Looking for a place to improve your knowledge of your libations? Look no further. Named after the device used to extract juice from crushed grapes, Praelum is one of the few places that has been continuously lauded by Wine & Dine Magazine for their excellent wine list. There is also a selection of cheeses and other dishes for diners’ pairings.

With a walk-in cellar home to over a thousand bottles of carefully procured wines and a bottle list that changes weekly, this is one place that truly knows its grapes. Wines are sold by the glass using the Enomatic and Coravin wine preservation systems, which minimises spoilage of the wine. The knowledgeable sommeliers are also able to advise diners and make recommendations for different palates.

Diners can pair their choice of wine with farmhouse cheese platters and truffle honey. The tarte flambee is another good option, and comes with a range of premium toppings, including roma tomatoes and gruyere cheese. For something a little moreish, opt for the Stockyard Wagyu Ribeye. The fresh cut of beef is cooked to your liking and slathered in a rich beef demi glace sauce which gives the dish a strong flavour without overpowering the taste of the meat. (Jun 2018)
