Bistro Chez Lucie in Southwark

Excellent,excellent, excellent evening out locally! Food delicious, service pleasant, so good to have a French meal ! We will be booking again……make sure to ask for the heaters to be switched on! Keep the chef, keep the waitress she is new and promising. See you soon, we really had a special evening.

We've had 3 fantastic meals at Chez Lucie -it is small and intimate with a great atmosphere. On our second visit we ended up having such a lovely chat with the couple next door that we eventually just joined tables for dessert. The food is brilliant. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered by l'escargot, cassoulet and petit sale aux lentilles were particular highlights. Yes, the service could be a tad more polished but this is a new restaurant finding its feet and I think it's great that younger people are being employed -this is what I did in my youth and twenties too! My one tiny comment for improvement would be to use fresh whipped cream on the dame blanche, rather than canned, but that is a small thing and the chocolate sauce is delicious and worth ordering for it alone! Definitely worth a visit and great to have another independent restaurant close by and doing something that wasn't previously there. Great place for adult families and couples in the evening (and I'm sure children too, we just tend to eat late, so there haven't been any when we've gone).

This place is great - reasonably priced and delicious. We've been back twice since it opened. Recommend the escargots and cassoulet.

I recently dined at Chez Lucie for dinner with friends. The restaurant itself was freezing cold and seemed not to have any heating making the experience rather unpleasant. Staff were young and inexperienced so the service was not good and errors were made with several of the orders in our party. The food itself was average and nothing outstanding. All in all not a restaurant I’d return to.

Awful please avoid. French onion soup which was unlike any I have ever tasted. Huge disappointment! The staff were nice people and trying really hard but were swamped and looked about 12! The chef said they had their own way of making it! They certainly do, I normally will climb over broken glass for French onion soup and the only thing broken was my poor taste buds!

This sister restaurant to Chez Yves in Penge is a great addition to Gypsy Hill/Crystal Palace area....Had an excellent dinner, with attentive staff, in a very nice French decor setting....French classics done really well, ranging from beef bourgignon to tartiflette....Would also recommend their excellent range of crepes for dessert....
