If you're a wine lover seeking that perfect pour in a setting full of warmth and charm, Bistro Freddie in Shoreditch should be at the top of your list. This 45-cover gem from HAM Restaurants is a haven for those who appreciate thoughtfully curated wines, delectable seasonal food, and a quintessentially British yet unmistakably French atmosphere.

Located just a short walk from Shoreditch High Street and a stone’s throw from Liverpool Street Station, Bistro Freddie brings together the finest of British produce with a rich selection of French wine, all within a setting that balances elegance with unpretentious comfort.

A Wine List Crafted with Passion

At the heart of Bistro Freddie’s identity is a wine list that is much more than a collection of bottles—it’s a journey. Created by Alex Price, a seasoned industry expert whose early years were steeped in French wine culture, the list is an ode to the regions, varietals, and winemakers that make French wine so distinctive.

The philosophy? Keep it focused, honest, and incredibly drinkable. By honing in exclusively on French wines, Bistro Freddie has created an experience that allows guests to explore France’s most celebrated wine regions, without ever leaving East London.

Whether you're new to natural wines or a long-time enthusiast, you’ll find something to love. Think flinty, reductive Chenins from the Loire Valley, herbal, salty whites from Corsica, and a vibrant selection of bottles from the new wave winemakers of the Languedoc. Each wine tells its own story, not only of terroir and grape but of the people who pour their hearts into each vintage.

Natural Wines for Every Palate

What makes the wine programme at Bistro Freddie truly special is its emphasis on natural wines—those made with minimal intervention, organic or biodynamic practices, and a deep respect for tradition. These are wines with character, complexity, and often a delightful surprise.

This is not just a trend for Bistro Freddie; it’s a commitment. The team believes in supporting small-scale producers and celebrating the diversity of France’s winemaking landscape. Natural wine is about expressing a sense of place, and Bistro Freddie offers you the opportunity to travel from vineyard to vineyard with every sip.
