2011, Italy
— Glass 4.5 — Carafe 12.75 - Vermentino IGP Pays d`Oc, Les Vignes de L`Eglise, Languedoc
2011, France. The perfect glass to have as you peruse the menu or to drink with shrimp, prawn and calamari dishes.
— Glass (175ml) 5 — Bottle 20 - Sauvignon Blanc, Vignerons de Valencay
2011, France. Light yet rich enough for chicken (though fish dishes love it).
— Glass (175ml) 6 — Bottle 24 - Picpoul de Pinet, Baron de Badassiere, Languedoc
2011, France. One of the loveliest Picpouls made. It’s like a sea breeze. So perfect with anything that comes from the sea.
— Glass (175ml) 6 — Bottle 25 - Gruner Veltliner, Loimer ‘Lois’
2011, Austria. Is it steely or is it hiding something? Once paired with spicy fish and shellfish dishes it gushes with flavour and complexity.
— Bottle 32
Red Wines
- Merlot/Corvina, Ponte Pietra
2011, Italy
— Glass (175ml) 4.5 — Carafe 12.75 - Beaujolais-Villages, Dominique Morel ‘Domaine de Gry-Sablon’

— Glass (175ml) 4.5 — Bottle 18 - Carmenère Selección, Viña Chocalan, Maipo Valley
2010, Chile. Handles spicy meat dishes like its vines were grown in a chilli plot.
— Glass (175ml) 6 — Bottle 24 - Costiéres de Nimes, Chateau La Tour de Béraud
2010, France. A grenache-graped red of great purpose and hearty generosity. Yet is not one whit rustic. Beef is an admirable partner.
— Glass (175ml) 7 — Bottle 28 - Monastrell, Molino Loco, Yecla
2011, Spain. What a lot of posh for the dosh! Finely textured yet firm and succulent. There isn’t a meat dish on our menu which doesn’t fancy it (except maybe the flaming beef).
— Bottle 19
Sparkling Wine
- NV Prosecco ‘Glera’, Ca Molin
Italy
— Glass (125ml) 3.95 - DO Cava, Albet i Noya, Petit Albet N.V

About Viet Grill
About Viet Grill
Our modern yet cosy Vietnamese restaurant in Kingsland Road, Shoreditch emulates the hustle and bustle of busy Vietnamese life, and is the perfect backdrop to serve up the light and aromatic flavours of Vietnamese street food. Enjoy slurping a spicy Pho at our Pho-bar and delight in our unique menu of authentic dishes and Vietnamese inspired cocktails. As at all of our Vietnamese restaurants in London, we pride ourselves on offering you an authentic taste of Vietnam using well sourced ingredients from the British Isles whenever possible.
We have a saying at Viet Grill; 'to make the simplest of dishes taste good you need the ingredients of time and passion' and we have plenty of both. Every dish, from our Vietnamese street food snacks to our a la carte delicacies, is lovingly prepared with this saying in mind. Take our classic beef Pho for example, which takes over 18 hours to make! Likewise, our wine list is carefully selected by renowned wine writer Malcolm Gluck to match the aromatic dishes on the menu.
What’s more, we also offer a Vietnamese takeaway service and can deliver to your home or office. So, if you’re in the Hoxton or Shoreditch areas and are looking for sophisticated Asian cuisine on the go, be sure to get in touch!
over 18 hours to make – that’s sweet!
“More sophisticated and authentically Vietnamese than other restaurants in the area. Highly recommended.”
The London Foodie“The beef itself was superb, powerfully marinated and served with an umami-rich soy dressing”
Cheese & Biscuits“Viet Grill was a great choice, the food was great, the atmosphere was relaxed (although that may have been because everyone was out enjoying the sun) and the punch was on fire (literally!)”
