Lauded London restaurant wins award for serving red wine

London restaurant and wine bar Noble Rot won a ‘Small Plate’ award for ‘Red-Wine Serving Restaurant’, at the World Restaurant Awards in Paris. The awarding body’s Instagram account praised the acclaimed Lamb’s Conduit Street restaurant as being “a driving force in making wine bars cool again, without falling into the trap of championing white over red.” ‘Small Plates’ is the category intended to be fun and tongue-in-cheek, with ‘Big Plates’ the more serious awards. Other winners in the awards that were created to improve diversity and integrity in the restaurant world include decorated chefs Alain Ducasse and Alain Passard, and two-Michelin-starred Mugaritz.
