for take away at their sibling, City Wine Shop.

Other restaurants in the group include the Supper Club, Butcher's Diner, the Spring Street Grocer and Siglo to name a few.
