Wine Recommendations: What to Sip with What at Market 1897
White wine with fish, red with steak, sweet wine with dessert? Those are great starting points, but when it comes to the perfect pairing, leave it to us. At Market 1897, we'll help you find the ideal wine for every course.
A truly memorable dinner is about more than just the food—it’s also about what’s in your glass. The right wine can elevate every bite, reveal new layers of flavour, and turn a great meal into an unforgettable dining experience.
At Market 1897 Kitchen & Wine by Borbíróság, this philosophy is at the heart of everything we do: bringing together outstanding cuisine and a thoughtfully curated wine selection. Our wine list features crisp, fruit-forward whites, bold and expressive reds, elegant sparkling wines, distinctive dessert wines, and exclusive rare finds, ensuring there’s something to delight every palate. So, which wine goes best with which dish? Let’s start with the basics.
White Wine: The Perfect Match for Lighter Dishes
As a classic rule of thumb, white wine is an excellent choice for fish and lighter fare—and we couldn’t agree more. A crisp, refreshing white beautifully complements the delicate flavours of seafood, fresh fish, and even a seasonal salad.
If your meal is all about subtle nuances and refined flavours, a perfectly chilled glass of white wine is almost always the right choice.
Red Wine: The Ideal Companion to Rich, Hearty Dishes
Red wine is the classic choice for meat dishes, especially when you’re enjoying bold, full-flavoured cuisine. A silky Pinot Noir or a more full-bodied red pairs beautifully with steak, duck, and other richly flavoured meats, enhancing every bite and creating an even more satisfying dining experience.
Rosé and Siller: Versatile Crowd-Pleasers
Rosé and siller wines are true all-rounders. They pair wonderfully with lighter pork dishes, cold cuts, goat’s cheese, creamy vegetable soups, and even fish. Thanks to their fresh, fruit-forward character, they’re just as enjoyable on their own as they are alongside a wide variety of dishes, making them some of the most versatile wines on the table.
Dessert Wines: A Sweet and Elegant Finale
Few pairings are more refined than a carefully selected dessert wine served alongside a special dessert. Sweet wines beautifully complement fruity and creamy creations, enhancing their flavours while providing the perfect finishing touch to an unforgettable evening.
