The best restaurants serving French food in Bishop's Lambeth London

Finally - a grilled cheese in London! Food was amazing - has to be one of the best grilled cheese ive had. Truffle mushroom, Korean wings and kimchi pancake was sublime.

In one of the absolutely most expensive towns in the world, the Cote Brasserie chain has managed to roll out a hard to beat price/performance concept that holds. "Chain food" is usually nothing much quality wise. Not so here. Ingredients are just fine and there is a genuine core of French brasserie at Cote - for real. Many dishes are classics you would find in any descent bistro in France; onion soup, tartare, steak frites, moules marinières, chocolat fondant, crème brulée etc, etc. Of course some compositions are a bit British tweaked: the ever so constantly present peas must be on the plate in one form or another... hard to leave out obviously. In any case, at this visit I experienced one of the best Steak Frites I've ever had. Big surprise. This simple dish can be so good if the meat is truly tender (which it tends to never be, especially not in France) with a clear grilled flavour and the frites are super freshly and perfectly fried. And so it was at Cote! A steal at 17 GBP! There is also a three (or two) course prix fixe menu for 22 GBP containing the above Steak Frites as a choice. Even more a steal. A satisfactory wine list with a lot of French wines at affordable prices. At our visit we could also experience a temporary offer with a free welcome drink. A nice gesture! All in all Cote delivers what they say they do. That is French bistro food at high quality at affordable cost. Recommended!

We stopped here on a whim to pick up some bread for dinner. (Bread and butter and a glass of wine being a favorite supper for hungry travelers when we are tired of going out to dinner.) Being indecisive, we bought a half loaf of both the white sourdough and the whole wheat sourdough. Both were amazing loaves! Turns out, that according to Eater London, this is one of London’s best bakeries. They serve coffee from a window and while I didn’t order any, it’s probably pretty great too.
