In Vino Veritas

Not taking into account a name - In Vino Veritas - that lacks any kind of imagination, everything else about this place is well thought through. It's interior is warm and comfy, menu short and inexpensive, service friendly and helpful and having a actual well stocked wine store attached to it is not bad either.

Finally somebody figured out that opening a new place with uppedy design and we have the most expensive menu choices in town , may not be the soundest business strategy.


The food here is simple, but good. Maybe could use a little spice and flavoring from herbs, but excellent wine pairings make up for chefs little forgets.

On top of the convenience and joy of being able to cross the hall to pick the nights wine choice, this place is one of the very few that serves their reds at the right temperature.

I had Sliced Filet Mignon in wine sauce and a salad, not sure why it was sliced, but it was tender and cost 150EEK. Nowadays a price like that makes you do a double take, you just can't believe your eyes.


What made the night even more memorable was a bottle of Pommard Albert Bichot 2003 and a nice finishing touch Chateau Le Crock St. Estephe 2002. No no I had friends helping me ,even though I probably could have accomplished this without them.

Good wine, good friends, a homey place with pleasant service, you just can't ask for much more. Oh yeah and the food is not pricey - perfecto.
