Bermondsey, French Restaurant Guide

Converted from a building in Tanner Street Park, this Gallic fixture in Bermondsey is sibling to nearby Casse-Croûte and known as a culinary bright spark in the area. It can be a tad “inconsistent” though (“three servings of the same dish (saddle of lamb) produced one that was very good; one that was reasonable; and one that had to be returned to the kitchen!”)

“Visited with French friends. Their verdict: better than Paris! They loved it” – this “proper Gallic bistro” in Bermondsey is “very popular for good reasons”, including “impeccable food” and a “delightful” atmosphere. It offers “a simple daily changing menu of three starters, three mains, and three desserts all done well, plus classic Gallic service”.
