The French House

The concept is nice. The walls are covered with posters are articles from magazines dating from the 60's. They play old French songs. They serve good coffee. I also had the onion soup and was a bit disappointed by the soggy bread and the melted cheese wasn't grilled enough to my taste. But I will give another try to this place as I found it really charming. I wouldn't order any wine there though as they are all very expensive. The table next to us was having a raclette and it looked really good (£14/person). There is a small shop at the back of the restaurant where we can buy French wine, jam and a few other things.

One of my favourite places on the Crystal Palace triangle. The French House is charming, reasonably priced and the service is excellent. Possibly my favourite aspect (other than the restroom, which is seen-to-be-believed) is the coffee - I've tried most in the area and this has yet to be beaten. There's also a little shop in the back (pictured is some of the items it sells) and another room that doubles up as a play area for kids and a place for meetings/events (pictured too). If you live near Crystal Palace, The French House is well worth trying - especially for breakfast or later in the evening.

Delicious food and great service! Wines are really nice but a little bit overpriced. You could fork out 12£ for a large glass of white wine.. No thank you! But a part from that, really lovely experience! Will go back!
