Very pleased to have found this delightful little french restaurant. I had a flat iron steak which was cooked to perfection. My wife also had a beautiful duck dish. For me though the steak was the highlight - not too many places truly know how to do it properly. I would say overall probably slightly on the pricey side compared with other places in Tooting Market but ultimately not unreasonable, and worth it for the quality of food. The service was very good too

2-4-1 Tuesdays are a really good deal, especially if you want to try their cote de boeuf (£55). Even though it says it is to share between two, we found the quantity good for one person. Steaks were perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned - we ordered one medium and one medium rare. We also enjoyed the onion soup, fries and the dauphinoise potatoes (although more garlicy than expected). We had the apple tatine for dessert, the portion was decent, but it felt extremely sweet. Good selection of wines, including dessert wines. Friendly staff, but way too busy, the place could probably use more staff. Tables are very close to each other. Slightly disappointed that our steaks arrived first with the dauphinoise potatoes, 10 minutes later the fries and 15 minutes later the onion soup. Overall it was a good experience, but it could have been great. You should make a reservation as it gets very busy.

Great little authentic French restaurant. Service was good and fast. We had snails, French onion soup, Sunday roast with confit duck, and pollock with baby potatoes and spinach. All the food was delicious, nicely seasoned with lots of herbs and butter!

2 for 1 steak deal on Tuesdays! The deal includes the steak of your choosing, fries, and their signature bordelaise sauce. Fries are probably one of the best I've tasted in London - the beef dripping adds tons of flavour. Sauce and steak was also great - I asked for rare, but this was definitely closer to blue, but still very tasty. We also had the French Onion Soup (which was too peppery for my liking), peppercorn sauce (which was actually not peppery enough) and a chocolate cake as dessert. Service is a bit of a miss - understandable as they've recently expanded and they get extremely busy when the deal is on. They forgot about our starter and only brought it out afterwards, and the whole experience was slightly chaotic. Overall, still excellent value for very good steak in London. Definitely a must visit in Tooting!

Fantastic medium rare tender rump steak, cooked to perfection. Beef dripping chips were out of this world. Chocolate cake was a a mud like consistency, it was ok. Service was friendly and polite, but the tables were a bit tightly packed, i could feel the back of the customers chair behind mine

This place never let me down. Since I’ve discovered it, I’ve enjoyed every single dish. Menu is not huge, but quality is extremely good. They also have amazing offers in place, 241 on steaks on Tuesday is a must! Definitely recommended.

The food was amazinggg, we came for the 2-4-1 steak tuesdays and it did not disappoint! However, the sauce and beef dripping fries took the show, they were terrifically made and the sauce really complemented the steak. The staff were so friendly and quick to order food/drinks, very pleasant dinner!

Lovely cosy French bistro inside Tooting Market. We went on a Wednesday to make the most of the 1kg mussels frites deal for £15. The restaurant is very small with some tables outside in the market. Ambience is nice and the service is excellent. Food was authentically French and cooked beautifully. The beef dripping chips were to die for! Crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside. Recommend the mussels however these are steamed without a white wine / cream sauce but still delicious. Escargot we’re plump and sizzling in garlic butter. Chicken liver parfait was creamy and rich, would be nice to accompany with a chutney. The confit duck leg was standout, skin beautifully crisp and the meat succulent. Interesting take to have in cream with peas but it worked marvellously. Lots of bars inside Tooting market for a drink before or after with happy hour offers.

Classic French bistro with delicious steak&fries. Chocolate&walnut cake was quite heavy, I struggled to finish it, better share it in 2 or ...go for the Tarte tatin! Currently they are also featuring roasted honey fig with creme fraiche as special dessert. Good service in a cozy restaurant. Busy Broadway market can be a maze, this restaurant is next to Pan Asian corner (in case you get lost)
