Clapham Junction, French - Restaurant Guide

A “family favourite” that “brings back memories of small French restaurants” – this “reliable” Battersea brasserie has outposts in Putney, Wandsworth Common, South Ken, the City and most recently Clerkenwell, where it opened inside Marrable’s Hotel in late 2024. Harsher reports say they can be a little “underwhelming”, though – one reporter complaining that the “cute dining room was let down by mixed quality of the food and somewhat lax Gallic service (in a bad way)”.

“A gem of a neighbourhood restaurant” on Battersea Rise, serving “great inventive French- inspired cooking” (e.g. Raw monkfish, gherkin & fig leaf) “in slightly cramped surrounds”, from chef Matt Harris and Tommy Kempson of Brixton chicken shop Other Side Fried. “Plenty of interesting natural wines” too.
