Lady of the Grapes London Bridge

An exciting new addition to the Borough Market scene

Parisian restaurateur and wine expert Carole Bryon has opened modern French bistro, Lady of the Grapes London Bridge and Forbidden Fruit, its underground speakeasy-style wine bar.

The new restaurant and wine bar is found in the Grade-II listed Victorian Menier Chocolate Factory, which dates back to the 1870s, and is the proverbial 'stone's throw' from Borough Market.

Lady of the Grapes has quickly established itself as a go-to place for fine wining and dining when visiting the iconic Borough Market and/or London Bridge area.
