Silex · Natural Wine Bar · London E8
Low intervention,high opinion.
A small natural wine bar on Broadway Market.
Open Tuesday to Sunday · 44 Broadway Market
Silex opened on Broadway Market in February 2022. We have a counter with eight stools, four tables, and one list of about 140 wines that changes constantly. Most of the bottles come from small growers in France, Italy, Slovenia, and the Jura. Some of them come from places you haven’t heard of. We cook a small menu of cold plates, snacks, and one or two hot things depending on who is in the kitchen that night. There is bread. The bread is very good.
— Helen and Tomás, owners
Tuesday’s glass: 2021 Loire chenin, unfiltered.
The bread. Always the bread.
Eight stools at the counter. We recommend the counter.
