My boyfriend and I’s first time coming let me tell you, we’ve definitely found our spot for wine nights.This wine bar has such cute vibes! The outdoor seating area was extremely enjoyable. We split a bottle of rose, but they also have a pretty large selection of white and red options! Will be coming back to try their food/snacks!!
Welcoming Instagrammable Plated I had a fantastic time at *Jardin*! The outdoor space is lovely, and the location is perfect, offering a great atmosphere to enjoy a meal. The *boquerones* were absolutely delicious—fresh and full of flavor. The cheese selection was amazing, and paired perfectly with the wine. It’s a great spot for a relaxed meal with friends or a special night out. Highly recommend it!
Incredible experience! I love the variety of wines they have-- interesting enough to titillate the senses of a wine connoisseur but welcoming enough to folks taking their first dive into the wine world. I think it's the least pretentious wine shop around town while still holding down a wide selection of wines. The charcuterie is to die for!! They slice their meats in house and have really good quick pickles. If you get a smattering of meats and cheeses, I love that a staff member will share the names and explain each component of the plate/board, if you like. Even the greens for the salad special were amazingly fresh. The high quality, well thought-through food menu that compliments their wines reminds me that they're a sister restaurant to Grisette (same owners). The atmosphere is top notch. There's plenty of seating on the covered patio. When I first visited in cooler weather, they had space heaters outside. Note that they don't really have any tables inside to sit down-- just the standing bar in the middle of the shop, where you place your order. If you're visiting for the first time, know that you essentially enter the doors into a basement/lower level, underneath the stairs to another building. Then, you order and pop back out and up to the patio. Parking nearby can be a bit tricky; be prepared to walk a ways from your vehicle if you're driving into town. As for what wine to get, their selection is always rotating, but the dry sparkling wines are always a delight. Big fan of the Pra Soave that was recommended; it had a dry floral flavor with a little zippy fizz-- perfect patio white wine for a hot day. It was so good that I bought another bottle to go! Any white or rose they have on the shelf in the shop, they also have cold, so you're not limited to what's on the board. Definitely recommend chatting with their knowledgeable staff members to narrow down what will best fit your palate, but also because you'll probably learn something new about wine, too!
Crazy good wine by the glass list but even better bottle selection, if you like domestic stuff, probably less your scene. These folks love them some wine, ask your inner wine nerd questions. Maderia is delicious and super funky, nice to try wine from my birth year! Also RIP The bean/1 tecate!
If you like wine, and you enjoy amazing food, this is the place for you! Between the amazing wine selection (sold at market price) and the outstanding entrees and charcuterie, Jardin is a must go if you are in Richmond. The flavor, atmosphere, and vibes are all here. Service of food can be a bit slow, but it is entirely worth the wait. I got the Caesar salad, mortadella, marinaded olives, a bottle of red (Chateau de Paraza 19’) and a white (Cazas Novas Avesso 22’). Not only was the food to die for, with the Caesar being my favorite, if not one of the best Caesar salads I have ever had, and the marinated olives being borderline heavenly; but the wine was unique and delectable. I have seen a few reviews complaining about the 10 bottle charge if you want to drink your bottle at the restaurant; but when you are getting a 50 bottle for 20, the 10 doesn’t make much of a difference. Overall, great wine selection, even better food, and an all-around amazing place to go when the weather is nice. Could not recommend more!
Food is always amazing. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Their wine menu is excellent and their wine recommendations are always spot on. One of my favorite places in Richmond .
Several friends joined me for a birthday happy hour on the patio, and it was fantastic! We got the smoked trout, the charcuterie & cheese plate, and the ricotta with focaccia. All were delicious. The staff was friendly and efficient, and they were great at recommending wine based on preferences/flavor profiles. We will definitely be back!
Great wine choices and several delicious small bite choice plates. Outdoor seating is shaded and quiet.
