Vinuls

Directly connected to the station on the 1th floor of atré Ueno, Vinuls invites guests to linger over wine around a freshly baked paella pan. The restaurant's signature Banyuls mixed paella allows rice to soak up the savoury stock drawn from chicken and distinct seafood, including shrimp, developing depth balanced by a fragrant, crispy layer of scorched rice at the bottom. Available to order from a single serving, it provides a welcoming option for solo diners and casual lunch visitors looking to sample the traditional staple.

While waiting for the main paella to bake, a varied assortment of small plates keeps the table lively. Freshly sliced Spanish Jamón Serrano and house-made pâté de campagne garnished with pickles and olives make natural starting accompaniments for a first drink. Guests can assemble small spreads based on group size and preference, choosing from sizzling mushroom ajillo, classic Spanish tortilla, or marinated sardines with a clean vinegary tang.

The beverage selection includes accessible wines by the glass, Alhambra Especial beer from Spain, crisp sherries, and house-style sangria. With counter and terrace seating options, the space maintains an unpretentious atmosphere well-suited to conversing after an art museum visit or stepping in for an evening drink after work.
