We went last year. Wine was surprisingly very good. Food good for the price, 1970s French aimed at the English (overcooked rack of lamb, thick gloopy sauces), but reasonable. The decor was original 1970s too...you could smell 30 years of cooking and nicotine...an absolute blast and like being in a museum.


Good service and like being in a timewarp. Great for those in their 50s/60s...a one off experience so for the younger crowd.


Sorry Louisa, but the world revolves and changes constantly. I don't either want ED to be a Clapham clone, but we do need to update things.

We went about a year ago and had a nice time but the atmosphere as well as the food all felt very old fashioned, things have moved on. Put it this way we haven't been back..

Having said that I hope Eric and Margaret have a long and happy retirement as they are great hosts.

Went there this evening and we had good beef dishes and reasonable wine.

Wish I'd dined there previously, but thanks to this forum I at least found out they're closing, allowing me to squeeze-in a meal beforehand.

Love the decor and first time the other patrons waved goodnight as we left !!

KK good to hear you got to the Moulin for the last time ruffers huggers and steveo will pass on your regards to Eric and Margret to night, this is their penultimate night and fully booked Sunday has been reserved by a family that want to have the last day exclusively for themselve's 26 years has just past in the blink of an eye good by and good luck to Eric and Margert.

Have had many family events at le Moulin - sad to see them go. Was going to go there tomorrow lunch time but obviously cannot do that now. However we had a group meal in April. Income was not steady and large enough for them to plough back into decor etc. They do not consider themselves as going for retirement - just going to see how they feel.

I thought they were closing on 31st may?

All for dated decor, don't need the latest overly-sized monochrome wallpaper (on one wall only), crap art and matching palette decor. Quirky and a bit Fawlty-esque is more original by default, doesn't affect the food, more genuine.

I'm no interior decorator tho, either !

Sad to see them go..but wish Eric & Margaret all the best for the future...I remember a few years ago we had an horrendous day, heavy rain caused our guttering to overflow and water cascaded through the flat upstairs & through our bedroom ceiling, which partially collapsed, we had already been to the restaurant a couple of times, and after an evening of surveying the damage to our home we thought "sod it ! lets get out of here for a bit" & headed there, we had a lovely bottle of red & nice dinner, while Eric & Margaret listened to our woes and made us feel generally looked after & we went home a lot happier and ready to get on with sorting the damage out :)
I remember it before Eric and Margaret took it over. It was a Turkish restaurant then. Kebabs and bottles of Buzzbag. Only went in a few times over the years whilst it was Le Moulin but had pretty good experiences there on the times I did. Yes, you could say it was a little like a time warp - even the 70sish menu - but they were great hosts and as I walked past last night I could see many people were enjoying themselves in there for the last time. So good luck Eric and Margaret with whatever you choose to do now. Time to put your feet up and relax.

JL I thought I saw you go by last night yes it was quite a mixed emotions evening lot's of people wanting to share the last meal together with Eric and Margret some men in black tie and DJ'S their partners in evening gown's lot's of cards and flowers given the wine and bollie flowed in excess excellent food in large amounts a good time had by all poor Margret was quite over come at the end of the night good luck to you both and Eric you will now have more time for your golf farewell.

I don't post as much these days, but I just wanted to say, I'd like to wish Eric and Margaret a very happy post-Le Moulin life, whatever and wherever they choose to go and do. One of the main things I feel pretty strongly about on this forum as many of you may know. Le Moulin was once a big part of my life, fabulous restaurant, fabulous people and I would be lying if I didn't say a tear was brought to my eye when they bowed out last night for the final time. A great loss to East Dulwich.


Louisa.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
