Edwin's French wine bar and restaurant to open in London
drinks food
Edwin's French Wine Bar & Restaurant will open on the site of a former pizza restaurant on Phipp Street in Shoreditch on 1 October with 22-year-old French chef Yoan Mebkhout, who has experience at Leon de Lyon and Paul Bocuse's Brasserie Agensson, appointed head chef.
The 16-cover bar will list French wines and will serve snacks such as charcuterie and cheese while its adjoining 40-cover restaurant will serve classic Lyonnais and regional French dishes such as Salade Lyonnaise, saucisson brioche, cassoulet, quenelle de brochet, andouillette, ile flottante and tarte aux pralines.
Chan, a former vice president at the advertising agency J.Walter-Thompson in Hong, moved to London 10 years ago and was keen to open a French wine bar in the capital, but wanted to further his knowledge of the product before going ahead here.
"I had always wanted to own a wine bar, but I thought without any experience in this trade it would not be wise to launch in London first," he told BigHospitality, "so I went to Lyon to improve my French and to learn everything I could about French wine.
Despite having no major ambitions for his hospitality business, Chan said he would consider taking his French wine bar and restaurant concept elsewhere in the future.
