What better way to catch up with friends than over wine, small plates and good vibes?

What better way to catch up with friends than over wine, small plates and good vibes? Enter @curio.cafebar

I was kindly invited to an event at Curio where they gave a sneak peek of their new spring menu, featuring a selection of small plates alongside new wines and cocktails. It was such a lovely evening with a really chilled, casual atmosphere, perfect for relaxing, sharing plates and catching up.

We tried a range of taster dishes from the new menu paired with a delicious wine that complemented the tasting plates perfectly. My highlights had to be the burrata with olive oil, chilli & sea salt (an obvious favourite for me), the crispy potatoes with smoky tomato & wild garlic aioli, and the crispy artichokes with blue cheese ranch. And of course the incredible charcuterie board from @curingrebels the perfect sharing plate to enjoy with a glass of wine.

I really love this place, it has such a homely, intimate feel that makes it ideal for evenings with friends. The staff are lovely and the food and drinks are great and also has live DJ night on Friday evenings if you are looking for a more lively atmosphere to celebrate the weekend. It’s also right next to the @dukeofyorks Cinema, making it the perfect spot before or after a film to turn a cinema trip into an even better evening. Definitely one to visit if you’re in the area

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
