Sager + Wilde Paradise Row

One of those places is Paradise Row, a collection of hip bar restaurants housed in railway arches, one of which was taken over by Michael Sager and Charlotte Wilde in 2014 and is currently the sole proprietor. The pair, who spent a significant portion of their lives exploring vineyards all over the world, assembled an intimidatingly lengthy wine list that, happily, the employees and owners are both familiar with. The Saladini Pilastri Falerio from Marche, Italy, in case you're wondering, boldly answered my barrage of inquiries on the ideal white to pair with pork.

Despite the many drinks, the focus of this Sager + Wilde is primarily on the cuisine. The menu features British dishes with European accents thanks to the hiring of Sebastian Myers, formerly of Chiltern Firehouse. The grilled Iberico pork cut was a particular standout; served with black trumpets and hispi cabbage, each mouthful burst with salty-sour flavorings that were expertly balanced by the red apple jus's sweetness.
