Babette in Southwark

Un lugar realmente encantador, pero la noche que fui, el personal estaba desesperado. Fueron muy amables pero confundieron nuestro pedido, trajeron nuestros pedidos en diferentes momentos, así que terminamos dejándonos enfriar mientras llegaban el resto de los pedidos.

Delicious baked eggs with feta and chorizo, really tasty and a good portion. The service was quite bad, they served us someone else’s breakfast at one point

Have never complained about a restaurant before but the staff made four mistakes with our orders and preferred to drink wine at the bar than take our orders. When we asked for the food they were very rude. Compelled to leave a review because it was so appalling.

Esta fue nuestra primera visita a este restaurante francés y qué lugar tan hermoso, por dentro. Digo adentro porque mientras caminábamos hacia ella, nuestra hija lo señaló y parecía un viejo y sucio pub abandonado sin señales obvias desde el otro lado de la carretera. Una vez dentro, sin embargo, nos impresionó la comodidad, la iluminación y el gran ambiente. Nuestra hija había reservado una mesa para 3 para nuestra última noche en Londres. Fue perfecto. El gerente Laurine nos dio una cálida bienvenida que no pudo hacer lo suficiente por nosotros toda la noche. Teníamos 2 platos mixtos para compartir, carne y pescado, gran variedad, perfectamente cocinado y grandes porciones. El vino en oferta fue de gran calidad. No podemos recomendarlo lo suficiente. ¡Ve, no te decepcionará!

Reservamos una mesa grande para una gran cena de cumpleaños familiar y tuvimos una comida deliciosa y una gran noche. El lugar es encantador y el servicio es bueno. Estoy seguro de que volveremos, ¿gracias?

Best place for food, fun and relaxing. Highly recommended. For romance, party and more. Love this cozy friendly restaurant.

We have been meaning to visit and try this local restaurant for ages. We went very early as it was last minute but that was ideal as we had about an hour when we could have normal conversation. It gets very noisy when it fills up which it does. Think it is popular for celebrations. I love restaurants with small plates and here too sharing boards which are filled with all kinds of tasty morsels. We followed with the crispy goats cheese and honey (in filo) delicious and a shared desert board too. What a great idea that is. Prices seemed reasonable given we had drinks too. I think there might be times the noise might get to me but I liked the pared back interior and friendly staff. Will definitely go back.

an old pub that is now, mainly, a restaurant but with still the 'old pub' feel & atmosphere. the food we had was mix and share tapas/mezze style, with nothing left at the end. Good for 2 or small parties. A very limited beer selection.

This is a pub that has re-invented itself as a tapas bar/restaurant specialising in sharing plates and quirky cocktails. It is very popular at present but am not sure it will last - great for a party crowd but not for a one to one dinner - somewhere you go for the atmosphere maybe more than the food - it is neither bar nor cafe nor restaurant - in the long term it might have to opt for one!!

We reserved a table and were seated immediately. The restaurant was not full. We were a family of 3 adults and 2 children aged 5 and 3 years old. They took our order but even though it was 1230 we waited 40 minutes for our food to arrive in dribs and crabs with other tables being served before us even though they arrived after us. Our orders arrived with the last plate being served 12 minutes after the rest of us with the children's toasted sandwiches arriving after the first two adults. I think that they forgot our orders which was in excess of £60. Not good service. I won't be back for brunch especially with children. Apparently their platters after 4pm are great but if the service doesn't improve I'm not sure if I'll risk it.

A couple of friends adviced this place we came last evening and we were very impressed by the quality quantity and price of the food. Well done Babette and her amazing Staff . Will coming back soon . Bises Wojteck &Noel

Went back to Babette last night and had a great evening with some friends. Service was great and we enjoyed two sharing platters with some lovely rose perfect for a summer evening.

Can't praise this place enough. I went with 6 friends for my birthday and had a lovely time. Babette is a lovely host, and the food was delicious. Definitely going to show this restaurant to visiting friends and family.

Its an old pub turned into a cafe/ restaurant.Its informal with friendly staff including the owner who is very welcoming. Food has varied a little over the three years I have occasionally visited but always good enough for a late breakfast or lunch. Ingredients carefully chosen - some excellent salads and cold plates of fish or meat. One of my favourite dishes is Eggs Benedict and that has always been good here with many variations usually available. Can be a little crowded with young families at lunchtime so do not expect a blissfully quiet environment. Lovely room especially in the sunshine.

This place has that chic/easy going feel about it. Staff were lovely and friendly. We had to wait a while for the food but it was indeed really lovely and worth the wait. The only downside was the cold. A little bit of heating would go a long way on a cold February day. But still am happy to go back when the weather is slightly warmer 😄

We had amazing food there, very good value. Friendly staff, laureen made us laugh so much. I would definitely go back.

Went for food on a sunny winter Sunday. The space was busy, warm and welcoming. The staff went above and beyond and made us feel so looked after, even though the place was packed. The food itself was delicious. I ordered a vegetarian wellington roast...

An unusual restaurant, in a good way, with an emphasis on sharing platters. The food was absolutely excellent, WE had a vegetarian platter and a fish platter between 4 of us. Tasty items like crispy cauliflower, fish pie - I could go on. It waS...

My third visit to Babette in two months and the quality and consistency of the food remains. The shared platters are a particular delight with their considerable collection of very tasty little sample dishes. Reasonably priced for what you get and in this converted old...

We shared a veggie and fish platter between 3 of us and a portion of chicken wings. Both platters were delicious but a little expensive for the size. Delicious mojito made to specification too!

Second time we have visited Babette's. The first time we had a great meat sharing platter - superb. Today we had a absolutely delicious Sunday Roast - belly pork with a really tasty selection of vegetables. Add to that the great beers and wines they...

Were strongly recommended to visit and glad we did. A really casual and friendly place with all the menus up on blackboards with a choice of sharing platters and a reasonable range of other options. Will be coming back again.

We went to this place for a family birthday after hearing good things about it. We weren’t disappointed. The sharing plates are great. We had three between four of us which was just right. Wash it all down with the house merlot (from Romania) -...

Sharing platters plus a few while dishes, cosy friendly service. Packed when we visited - the locals are liking it. Well executed simple dishes and a relaxed casual atmosphere.

Highly recommend. Food always high quality and very tasty mix of food on the platters. Vegetarian platter was exceptional.

AMAZING Food, amazing service, great atmosphere....great drinks, Sunday roasts are the best anywhere in the area

We had a party of ten for my partners 60th birthday and we had a fantastic evening . The veggie fish and meat sharing plates were full of variety and flavour . Other courses were varied and interesting . It felt like a private party...

I love Babette..I've been many times. The reason why? Firstly the atmosphere, lighting perfect, muted colours, a warm and welcoming environment that automatically makes you feel at home. Secondly, Babette, she's wonderful, it's like you've entered her dining room and she's invited you. Thirdly...the food,...

Absolutely blown away by the food we had here ,cosy local pub atmosphere with seriously tasty menu of small plates .

Had another delish Sunday roast here last month's. The roast potatoes are better than me mum's (hope she doesn't read this) and it's topped off with a monster Yorkie pud. We will return.

In the words of Frank Zappa... don't tell me no Babette. We arrived into an empty restaurant at just after 6pm and the woman behind the bar forced us to sit on two uncomfortable stools. She could have told us that there were free tables...

The wine list is varied, optioning reds and whites from fruity and robust to dry and crisp. A refined cocktail menu offering enough aperitifs and digestifs for an evenings indulgence. The sharing boards themselves (meaty & veggie) are an eclectic mix of various mouthfuls, each...

A little of a place! Great food and a lovely vibe and decor. The prices are quite reasonable too! Oddly you are told to order at the bar even though it's a very small pub and there are more than enough staff for table service....

This place was recommended by friends , and we were not dissapointed - the interior is charming with exposed brickwork and a sophisticated rustic feel - All the staff were fabulous . I always find it hard to find a place that serves a sunday...

What can I say about this place? It's a gem and I'm so lucky to have it on my doorstep. Really amazing food served as sharing plates and ultra friendly staff. The quality of the food is by no means reflected in the price and...
