About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Romantic
Innovative

Antonello Serra moved to London in 1995 from the Il Faro restaurant in Sardinia, with its one Michelin Star for the high level of cuisine based on the reinterpretation of traditional dishes and seasonal products.

In the City, he worked at two prestigious venues: Metrogusto and Assaggi, also given one Star in the Michelin Guide.

2006 is known as the great leap.

On August 21, he opened his first restaurant “Le Querce” in Forest Hill, at number 66 Brockley Rise.

In the warm atmosphere of the restaurant, it is easy to indulge in good food at celebrations, events and moments of conviviality with family and friends. Perhaps the pleasure of taste is contained in the feelings it evokes, in an unmistakable emotion, created by a fellowship of experience and knowledge. Echoes and references to a known past, that feeds the senses and takes us on a journey from the infinite nuances.

Had a lovely date night meal. The food was as always outstanding and the service excellent. If you want delicious Italian food as you’d imagine Nonna makes it with out paying through the nose I highly recommend Le Querce. Glad it’s only a 10 min walk!!

Original food, all freshly made, charming service. Why was it not full on a Friday night? A mystery. We shall return.

Le Querce is a family-run restaurant in Brockley. The family are Sardinian. We have been coming here for years and even with stiff local competition, they are still excellent. The welcome is warm and friendly, the food and wine are excellent and the service efficient. Whenever we think of going elsewhere, we end up thinking - why should we when we have such an amazing restaurant on our doorstep. We are very lucky.

The place is bright enough so it feels cheerful and open without being garish - so it felt welcoming. Pity the guy showing me to my table didn't speak English but no worries! It was mid week so a bit quiet but everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves. The food was really good and there was a decent choice so there should be something for everyone. We had a great monkfish main with seafood and celeriac puree which was excellent and the afters were fabulous - Apple tarte tatin with rhubarb ice cream! Service was well timed as we wanted time to chat and at no point did we feel rushed or that we had waited too long. No complaints about the service as such but it was a tiny bit impersonal but I am nit picking. The only thing I would like to see would be the introduction of some modern beers - some South London pale would have gone down a treat with the fish. Overall - really good.

I have been to Le Querce many times now, and have recommended the restaurant to many people. The food is always superb, and the range available can cater for any tastes and diet requirements. It has no faults at all!
