    Love this place. Good breakfast and brunch options, lovely food for dinner too. Decent wine selection too.

    Great French cuisine, authentic French staff, tasty dishes and good atmosphere. I can recommend the mussels, rib eye & Nutella crepe.

    Nice steak, great steak tartare but a disappointing onion soup. Ended up quite pricey but the atmosphere was lovely.

    Madeleines are absolutely heavenly. Chicken pate as well!

    Steer clear of the suckling pig, unless you have eaten already and are quite full

    My favorite: Sirloin with fries... It's simply huge and good. Don't forget to order the cheese platter for starter

    The best French food we've had in London, starters are particularly impressive!

    This has been around Balham for a while, but moved to a bigger location now. Food is decent most of the time, but the service almost always leaves lots to be desired!

    Cocotte meurette, freshly squeezed organge juice and a cappuccino is the best weekend breakfast treat ever.

    Food was absolutely delicious, generally good service but they completely messed up the bill, made is feel bad about it and then took over 25 minutes sorting out their mistake.

    The Full French (breakfast) is incredible, puts our dirty fry ups to shame, you feel a million dollars after, it's MAN-SIZED and available all day. Tres bien!

    Service was very slow - despite advising we were in a hurry and they weren't busy. Crepe wasn't authentic and very, very greasy.

    Caesar salad with chicken was dreadful, my partner's bagette had mouldy bits of lettuce and the service was shockingly slow. I won't be coming back here!
