Went to Olesya Wine bar last night with the girls, we just wanted something light to eat to start a night of festive drinking! We had a large couch area downstairs, cosy and private. We then ordered a few bottles, sparkling wine, pinot grigio and the masi, all of which we got seconds of, and all delish, but nothing on the food that was about to land. We ordered two platters to share which came with breads and crackers. The Deluxe Platter & the Seafood Platter, Including a bit of everything above. Farmhouse cheese, Cured Meats, Sausages, Hams, Pate, Cheese and Chicken Roulettes, Olives, Pesto Dip. Salmon Gravadlax, Warn King Prawns, Balik Tsar Nicolaj, Herring St. Petersburg & Red Caviar Blinis. The bill wasn’t outrageous, for 8 of us it came to less than 40euro each. Will definitely be returning!

We went for the late meal after the play at Abbey. I just love this place! Food was superb! Really friendly service. Pity I could not taste the wine. I hope the next time and very soon.

I've passed this place a few times and it from outside it looks nice. Today a friend and I went for lunch after she saw the 'soup & sandwich for 9euro" sign. The sandwich choices were meatball, rosemary chicken or goatcheese & veggie. The soups were vegetable and mushroom. Instead of soup you can choose potatoes for 1euro extra. I wanted a perrier (which btw came to 3euro for a small bottle, a bit much methinks) and my friend wanted a sprite to which the waiter replied " we don't have soda." "oh you dont?" i said. " no...this is a wine bar." excuse me, gaston. she had a 3euro orange juice instead. when lunch came it looked nice even though my wooden serving board was cracked in half. it's the same as serving a drink in a chipped glass, to me. my friend had the chicken sandwich and i had the goatcheese. i gotta say wet lettuce and soft cheese don't go well together as it was one white, drippy, mess. it tasted nice but i hated having to choose between eating it quickly before it fell apart or resorting to fork & knife. the potatoes were 'bland' my friend said and i would have to agree, serve those puppies with some lemon perhaps. aside from the special, the menu is limited. perhaps it's an afernoon thing ( we went at 3pm) but nothing really jumped out at either of us. nice decor, nice enough service and nice food but i dont think i need to visit again
