About Luna Wine Bar

Luna Wine Bar is a wine bar at 36 Shad Thames in London that also runs a bottle shop and a kitchen. The wine list changes regularly, and the team and a sommelier make recommendations and suggest wine pairings. Food arrives as small plates, with a seasonal, product-led menu that changes frequently. The kitchen turns out potato dinner rolls, and a cheese plate sits on the menu for sharing. The kitchen is open and visible from the dining area, and a small upstairs dining area gives the bar a second space to eat. Luna Wine Bar comes from the same owners as Legare, the Italian restaurant nearby.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the small plates and the wine pairings, with the potato dinner rolls named repeatedly as a standout alongside the seafood dishes. Specific items praised include the marinated squid, the brill with ajo blanco, the braised lamb shank on toast, the pork, and a steak special with a plum reduction. A cheese plate and a large chocolate mousse close several meals. Diners describe staff and a sommelier who suggested wines for individual dishes, with an orange wine and a Spanish red called out by name. The room is called intimate and cozy, with an open kitchen, good music, and a buzz, though one reviewer finds it a bit dark. The main caveat is portion size: several stress the plates are small and not full meal portions, with one advising not to be shy about ordering if hungry. One also notes that the open kitchen in a small room can leave clothes smelling of food. Several recount a date night or group evening that ended with a second bottle and a shared cheese plate.

    “Luna Wine Bar is truly a hidden gem in London! From the moment we arrived until the end of the evening, the service was exceptional, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, and the wine selection perfectly complemented every dish. You can really tell they care about quality and the overall dining experience. The atmosphere is intimate, cosy, and perfect for a relaxed date night or a catch-up with friends. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food, great wine, and outstanding hospitality, I highly recommend Luna Wine Bar. We can’t wait to come back! ⭐️🍷”

    “I visited Luna Wine Bar last Friday for a date night, and it turned out to be such a lovely evening. I arrived before my date and was given the option of sitting either in the mezzanine area upstairs or in the main dining room downstairs. After a little thought, I chose downstairs, and I am glad I did. The restaurant is intimate and cozy, yet thoughtfully laid out so that tables do not feel crowded together. Even when seated near other guests, there is still a sense of privacy. The staff were excellent throughout the evening—professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. One of the highlights was speaking with the sommelier, who took the time to understand my taste in wine and recommended a tasting of the Bodega Bodega Tinto, a Spanish red. It was excellent and paired beautifully with our meal. Once my date arrived, we ordered a bottle of the same wine along with the day's steak special, served with a delicious plum reduction and accompaniments. The steak was absolutely fantastic and cooked beautifully. As the evening progressed (and another bottle of wine appeared!), we decided to order a cheese platter, which was the perfect way to continue enjoying the evening. I also loved that the kitchen is visible from the dining area, allowing guests to watch the chefs at work. It adds a unique and engaging touch to the experience. Overall, Luna is a charming spot with excellent food, wonderful wine, and outstanding hospitality. I would absolutely return and happily recommend it to others.”
