Neighbourhood dining room · Wandsworth
The kind of dining room nobody builds any more — on purpose
A short menu chalked up each morning, back from the market. Wines from growers we know by their first name. The price of coffee at the bar hasn't moved in three years.
The house
Behind the worn bar and the leather banquettes, The Larder stands for something simple: a short menu, market produce, and service that takes its time.
The bread comes from the bakery across the street, the vegetables from the Tuesday market two streets away, and the menu changes each morning depending on what Sylvain found.
