The French House


Recommended Posts

We popped in today. Thought it was very reasonably priced - OH opted for a nice tarte flambee and I had a salad. I asked for some bread with the salad as I was worried it might be a little on the small side considering the ?8 price tag- in the end it wasn't needed as portions were very generous but was eaten nonetheless because it was so tasty. We also had some coffee (which I can confirm was also good, although not sure yet if it beats ToastED) and some delicious wine. We will be back and look forward to bringing our French friends as we know they would love the atmosphere and the food too. What a wonderful addition, and we wish the best of luck to Audrey and her team.


Finished up the afternoon with a trip to la cave de Bruno for a refillable bottle of wine then sat with a glass of it in the park. What a wonderful place we live in!

I like it. They've put warmth and some cosiness into this space. And it's rather quirky but in a good way. Nobody can complain about the menu prices. The tarte flambees and salads make up most of the menu but thats great for more relaxed dining spot.


Completing your authentic South London French experience with a trip to Cave de Bruno was an excellent call Karackers - I did just that last night. He has a couple of great imported champagnes that cost less than the branded crap all the Brits seem to buy. He's also a nice guy.


Anyway - good luck to The French House.

We went in for lunch recently.


Really like the vibe and the food, but I had tartine (a tartine? The posh cheese on toast, anyway) and though it was absolutely delicious, I thought the portion was quite small, and I was still hungry afterwards.


Maybe I'm just a pig. Or maybe I should have had lunch earlier. Or eaten breakfast.


Next time I will have one of the tarte flambes, which look wonderful.


The beer was good too :)

Jeremy - yes its basically a menu of cheese on toast and three nice salads. And a great French onion soup.


Tarte Flambees, I've since discovered are like ultra thin (5mm) French pizzas without the tomato. Then they also have big slices of toasted sour dough bread with French cured sausage, cheese leaves and shit.


The beer? Well that was the only thing I found odd. It's nice but all from Camden.

Finally popped in tonight for the first time with my brother. What a fabulous addition to the Lane. Food, wine, music and service was absolutely superb. The staff are really lovely and such a great vibe in there. Definitely going to be a regular haunt for me now. Love it.

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
