At Grape Central, the menu is short, but the evenings are long and intoxicating (no doubt thanks to the 300 varieties of wine on offer). It’s more of a wine bar, but it feels like a charming little French restaurant where everyone is on first-name terms. Krisi is the girl behind the bar who’ll pour you the perfect wine to match your current mood, and she’s almost certain to win you over with her beaming smile. The food is more of an accompaniment to the wine, but it is delicious and prepared with thought, curiosity and a lot of love. There are often wine events, so be sure to keep an eye on their social media.
