About this menu
Basil & Grape is an Italian restaurant on George St in Croydon, with food and drink in equal measure. The food starts with Nibbles and Bruschetta, including focaccia bread, then moves on to boards, Salads, Pizza and Desserts. Pizza includes Margherita and Reggio Calabria. The drinks run from white wines, Rosé and red wines to Sparkling, Spritz, Classic Cocktails, Hot Drinks and Beers & Ciders. Wines are sorted by style, from Fresh and Crisp White Wines to Rich and Intense Red Wines.
For a smaller bite, Nibbles and Bruschetta or Salads keep an order simple, while Pizza suits a fuller main. Desserts and Hot Drinks bring a meal to a close. Before eating, Spritz offers an Aperol Spritz, Classic Cocktails includes an Espresso Martini, and Beers & Ciders has Peroni on draught. Anyone choosing wine can narrow things down by style, moving from the fresher whites through Rosé to the fuller reds.
