I like the red exterior!


And yes, it has to be better than the French place round the corner.


Really looking forward to trying it.

Me too, it's a typical French restaurant colour.

I suppose they could've gone for a more contemporary colour, but with the interior and menu they're obviously keeping it all very traditional...

My French is very poor but I read one, two or three pieces of cheese. Am I wrong?

In France I would expect a proper cheese trolley with regional cheeses and the choice of up to 3 or 4 cheeses at one price (there is a restaurant I know just outside Calais that manages a brace of trolleys!). I hope you get to choose your one, two, or three slices - rather than them being forced on you without choice.

Love oysters - that's why I'm going to Franklins tonight. Oysters and chunky chips :)


Hope BonneBouffe does really well - can't wait to try it. Love all things French.

Sue I am fully in agreement with you on this, the other French option I presume you are referring to is not upto the standard it should be in more ways than one. I think my disappointment with the colour is that I now associate that colour with Cafe Rouge, a restaurant which whilst perfectly adequate, isn't remotely French. The only French 'chain' I like is C?te Brasserie (who should be in this area by now and I am confused as to why they're still not here).


Louisa.

Mick Mac and Jeremy, you know damn well that Le Moulin was a fine FRENCH restaurant, Eric was a Frenchman for goodness sakes. They provided many regional specialities, most of which would be unrecognisable to most 'supposed' forum connoisseurs of authentic French cuisine! Anyhow, this isnt the time or place to be digging at long gone successful institutions. I'm not willing to go into the menu options here, you are both fully aware of Le Moulin and it's superb menu.


Louisa.

Not a dig at this new place; more at London restaurants in general, but they really have packed the tables in. Obviously got to maximise revenue where rents are high, but for this reason eating out is becoming a less and less pleasant experience.

Good old days. I was right though.. having a dirty, unreadable menu board outside isn't very clever! They did clean it up though. And we did try it (and enjoyed it).

No. The menu and the picture of it on Instagram has been corrected.

Haha, I pity anyone brave enough to start a new business who is exposed to the fierce gales of the EDF! ;-)


This looks lovely, really nice to see someone opening up a new business.? Looks like they've done it beautifully and look forward to trying it.

The menu is very similar to that of Brasserie Zedel at Piccadilly Circus, including the cheese pricing - something I applaud, this kind of French Bistro cooking is disappearing but l love it - fully in accord with Louisa on this one.

Oh dear, I was quite disappointed with Brasserie Zedel, though admittedly I've only been there once and it was for the set lunch.


And admittedly I haven't been to France for about thirty years so am rather out of touch with French cooking :))

Back on topic: had dinner at La Bonne Bouffe with the other Mr Derwent Grove tonight. We think this place has much potential. Delightful staff, a charming room/ambience and well executed French classics. Definitely worth a look.

It was a great restaurant but I think Eric was Swiss.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
