A wine list accompanies the food menu.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the cheese board, alongside a cassoulet and confit of duck, with profiteroles and crepes also named. The wine list and traditional French feel draw repeated praise, and several describe friendly service and a romantic setting. One reviewer was disappointed: a very slow starter, onion soup too sweet with little cheese, a basic cassoulet, and a hot dining room.

“Fabulous traditional French fare with a great wine list. Would definitely recommend a cheeseboard”
- Sacha Simonnet
“- Arrivée à 19h30, entrée servie à 21h - 20 minute pour avoir une caraffe d'eau - Soupe à l'oignon trop sucrée / vinaigrée, presque pas de fromage à l'intérieur - Cassoulet basique comme on peut en trouver de partout en France - température trop élevé dans le salle”
- William Oakes
“A real surprise and hidden gem. Like stepping into a Parisian cafe with fantastic food and service. We will definitely be back soon”
- richard bultitude
“Great little restaurant with well designed menu, traditional decor and excellent wine. We really enjoyed the cheese board, cassoulet and green vegetables. Definitely a welcome eatery in this area.”
- Brendan Earley
“As authentic a slice of France you will find anywhere in London. A small unassuming front belies the incredible food, romantic ambience and family friendly service. Excellent pricing for such wonderfully cooked food. The confit of duck and the profiteroles were magnifique I belive they say.”
