The 3rd Corner is a wine lover’s idea of heaven: wall-to-wall wine. Most of the time, there are about 600 bottles of wines from all over the world stacked all around, with small dining tables tucked between them. Called a “wine restaurant,” 3rd Corner is a wine shop that also serves food. So, you can stroll around, look at the labels, check the years, pick a bottle or two, and then sit at the table to have dinner.

The menu is a very pleasant surprise. It is wine-oriented, but very inventive, and the cuisine is superbly prepared. The best time to come is on Sunday for a prix fixe 3-course menu with a wine pairing. You might learn a thing or two, and you will surely have a memorable experience.
