Harden's survey result
Summary
A “consistently imaginative menu” of rustic French plates, both small and large, combines with a global list of organic and biodynamic wines at this “fabulous local” on Battersea Rise. It is part of the Terroirs group operated by natural wine pioneer Les Caves de Pyrène, which has lost some of its rarity value now that so many have followed its lead.
Summary
“Easy-yet-delicious French bistro” option, offering the combination of gutsy Gallic small plates and an interesting wine list that’s become the hallmark of outlets run by natural and organic wine pioneer Les Caves de Pyrène.

Summary
There’s “always something different and exciting to try” at this “bustling, buzzy and slightly cramped” modern bistro in Battersea, serving “tasty” small plates and with a “brilliant focus on bio/organic/orange wines that not many other places do” (it’s part of Les Caves de Pyrène, which helped put natural wines on the dining map).
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
