Droit au Bouchon at Zédel

Vin Préféré

When it comes to dining in France, the experience is as much about the wine as it is about the food. In a country known for its rich culinary heritage and world-class vineyards, it’s no surprise that wine plays a central role at the table

Droit au Bouchon literally means “the right to cork.” In French restaurants, this refers to the practice of allowing guests to bring their own wine – a gesture of hospitality that encourages patrons to pair their vin préféré with local cuisine.

 

Droit au Bouchon at Zédel

Inspired by this French tradition, Brasserie Zédel is proud to introduce Droit au Bouchon as a new Monday night ritual in the heart of London’s Soho.
Each Monday from 7:30pm, diners are invited to bring their own bottle of wine to enjoy with Zédel’s menu of timeless French classics – with no corkage fee. Whether it’s a treasured vintage from your collection or a personal favourite from your local wine shop, you’re welcome to share it at the table, just as you might in a Parisian brasserie.
