Loafe Cafe

Excellent food, great menu, great service and good value for money. The restaurant is very authentic. It feels you are in France as soon as you walk inside. They use very good quality product, fresh vegetables, homemade fries. I would highly recommend. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and great French music playing in the background with all the classic French tunes.

A really lovely French Bistro, reasonably priced with mouth watering food, unexpected quality in Penge! This was a really nice surprise to discover in Penge. Tucked away in a side street, just off the High Street is Bistro Chez Eve. The outside of the restaurant doesn't look like much and it doesn't reflect the quality of the restaurant. Inside the restaurant you are transported to France. There is a great selection of proper French food offered inside a dimly lit open space with a few rustic tables to sit at. We were served by a lovely French waiter who was very attentive and yet unobtrusive. He was very helpful in recommending appropriate wines to pair with meals. The food that we had was exquisite. The duck was so tender, slipping off the bone easily and full of flavour. My potato's were crisp and also full of flavour. The turbet was served with a sauce that complimented and didn't mask its flavour. I didn't get to try the third dish. All of the food was presented well. The improvement that could be made here is the addition of better toilet facilities. In covid times an addition of paper towels in the toilet and working taps is a necessity.
