"You might have to leave work early to get a table at Sol’s on a weeknight, but it will absolutely be worth it. The modern European food at this Bayswater wine bar is a bit-of-this, bit-of-that simple, but there’s a hint of show-off—patatas bravas that are cooked to crispy-edged perfection, and rich dark chocolate mousse with a layer of herbal, smooth olive oil and sea salt crunch on top. It’s small, but there’s plenty of seating around the central table. If you’re coming for date night, try to secure two of the indoor stools by the big bay windows." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"Sol’s has what we like to call BWE. Big Window Energy. This stylish white-tiled deli is all about bagels and coffee during the day. But come evening, the Bayswater spot turns into a wine bar where pleasure is poured in the form of chilled Côtes du Rhône and couples who share a NOW TV login touch knees while gazing out of the big bay windows. There’s plenty of seating around the central table, but it’s those stools you want to secure if you want to maximise on the warm weather without actually being outside." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Sometimes we ceremoniously dust off the old dating app profile because, honestly, it is much easier to build an Ikea bookcase with two people. But, sometimes, a sexy little spot comes along that makes sharing a bottle of chilled red look so good that a romance craving starts to sizzle once more. Sol’s, a Bayswater wine bar with tasty modern European snacks, is that place. It’s walk-in-only but try to secure one of the indoor or outdoor stools by the big bay windows." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
"A delightful white-tiled deli operation in Bayswater that turns into an anchovy freak’s fantasy come evening, Sol’s is, like any bit-of-this, bit-of-that place worth its salt, endearingly impractical for anyone on a strict schedule. Instead, it’s perfect for chilled red consumption and stylish chin stroking over patatas bravas." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"During the day, Sol’s is a stylish white-tiled deli where you can live out your countryside farm shop fantasy, and pick up vesuvio tomatoes and doorstop sandwiches. Come evening, the Bayswater spot turns into a wine bar where pleasure is poured in the form of chilled Côtes du Rhône and couples who share a NOW TV login touch knees. The modern European dishes on the blackboard menu is a bit-of-this, bit-of-that simple, but with a hint of show-off. Sit in the indoor or outdoor stools by the big bay windows, they’re the best in the house." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
