Isla

At Isla, inside The Standard, London, the wine list speaks quietly but confidently. Low-intervention bottles from growers who work with care, from pét-nat and skin-contact to classic reds, all chosen for texture, energy and drinkability. The food follows suit. Seasonal, generous plates made for sharing, whole fish over flame, roast chicken, properly sourced steaks, and dishes that land when they’re ready. Add a bottle, settle into the terrace, and let King’s Cross fade into the background.
