Small menu but all of it was delicious ! Love the fact that most of the menu is in French - also people serving (the owners ?) are French We also had rose wine which was decent. Service was pretty quick - the longest we had to wait was for the bill I would easily recommend this restaurant and other customers would agree / the restaurant was full and we were lucky to get the last table read more

What a wonderful place! The interior is so cozy and intimate. The food - sensational. My friend had rabbit and I had beef with beans and potato gratin. All of these were super flavorful and tasty. We followed up with desserts - one with apple and one with rhubarb - both great. They change the menu every day as well. And the staff were super lovely! read more

Our hotel room wasn't ready so we had to find a place to fill up. We saw the crowds and thought this is the perfect place. We sat outside, basked in the sun, and ate heartily. The rhubarb clafoutis was too tart, needed sugar but the custard was perfect. The rabbit was too heavily sauced but that's why we drink wine and water. read more

Amazing restaurant with very taste food, good portions, fair prices, and very polite and efficient service. Moreover, it is nice that the menu is short and changes daily as it is a good sign that everything is made fresh and next time you go you may find something new/different. As a starter I had "Cervelle de veau à la grenobloise" (veal brain) which was very tasty and well done. As main I had some dish with veal (Epaule de veau façon marengo) that was also really good and a pretty big portion. I also tried the beef filet that was also spot on. Wine is also pretty good with decent prices. Definitely worth a visit and also going back more times! read more

This was a very authentic, true to form French hidden gem. After drinks at The Shard observation deck my friend (knowing I am a big francophile) wanted to take me somewhere with a bit of authenticity. Her pick was dead on as Casse-Croute, though perhaps loud and little crowded, is a prefect neighborhood bistro with authentic French fare. We started with standard French summer summertime drink and fare, Ricard and water, Salad Nicoise, and well I forget the other starter, but I remember all was good. The entrees consisted of a flank steak for myself coupled with Potatoes Au Gratin. The steak was good, but the Au Gratin were for sure some of the best i have ever had. For sure some heavy cream in there! We also had the Turbot Fish and Asparagus. The place is pretty sweet, maybe a little bit pricey, and the charge for bread is kind of weak. But other then that, you have to love a neighborhood place with a black board of fresh selections. This place can get very loud, and the single bathroom can make for a line at times. read more

My friends and I had heard this place was awesome and we managed to go for lunch the last day that we were in London. It's a Michelin rated restaurant, but very small and quaint. I've got to say that I was expecting a lot. I ended up having the pigeon as that was what the waitress recommended, and it was tasty and had an amazing sauce on it. That being said, I think Casse Croute is like any fancier restaurant where it's overpriced and smaller portions so I left still being hungry. I definitely would like to go back here for dinner to try out some of their other dishes. read more

I came back to this establishment for a night with my friends and of course it helped that he was French :). We ordered some charcuterie and appetisers - Jesu was the name of the French charcuterie. Other apps were scallops, a feillle with mushrooms which all went down well with the St emillion wine we guzzled down from Bordeaux. Mains were rabbit, lamb (mine- was so delicious!) and the cote de boeuf. We finished with a couple small desserts and some strange herby liqueur. Desserts were great ;the liquor not so much! Glad to have had such a great meal here. The main issue really is how tiny this place is. Once your sat down you really can't move around but that shouldn't stop you! Call to make reservations a month in advance at minimum for prime Friday or Saturday reservations. read more

Just cute little bistro with a daily changing menu. Very fresh interesting food in a charming setting with very pleasant staff. House wine is really good and each time I have been the food was delicious. Great addition to the street. Book early! read more

Casse-Croute - Cute new bistro - French Near Me - London, XGL

Authentic French restaurant in a small cozy location. The staff is all French, and per my French BF, they offer good typical French cuisine. The only thing is that they are a bit more on the pricey side, we paid about 80 GBP for a dinner for 2. Do make reservations, they get booked up quickly and we were watching walk ins get turned away. read more

Great food again but the service was really lacking. I booked a table and was told we had it for two hours. More than enough time for a leisurely lunch but we were rushed through the entire meal: aperitif, starter and mains within 55 minutes! Seriously? We would be still working through one thing when the waiter would show up trying to clear the table or bring something else. Highly annoying. read more

This place shows you that you do not need masses of choice on your menu. Couple of choices for each course along with a sensibly priced but short wine list all adds up to a pleasant lunch with friends. Cooking was good service was fine. read more

I expected a lot from this small French bistrot on hip Bermondsey Street. Cute decor and ambiance. The food is good, but overpriced (£17 for a steak tartare served without fries...). In France, bread is an important part of every meal and no restaurant would ever charge you for it. Casse Croute charges £2 for a couple of bread slices - worse yet, this is not mentioned anywhere. I've asked this charge to be removed as we had not been made aware of it, which the waiter did (but reluctantly, and without any form of apology). Lastly, service is very... French. If you've been to Paris, you'll know what I mean. read more

Super fast, friendly and efficient service. What a delight to experience this place once again. I've only been for lunch over a year ago, this was my first time for dinner. Casual french atmosohere. Simple daily menu choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 deserts. I could only fit in a main and desert. I was not disappointed. The cod was tasty, succulent and an excellent sauce. I can't recall what was in it. Amazingly scrumptious plum and almond tart. Reasonably priced for the quality and service. I'll be back. read more

Lovely restaurant. Nice old school french bistrot feel. Friendly and helpful staff and the food is very good. I do agree with some of the previous reviews that the portions are small considering the price tag. In an ideal world each dish woukd be twice the size, but this is more or a special occasion place especially since there's very little scope for walk-in; reservations are a must if you plan to go at a conventional time. Accordingly the expensive small portions can be forgiven whilst you just enjoy the ambience...though you may need a snack afterwards. read more

Amazing little french restaurant! The place is small but well organized. There's two french guys waiting and it's pretty entertaining talking to them -- they have good recommendations! For starters we had a little pastry with pork feet (out of this world), then a pork shoulder "a la diable" and wrapped lunch with a macaroon and an apple tart! The quality, service and atmosphere were a solid five! read more

Food was good (although a bit overpriced!) but we were extremely disappointed with the service and lack of professionalism. We waited 50 minutes for the food, and no apology or compensation from the server's behalf! Will not be visiting again. read more

While the food here was excellent, the bottle of wine we chose from the wine list was brought out in an old glass bottle that had had the labels and cork already removed. It looked and tasted like they refilled an old bottle with cheap boxed wine, and the resulting hangover confirms my suspicions. I'm not above drinking cheap wine by any stretch, but not when I pay for a nice bottle at a restaurant. At the price point, you expect the bottle to be brought out and opened in front of you. I wouldn't go back for fear of being ripped off again. read more

Loved it, I was lucky enough to get a seat at the bar one night as a walk in (make reservations), it is the quintessential little french cafe, daily chalkboard menu, nice selection of wines by the glass, exquisite preparation. I am a fan! read more

Totally disgusted by the attitude of this place - before I even got in there. Tried phoning several times to make a booking, got through twice and each time was asked if I could hold for a moment only to be left there for nearly 5 minutes! I could hear the sound of the staff chatting in the background but no one picked up...the first time I hung up...the second time they eventually put the phone down on me. Disgraceful treatment. Obviously I won't be bothering again... read more

Fantastic little french restaurant. I think the menu changes daily based on what is fresh and what the chef wants to make. When we went they only had 6 items on their menu, which is listed on the chalkboard inside. Went for lunch on a Saturday without a reservation, but were lucky enough to get seated outside. the line otherwise was quite long. The food was stellar. Ordered a fantastic salad with fresh greens, chicken hearts and liver pate on a crouton. vinaigrette was perfectly light and balanced, everything fresh and well executed. I also ordered rabbit in a tarragon-mustard sauce with pureed potatoes, which was amazing. A perfect neighborhood gem in near Bermondsey Square. read more

For being part of a mini-chain along Bermondsey Street, that serves some of the best Spanish food in the entire city, I'm at a loss at why this place is just so... boring. Yes, it's a cute and rather authentic little bistro, but the food is mediocre at best and the service is slow. The exact opposite of Jose and Pizarro. For my money, I'd cross the street and have tapas and Andalucian beer instead. read more

We were living in Bermondsey and daily we would walk past the restaurant and smell absolutely wonderful aromas coming from the kitchen. We decided we had to taste these wonderful smells and made reservations about two weeks in advance (as there was nothing sooner on a weekend) and got the first seating available on a Friday - at 6 pm. We were really looking forward to our dinner! When we arrived we were nearly forgotten about. As soon as we sat down - another couple came in about 15 minutes after us and was greeted with water, bread and a run down of the menu. We had not been offered any of this yet. Finally, the waiter came over to us to take our order. We chose the beef bourguignon that came with potatoes and the seabass and the 2015 Cote de Rhone. The beef bourguignon was extremely dry as well as being cold. My thoughts were that it may have been sitting out from their lunch crowd as we were the first to order the dish at dinner and the plate quickly "sold out" as one or two more patrons ordered it (the restaurant was still less than half full). The potatoes were fine. The seabass was nothing spectacular. The vegetables were also fine. Neither dish had much flavour and did not come out hot. The wine was pretty good--by far the best part of the meal. We were going to get dessert before our food came out, but after we tasted our mains, we decided to save our money and our calories. Overall, we were disappointed with the evening that we had looked forward to all week. Adding insult to injury the meal was very expensive. read more

Really great French cuisine with friends. Small location. Bistro atmosphere Started with the baked cheese- "fromage d'or" which was some great southeastern French cheese baked and served with boiled potatoes on the side. We poured the cheese on and enjoyed. A comforting winter dish. For my main I had the sea bass. Excellent preparation with veggies and potatoes. Typical French. Other mains included pork chop, pork loin, and cassoulet. All looked great. Unfortunately I gave up meat for lent. Wine list had good wines for reasonable prices (under £25 a bottle) and probably better wines for more. Dessert was a layered flakey pastry with cream. I forget the typical name. What we liked was that there were just a few choices on the chalkboard but they seemed to change by the day. I would not hesitate to return for a different set of dishes. Complaints were few, but when the waiter told us it was time to go so that our table could be turned over, we were not ready! Bon appetite to all that try this lovely spot. read more

This a restaurant that will always have a solid place in my heart. For me in a now thriving corner of Bermondsey this is a little authentic taste of France. A classic French bistro. I've been to France a lot and I can tell you this is the real deal. In terms of atmosphere, service (the owners are lovely people who will not hesitate to help) and of course food. The food. It changes seasonally. In fact each day. I had an amazing pork fillet and charcuterie board with a rillettes spread and a fantastic red wine recommended. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. read more

Top quality classic french food set in a higly artesan style restaurant. No menu just a simple chalk board a ltd but varied selection of food. We started with a selection of charcutetie - different styles and flavours but all excellent. Then sea bass with spinach and mushrooms, tremondous flavours just a joy to eat. My guest had the duck confit, very rich and delicious. Ltd but excellent cheese to finish. Ecletic red wine list - had a nice burgundy. More familiar white wine list. Great restaurant read more

Service was great. Our waitress was lovely. I had baked cheese to start (amazing), pig cheeks for main (good), shoe pastry with peanut cream (pretty sweet) and a blue & soft cheese (amazing). I've had a few to drink so the detail is lacking but trust me this place needs to be visited. read more

Make a reservation..Really busy place but the waiter managed to get us a table good for only an hour though! Quite loud on a Friday night & because the place is so small. But it's a hidden gem in Bermondse street that's worth the journey read more

Come here. That's about that. A little, intimate real French restaurant with great wine and superb traditional French food. It's like being in a market square in a French village. Blinding. read more

Cosy authentic French restaurant. Great food but limited choice. The beef in shortcrust was delicious.

Very good food, quite hard to book a table, a bit overpriced. The sea bass risotto was one of the top 3 I've ever had.
