08 Feb Grab a glass of wine with friends at Oriel Chinatown
Looking for a place to meet for drinks? Try Oriel Chinatown. Just north of Union Station on Alameda Street sits a building just below the raised train tracks. First a tire shop and then a nail salon, the space is now home to Oriel Chinatown, a French-themed modern wine bar and bistro. Oriel Chinatown is an oddly-shaped building with a few tables in the covered entrance and a few more to the right of the entrance, which lead to a patio. To the left of the entrance is the bar and a few more seats. The walls are white with pink and purple floors and furniture that are illuminated by the low lighting to create a rose-hued space.There are twenty wines by the glass, ranging from sparkling and white to rose and red. Many of the wines may be unfamiliar to most but the staff is knowledgeable and friendly and happy to offer tastes of any of the wines by the glass.
We started with glasses of the crisp, mineral-driven La Part du Colibri Folle Blanche 2015.Discover more from Please The Palate
