Trufflesecco: A prosecco and truffle bar has arrived in London

Like prosecco? Love truffles? The perfect bar for you has bubbled up in Camden
Luxurious: Burrata topped with truffle at Trufflesecco

London is no stranger to bars and restaurants that specialise in just a couple of items — we have Champagne + Fromage, Burger & Lobster, Chick ‘n’ Sours and Bubbledogs, where Champagne is paired with hot dogs.

Trufflesecco is the latest to join the ranks, with a menu that specialises — as its name suggests — in prosecco and truffles.

One of the founders, Irina Lily, explains: “Prosecco is all about having fun, and truffles add a real sense of luxury — our philosophy here is to celebrate every day as if it’s a special occasion.”

The restaurant is inspired by the elegant eateries of Florence, and has been designed with shutters on the wall to evoke the feeling of sitting on a pavement outside a café in the Italian city — you could almost forget you’re in Camden Town.

Food options include an excellent, creamy burrata lavished with fresh black truffles and a truffle carpaccio tapenade, as well as both meat and cheese platters. The latter includes a truffled cheese, as well as a gnocco fritto gooey fried pastry studded with truffle.

Given the abundance of the costly fungus, the prices are reasonable — £16 for the cheese platter and £14 for the meat.

Fizz: There are seven different prosecco's available at Trufflesecco, plus cocktails and wines

The drinks list is dominated by seven different bottles of prosecco — ranging from £28 to £50 — along with some prosecco-based cocktails and a decent selection of non-sparkling Italian options.

At the higher end, Epsilon Wines’ Luxxo, a 100% Chardonnay prosecco from the Veneto region, is fruity but well-structured and rich tasting — a prosecco that easily rivals many a Champagne.

There’s even a truffle-infused grappa available to round things off at £6 a shot, for those who want to complete the truffle experience.

Trufflesecco is at 11 Camden High Street, NW1 7JE — near Mornington Crescent station. Visit trufflesecco.com.
