What's it like? It just seems a bit, well, odd. I think it looks attractive in a faintly "League of Gentlemen" way. Let me know if you've been. Is it a local French bistro for local people? I like to think of the old lady from the old dressmaker's next to the butcher's shop tottering off down there once in a blue moon for a bowl of onion soup and a glass of vin rouge. Mind you, I like to think of lots of things.....

My uncle who recently died used to venture into Le Moulin quite a bit, and in all honesty it isnt the prettiest of places from the outside, however the customer service is second to non from the guy who owns the place, and the food is asbolutely gorgeous! All homemade recipes mostly from the north west region of France, but top quality ingredients and a real hidden gem on the Plough end of Lordship Lane.. (dont be put off by the exterior, it is very clean inside and reminds me of a small cafe I once went to in Montpellier, very "1940's occupied France" is a good description)..

We live just around the corner from Le Moulin restaurant and often wonder about it. The menu on the pedestal at the front can't usually be read due to condensation.


Maybe we'll try it now, given the glowing reviews.


Have to say, it does look a bit odd though - as if in a time warp - but then many of the shops around there are a little idiosyncratic.

No and no.


Ate there about three years ago and was good. Ate there a year ago not so good. Prawns in tempura batter were definitely Iceland rather than homemade but their fish and meat is good and sauces are good too. Very dated though, so my wife won't go back. Maybe suits a certain age group, even older than me.

So very sad. Another old school ED institution going forever. I hope both Eric and Margaret enjoy their well earned retirement, I may be joining you soon and moving away from this area if it becomes anymore poncey!


RIP Le Moulin, RIP East Dulwich, Hello Clapham.

Eric and Margaret were quite unique in this day and age in the sense that they had a regular customer base and genuinely enjoyed what they did. They never felt the need to update or change too much, and that was the secret to their longevity IMO.


stacey-lyn I've not been to Clacton in years, what's it like these days? Regular visitor are you? :)

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
