One of my favourite places to go in south London, or South Croydon to be exact, is Le Cassoulet which is named after a French dish. His restaurant is one of Malcolm Johns’ who himself is a well know chef and who also has another restaurant in Chiswick called Le Vacherin.

When you enter the restaurant, you cannot help but feel as if you are somewhere in the South of France. If you go in at lunch time they will have a special £20 menu and if you want to experience the different foods they offer then you should take along a few friends and have each of them order something different each. What you will find is that you will be enjoying the tasty dishes and wanting more.

From Escargots de Bourgogne, Chicken liver parfait, to Soupe a L’Oignon Gratinee, the dishes are mainly French in origin and you can try these luxurious dishes to get an idea of what dining is like in South France. The food is so yummy that your taste buds will be pleased. Their Marinated Cornish Mackerel is to die for.

With its unpolished wooden floors, paper-over-cloth tables, and really nice couches and chairs, the restaurant seats you comfortably. You will complete the experience by dressing up and enjoy what it is like dining out in France. You will hear typical French music in the background, usually of the swing kind.

Le Cassoulet is simply an old fashioned neighbourhood restaurant with a touch of style waiting for you. To be honest it kind of reminded me of the resturant in House Md that they go to in season four, right before he goes crazy. What I am trying to say in a very roundabout way is that it is a very nice place to go and I would ahve to recommend it to all!
