Casse-Croûte 109 Bermondsey Street, London SE1 3XB

"Cute little French place in Bermondsey. This place is small so it can be hard to get a table. I manage to get two seats at the counter which is great for watching all the action in this bustling restaurant. The menu changes daily. Unfortunately for me, when we were there the menu had quite a few beef dishes (I don’t eat beef). For starters, we had the ravioli with lobster bisque (c’est magnifique!), a pig trotters wrapped in filo pastry (I thought to myself “Why can’t we Chinese invent a spring roll as good as this???”). For main course, we shared a pan fried plaice. The fish was perfectly cooked, though I couldn’t say it was an inventive recipe. The whole lunch took about 2 hours. We ran out of time to try the dessert. The total cost was approximately £30 per person without drinks."

"Really love this place. Has been recommended by few friends and have tried walk-in but failed. I would suggest making a booking in advance though their phone lines are sometimes hard to get through. Managed to get a last minute reservation for lunch on a weekend. It’s really great. It was like those causal bistro with a cozy vibe you see on every street corner in Paris. They serve simple French cuisine in a classic manner. I enjoyed the meal and definitely would like to come back."

"okay this is officially my favourite french restaurant in london. wow!! really lovely and intimate vibes, and the most delicious brasserie dishes. and the house wine was actually amazing (for once). the service was a little slow, but i honestly didn’t mind at all given how lovely it was just being inside this place."

"A little hidden gem in Bermondsey. I loved the cozy and warm atmosphere there. Our waiter was friendly and very helpful going through the whole daily menu, which included some amazing dishes such as the great beef wellington, rabbit with mustard sauce, and many more. All the food portions were generous and delicious that we almost couldn't stand from the chairs after lunch! Also great value."

"Every time we go there, we come back with a warm memory. Food is consistently amazing: genuinely truly authentically honest French food, and you almost forget you are on Bermondsey street: nostalgia of Paris! If you feel like you need a bistro experience, this place is the place to be!"
