"This is a French wine bar on the edge of Little Italy, and you’ll need to drink here after your parents drag you around Soho. There’s a menu with a lot of small things to eat (chorizo, burrata, etc.), and they do over 20 wines by the glass. It’s also pretty cool in here - like the apartment in Paris you don’t own." - bryan kim
"This is the best wine bar in the area, and not just because it has a fancy name. In addition to a large wine list (obviously), La Compagnie has tons of seating - whether you want to sit at the bar, at a small table, or gather a group around some couches in the back. The wallpaper also looks like a very cool science project, which is another plus." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"A sleek French-focused wine bar with a deep nonalcoholic list, known for its fun events and a wide selection of French and other international wines."
"Opening: TBD With its 60+ page wine list and sofas conducive to long-term slouching, the original Soho location of Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels is an essential stop for both wine nerds and those who have not yet deleted their dating apps. The new Flatiron location, parked in a squat building from the 1860s, sounds like more of the same. Pair some grilled meat with a Brunello, and keep an eye out for a revamped version of Experimental Cocktail Club—the French import LES bar that closed in 2016—opening below." - bryan kim
"It’s not socially acceptable (or advisable) to invite a first date to your living room. But it is more than acceptable to tell them to meet you at La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels, a Soho wine bar that feels like a very nice living room filled with tasteful wallpaper and velvet chairs. Share a few small plates at the bar or at one of the small candlelit tables." - team infatuation
