Restaurant overview

About Waxlight Bar à Vin

Waxlight Bar à Vin is a Chandler Street restaurant and wine bar in Black Rock where the seasonal menu changes regularly, and technique counts. Bites can be just as complex as the plates, so it’s logical to assemble a meal out of several dishes.

Today’s menu features various courses such as caviar rösti, toasts with vegetables, pasta made from scratch, fish, and tenderloin. There is no focus on a particular culinary tradition here, and what unites all these dishes is their ability to surprise you with the use of fermentation, smoking, acidity, heavy sauce, and refined garnishes.

It is a wine-focused place, but the drinks program doesn’t obligate you to be a collector and an expert to enjoy your visit. A recommendation from the staff will help you limit the choice depending on the dishes that are on the table.

The reservation system is available at Tock. Because the kitchen changes the list of items quite often, the prices below are taken from the menu from September 16, 2026.
