Natural wine bar with cellar gems and Parisian vibes
"“This is a no bullshit neighbourhood wine bar. Hector's is incredibly small, a matchbox. You've got to make sure you turn up early to get a seat, [and] it’s nice in the summer to sit outside. Hector’s is very friendly and accessibly priced. And it has no ‘vibe checks’ that some of these new-wave wine bars have, where they infantilise their customers. At Hector’s you can get really good natural wines and very good classic wines. There's no pretension. Food-wise, it hasn't got a kitchen but you can get crisps covered in serrano ham and tinned fish.”" - brennan carley
"A classic wine bar in De Beauvoir with a cellar of old and rare vintages."
"Along a quiet residential road and signalled by a buttercup-yellow awning, Hector’s is a petite cave à manger in De Beauvoir (that is, a small wine bar which also does snacks like tinned fish and crisps). It’s a bottle shop earlier on in the day, with glasses of the fizzy, funky, and fine variety poured from late afternoon. On warm evenings, there’s no better place than their pavement seating to live out your Parisian fantasy." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"Along a quiet residential road and signalled by a buttercup-yellow awning, Hector’s is a petite cave à manger in De Beauvoir (that is, a small wine bar which also does snacks like tinned fish and crisps—but it doesn’t sound quite so good in English, does it). It’s a bottle shop earlier on in the day, with corks popped and glasses of the fizzy, funky, and fine variety poured from late afternoon. On warm evenings, there’s no better place to live out your Parisian fantasy as seating spills onto the pavement and all the très chic people come out to drink, eat, and be merry." - jake missing, sinead cranna
