Fontella's Summer Residency at Bottle + Rye in Brixton

Monkfish carpaccio

Fontella - aka young chefs James and George - are in the kitchen at the Bottle & Rye bar in Brixton for the summer, serving Tuesdays to Saturdays with a great menu of small plates, freshly cooked from the best produce.  They serve in the evenings, except for Saturdays when they are open from lunchtime, but with a choice of sandwiches - made to their same exacting standards - until the main menu appears in the evening.

The food is great, and they create a fun vibe in the bar.  They love their music - 60s R&B singer Fontella Bass is the inspiration for their name - and you can also expect to hear lots of other great tunes.

"James and George are a duo who first crossed paths in primary school and then later joined forces again in a pub kitchen where they discovered their shared passion for food. They previously worked in restaurants including : Chez Bruce, Trullo and Lita. ​

Fontella embraces a nomadic spirit, offering a European small-plate menu that reflects a nose-to-tail ethos, celebrating the whole ingredient with bold, thoughtful cooking.

Here for the summer — swing by for delicious food, great wine, and terrace vibes that complete the Bottle + Rye experience."
