The editorial take
St. Jardim is a wine bar with a serious natural-wine focus, featuring a dedicated orange/skin-contact section and grower Champagnes organized by region. The list includes cult producers like Radikon and Gravner, plus rare lambic co-ferments. A cafe menu adds specialty coffee and non-alcoholic options, making it a versatile spot for both wine enthusiasts and daytime visitors.
- What should I order?
- Start with a glass from the orange wine section, such as Radikon 'Slatnik' or Gravner in magnum. For Champagne, the Marguet 'Shaman Grand Cru' offers grower complexity. Beer lovers should try the Cantillon x Cantina Giardino co-ferment. Pair with a parklife cappuccino for a non-alcoholic treat.
