The best bit of Frenchness I saw on Lordship Lane was the sign outside Bruno's Cave on Saturday morning after the France went' out the world cup, which just read "Bloody Germans'

Mmmmm not keen on the seating arrangements in French House and their tuna salad was just a pile of leaves but other customers cheese on toasts looked wonderful

[DulwichFox]

The French House seating.. inspired by Dickens..

Foxy :)

Makes a change from all the chains and chazza shops I suppose.

Bloody pretentious French rubbish. The true French restaurant was Le Moulin, which none of you gastro experts visited on a regular basis contributing to it's closure. But now something nice, poncey and Clapham friendly has moved in its fabulous darling. Do me a quaver.

You played a leading role in putting a lot of potential new customers off visiting the place, to be fair.

I like the French House, but the decor?. Part country cottage, part industrial, part psychedelia / 60s pop. All rather muddled IMO. Should have gone for the full on 1960s look, but guess budget restricted them from changing too much. Food is good though and it has very friendly service. Hope it does well.

I'm sure Eric and Margaret would disagree with your analysis *Bob*, water under the bridge nonetheless. Once Pret arrives locally I will be smugly satisfied that a McDonalds owned French sounding eatery has arrived to rival the Clapham blow-in indies aimed at the disaffected Putneyites. Boom.

So what is happening on North Cross Road you teases.

[Louisa]

KFC opening up rahrahrah.

I'm sure your regular dinner-for-two visits helped them out a little, for which they are no doubt eternally grateful.

Unfortunately you completely failed to see the link between you being their lead advocate on here at a time when they needed new custom - and you slagging off anyone who moved here after 2002 (ie 'potential new customers') on a daily basis.

Pop up Mediterranean tapas restaurant will be opening in the evenings at Prettys from the July 12th. Run by some rather nice French peeps.

Happy now? ;-)

[ just to disassociate myself from this... I think it's fine, just not very French ]

It was built up too much and now I'm disappointed. Thanks for the update though :-)
