Somm Wine Bar & Bistro is an oenophile’s playground perched on Princes Wharf with harbour views as sublime as its cellar. With over 80 wines by the glass (thanks to clever enomatic technology), Somm lets you taste your way through some of the country’s most revered wines, guided by expert sommeliers who make even newcomers feel at ease. The food is designed to pair: creamy chicken liver parfait to smear on brioche, truffle risotto that sings with a bold Barolo, and bite-sized goat cheese beignets that beg for a sip of bubbly. The atmosphere is upmarket yet unpretentious, filled with the gentle buzz of clinking glasses and satisfied sighs. If you’re looking for a place where wine takes centre stage without overshadowing a fantastic meal, Somm is it.
