Le Cassoulet

Press Reviews (4)

• Guy Dimond (27th March 2008)
  
  This is the sort of restaurant that makes you want to move to Croydon (well, almost). Or if you already live in Croydon, it should make you feel very smug indeed - because it knocks most new high-profile, central London restaurants into a cocked hat. It's got real joie de vivre, the prices are fair, and - above all else - it's a proper French restaurant with proper cooking.
• Jay Rayner (17th March 2008)
  
  “Le Cassoulet is not a great reason to visit Croydon, but it's not a bad reason for staying in Croydon if you already happen to be there”. This is “not quite” a destinatino restuarant, opines the critic, but it is a “fine ornament” for the “lucky people” who live nearby.

  This Gallic newcomer is “the sort of restaurant that makes you want to move to Croydon (well, almost)”, says TO’s head man – “it knocks most new high-profile, central London restaurants into a cocked hat”. “It's got real joie de vivre, the prices are fair, and - above all else - it's a proper French restaurant with proper cooking”, says the critic.

  The critic begins by pondering the wisdom of opening a grown-up French restaurant in Croydon (“[n]ot because everyone is staying at home and cooking, but because everyone is curled up on comfy couches watching telly in their local Indian takeaway, waiting for their beef vindaloo to be handed over”). Let’s hope the effort was not in vain, as it turns out that this is “a nicely old-fashioned, 'proper' French restaurant in an area that needs a bit of a leg-up”.
