Description

You’d be hard pushed to find a restaurant with a greater focus on wine than Muru. This cosy little bistro is home to quirky touches such as a wine bottle chandelier, a bar made from old wine boxes and a raised ‘cellar’ – and that’s not to mention the nearby wine bar they run. Simple, tasty dishes are on-hand to accompany the excellent wine list, and the sommelier’s pairing suggestions are spot-on.

Guests frequently praise the exquisite dishes, particularly the perch in the tasting menu, and the intimate, lively atmosphere. Manager Andrea is noted for his engaging hospitality and deep wine knowledge. However, criticisms highlight small portion sizes and perceived poor value for money. Some reviewers reported service inconsistencies, including spills, arrogant staff, and a lack of written menus in English, which hindered ordering. While many enjoyed the high-quality ingredients and professional sommelier service, others found the experience disappointing due to portion control and service lapses.
