Le Piaf in Dulwich Village

[Jah Lush]

Was the Dulwich Steak House any good though? In all the years I lived in the village I never went in there once.

I think the Village could support an interior designer/curtain type / fired earth shop- for when ikea does not quite meet our needs- what do you think?

[Jah Lush]

Hmmm... I'd like a second opinion.

[womanofdulwich]

the curtain shop in park hall rd has closed- there is a return to doing things yourself-fabric etc? what do you reckon?

[Jah Lush]

I reckon it's got nothing to do with La Piaf closing. Are you sure you on the right thread womanofdulwich?

[HonaloochieB]

Surely the 'notions' shop Fabric on LL would meet everyone's haberdashery needs?

[bob]

Bring back the Steak House.

[womanofdulwich]

no I just thought that if le piaf is not to be a restaurant( steak house) then a more upmarket all encompassing farbic/upholstery shop would be good. What about one of those south american style steak/rib houses. wouldn't that be great?Huge juicy sirloins and rump and rib eye - may be a bit of surf and turf?? and a bottle or red and some chips................

[bob]

Yep

[Jah Lush]

Hmmm.....how about a Gaucho's? I'd go for that. Great Argentinian steaks.

[sophiesofa]

No not a Gaucho, i'd be fat and broke

[SeanMacGabhann]

I can see Gaucho?s going for that location ? except I suspect it?s a smidge too small.

Chez Gerrard maybe?

Whatever it is will definitely be a chain ? no room for a mixture of chain and indie restaurant along that stretch

[bob]

Good call Jah.

Chez Gerrard would be fab but doubt it'll happen.

[Mick Mac]

Gaucho - I'd be amazed, but it would be great. Cheap chain more likely I'm afraid, which is a pity for the Village as it need a good restaurant.

Chez Gerard is obviously much better than cafe rouge but i suspect its too close nonetheless.

Its like ED hoping for Waitrose and getting Coop. I'm sure someone msut know what it is going to be though.

[Jah Lush]

Whatever it'll be it'll definitely be a chain. Only a chain can afford the rents in the village.

If its a Giraffe I will move back to North London.

[SimonM]

It was a "London Steak House" not "Dulwich Steak House" - part of a small city-wide chain before beef prices went through the roof and red meat got a bad name. Various cuts of steak served with frozen chips and frozen veg and expensive rubbish wine. Quite popular though as then, as now, the good burghers of the Village were all tightrwads where paying for decent scran were concerned. So it will be another chain.

[SeanMacGabhann]

So when it change to Piaf, how did people.... etc etc

Sean... SimonM is talking about the London Steak House which was situated where Cafe Rouge is now., La Piaf on the other hand was previously another crappy restaurant whose name I can't remember but I do remember before that it was an off licence and I was a regular customer.

Jah/ SimonM

Got it wrong your right we used the London Steak House now Cafe Rouge.
