A British restaurant is launching the U.K.’s first water menu
- La Popote, a Michelin-starred French restaurant in Cheshire, is launching the UK's first water-only menu on August 22, 2025.
- The menu was developed after Doran Binder, a British water sommelier, proposed the idea three years ago and finally received approval in January 2025.
- The water selection includes seven premium bottles from across Europe—four still and three sparkling—with prices ranging from £5 to £19.
- Binder explained minerals measured as Total Dissolved Solids drive water’s taste and flavor, and Rawlins said water now offers "another dimension" to dining.
- This offering caters to a growing trend of reduced alcohol consumption and taps into a new revenue stream for discerning non-drinkers seeking alternatives.
