Bar Von Der Fels
At a tiny spot where food and wine share the spotlight, a good list is to be expected. For a unique experience, hand yourself over to owners Will Trow and Thomas Dahlgren and let them pour something from their eclectic selection of open bottles.

Pigeonhole
Just as the restaurant menu changes often at this wine-and-snack bar, so too does the wine list. Setting it further apart is this spot’s focus on natural wines — those made with very few additives and interventions by the winemaker.

Teatro
With a massive cellar taking up the vaults of this one-time bank, Teatro has the right bottle for any wine desire. Some 10,000 bottles with about 800 labels are stored below the restaurant, ready to be enjoyed.
