Best Traditional French Restaurants in Elephant and Castle

This place never never fails to impress me. The menu evolves nice and slowly and the quality of delivery is superb. Nice and unusual wine list also! The staff know just how much service you require.

A wonderful evening at Lady of the Grapes London Bridge. The food was excellent, and the lamb was the standout. One person in our group had avoided lamb her whole life, and this was the first time she genuinely enjoyed it. The wine list is a joy, and the mission behind it matters. I worked in wine and have seen how much extra resilience women in this industry need, and it’s great to see a list built around them. Our affordable Chinon from Clos de la Niverdière punched well above its weight. The staff were kind and helpful throughout. The space is beautiful: a fresh renovation that respects the building’s 19th-century bones while giving it new, modern life. Only London does this so well!!! The walls feature work by women artists, which you can discover and even buy.

Great wine, lovely atmosphere. We had a great time here (again). Highly recommended.

Had a lovely evening at The Chalet. Really friendly and helpful service. Great raclette with unlimited sides, very delicious. Enjoyed the apres-ski atmosphere which happily reminded my Mum and sister (who can’t ski anymore) of the old days.
