The bar that built Hong Kong's natural-wine market, still importing direct from the same Loire and Auvergne growers a decade later.
wine · Iconic La Cabane has been the Soho natural-wine reference since 2013, when Edouard Coulon opened the Hollywood Road room with a list drawn from the producers he had been visiting personally in the Loire and Auvergne — Joseph Landron, Patrick Bouju, Jean-François Chêne. The cellar now runs to over six hundred references, all imported direct, and the by-the-glass programme is the city's deepest natural-leaning rotation.
The kitchen is short and French, the room is loud, and the prices remain significantly below the Central bars one level up the hill. Ranks third because the buying integrity is the most consistent in Hong Kong and the bar essentially built the natural-wine market for the city single-handedly.
