WIN Lunch At Bistro du Vin Soho & One Night Stay At Malmaison London

June 30, 2011 by cheriecity

Bistro du Vin Clerkenwell has quickly become an established part of the Clerkenwell dining scene and now Soho gets its very own Bistro du Vin on Dean Street.

Bistro du Vin focuses on simple modern British dishes using locally-sourced ingredients and the new Soho restaurant features a delicatessen-style Cave à Fromage, showcasing over 70 varieties of cheese. Chérie City is a big fan of the Bistro du Vin burger and steaks, so prepare for a grilled meat feast (although there are some real treats for veggies too)

Tucked away on the cobbled Charterhouse Square, next to the historic Smithfield Market, Malmaison London is a stylish boutique hotel packed with character (its former incarnation was an asylum)!

Malmaison London is close to picturesque Clerkenwell and the Barbican and a short distance from the shops and museums in central London.

To celebrate Chérie City’s second birthday, one lucky reader will win a 3 course lunch at the brand new Bistro du Vin Soho and an overnight stay with breakfast at Malmaison London.

Hello, found your site from a #FF 🙂

Would be lovely if you could enter me please – this sounds like a fab treat!

Hmm, my favourite wine right now – probably a nice smooth Merlot, though will probably go pink when summer finally hits glasgow!

I love Malbec and you can never go wrong with Taittinger!

It’s so summery and lovely at the minute that my favourites have got to be a nice organic Californian rosé, something like Presidio’s 2009 Estate Syrah Rosé. Or perhaps a nice, chilled, crisp Greek white from Santorini. I am nothing if not precise (and I like to draw up my travel plans according to the proximity of boutique vineyards) 🙂

MY fave wine is St Emilion red. I know Bordeaux flavours are strong, but even in Summer it’s my fave drink!

Happy birthday to you! Love, love, love the website. My favourite wine for a special occasion (like a second birthday?!) is Billecart Salmon Rose. If I’m out for dinner it’s usually a Pouilly Fume and you can’t beat a nice Argentian Malbec if you fancy red.

Reply Samantha July 21, 2011 at 6:41 pm

Its got to be a good Rioja!

I love a late autumn harvest verdelho (Australian)

Reply Kelly Koya July 26, 2011 at 10:21 am

I was recently introduced to white rioja on a barman’s recommendation, and it really is lovely! It has been often slated, but it is lovely, and rich enough to accompany stronger tastes for those who might not be so keen on a red wine. It is dry, but a mile away from the blandness of pinot.
