I had no problem with the service but the food was not up to my expectation. I would suggest Bellevue Rendez-vous near Wandsworth Common or The French Café in Balham/Tooting.

It was a calamity. When I reserved a table that morning, I explained that this was a birthday and the lady on the phone assured me they would do something nice for him : "we sing and do a little presentation at the end of the meal" Great! As it happened, my partner is allergic to dairy products. We explained this but still a boudin noire arrived with creamed mashed potatoes and a creamy sauce. We complained, the waitress took it away then came back with the mash gone but the sauce still there. The fries with my steak (mediocre) were a soggy mess so I just left them. The indifferent wine (a 2007 Bourgogne) was, at nearly £30 a disgraceful mark up. We asked for dessert but there was not ONE non-dairy option. This restaurant couldn't even rise to a sorbet or fruit salad! What kind of a place is this? As for the birthday surprise? The surprise was it never happened. So we didn't pay the service charge for this lousy, amateur dive. I hope you, dear reader, have better luck. Happy birthday! I took my partner as a treat to this restaurant for his birthday tonight.

C'est quand même un resto cher. Clapham: you should definitely try the steak tartare ! It is not worse than eating snails lol Le steak tartare a l’air très bon, mais je les préfère déjà assaisonnés.

Not sure I could stomach Steak Tartare... I just don't think I could eat it!! Some of the other meals look nice and although they may be ordinary for regular French restaurant goes, for Claphamites this restaurant does offer something a bit different.
