1707 at Fortnum's

This David Collins-designed wine bar, in the revamped Fortnum & Mason near the Royal Academy, has wood-paneled walls that resemble a wine barrel. The menu from consulting chef Shaun Hill features gorgeous charcuterie and, of course, an excellent wine list, including Rieslings, Fortnum's own label claret and superb Chilean and South African bottles.

We loved: Charcuterie; smoked salmon tart.

Insider tip: For a $20 corkage fee, bottles from Fortnum’s adjoining shop are available at the bar.
