This July, Bayswater welcomed a charming new addition to its dining scene: the opening of Sol’s Wine Bar in London. Located at 25 Leinster Terrace, Sol’s is the latest venture from the creative minds behind the Fort Road Hotel in Margate and the Foreign Exchange newsagents-cum-coffee shop in Marylebone. With a focus on the flavours of the Iberian Peninsula, Sol’s is set to become a favourite spot for locals and visitors.
Sol’s Wine Bar combines the casual elegance of a neighbourhood wine bar with the rich culinary traditions of Spain and Portugal. The establishment is more than just a bar. It also functions as a delicatessen and bottle shop, offering a carefully curated selection of wines alongside various Mediterranean small plates and deli items.
The interior of Sol’s Wine Bar is designed to be warm and inviting. It features natural wood tones, rustic decor, and counter seating extending to the street. This allows guests to soak up the neighbourhood’s ambience. This design creates a cosy and intimate atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed evening with friends or a quiet glass of wine after work.
During the day, Sol’s transforms into a delicatessen. It offers sandwiches, salads, and a selection of pantry goods that can be enjoyed on-site or taken away. This versatility makes Sol’s a valuable addition to Bayswater. The place caters to the daytime crowd looking for a quick bite and the evening clientele seeking a more leisurely experience.
Bayswater has been experiencing a renaissance in recent years, with new openings bringing fresh energy to the area. Sol’s Wine Bar is part of this wave of change. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or simply someone looking for a new place to unwind, the place promises a welcoming and delicious experience.
Sol’s Wine Bar London Menu
The food menu at Sol’s celebrates the simple, vibrant flavours that define Iberian cuisine. Guests can indulge in tapas and small plates, which are perfect for sharing. Taste Jamón Ibérico, the prized Spanish ham, served thinly sliced, allowing its rich, nutty flavour to shine. Boquerones are marinated white anchovies, a classic Spanish dish. They come served with olive oil and parsley, offering a fresh, tangy taste.
Find Pan con Tomate, a traditional Catalan dish featuring rustic bread rubbed with ripe tomatoes and garlic and drizzled with olive oil. Spicy Spanish chorizo sausages cooked in red wine are also on the menu and provide a warm, hearty flavour. Sol’s offers simple desserts for those with a sweet tooth. The menu includes Tarta de Santiago, a traditional almond cake from Galicia, and Pastéis de Nata, the famous Portuguese custard tarts.
Sol’s Wine Bar is particularly proud of its extensive wine list. The selection includes a range of wines from Spain and Portugal, focusing on lesser-known varietals with unique flavour profiles. Some featured wines include Albariño, a crisp and refreshing white wine from Galicia, and Tempranillo, a robust red wine from the Rioja region.
Guests can taste Vinho Verde, a light and effervescent wine from Portugal, perfect for pairing with seafood and lighter dishes. To finish, there is a selection of dry and sweet sherries, ideal for sipping alongside tapas.
In addition to the Iberian selections, Sol’s also offers a few carefully chosen wines from local British vineyards.

What a journey this guy’s been on. I had the chance to sit down with Chef Sameer Taneja, the executive chef at Benares in Berkeley Square. You’d expect a Michelin-starred chef with his CV to be all puffed up with self-importance, but not Sameer. He’s not the type to humble brag with his hand earnestly resting on his chest, telling you ‘how grateful and humbled’ he is in that way that makes you cringe. No, […]
