Stopped here on a chance whilst my train was delayed. Someone here knows what they are doing. Great service, authentic French cuisine, and well sourced wine. All reasonably priced. A gem that I will return to.

My first foray into London bistro food. It’s hyper local, food is obviously (by that logic) great. Customer isn’t really always right here. Don’t do for guest experience but the wholesomeness of it all - food, drinks (priced reasonably and somehow from the FoH always happy to help to navigate it) and the delicious desserts. They do a brunch coffee, with a tart or a pudding - and I’ve had several of those over a cigarette on my lunch breaks. It all happens here - and lucky if you’re in the neighbourhood. :) PS: I actually drew my 2020-21 Christmas card around a meal I had there, post lockdown.

This is a sublime French restaurant to spend a special occasion—or even a mundane one. Thoughtfully prepared dishes in a cosy setting. You can sit outside when the sun is shining. Rotating, seasonal menu. Oh là là.

Stopped by for lunch here and I had a great time. The two staff were helpful and translated the menu for me (it was written in French). I had the boeuf en croute and a glass of wine: both were spectacular. The restaurant itself had a cute vintage "grandma's front room" decor. I look forward to going again.

It’s really cosy and atmospheric. Unfortunately they just didn’t nail it with the food. For the price, everything should have been utterly delicious. Ultimately we found my salmon starter delicious and everything else was just fine. Quite large portion sizes.

Éramos un grupo de cinco, que a menudo tienen gustos muy diferentes, pero todos nos encantó Casse - Croute. Es un menú pequeño, solo 3 opciones por curso, pero está bien ejecutado. Los tamaños de las porciones eran generosos y deliciosos. Un amigo, que sabe mucho más sobre vinos que yo, pensó que la carta de vinos pequeños también era buena. Un miembro del personal nos habló a través del menú de pizarra escrito en francés. El servicio fue rápido cuando hicimos una señal para más pan o vino. Es un lugar pequeño, pero tenía un buen zumbido. Sin bar para pre-bebidas, fuimos al pub al otro lado de la calle. Necesidad de reservar con antelación.

Tuvimos una gran comida que solo tenía una desventaja (bastante material) (ver más tarde). La comida era excelente, porciones generosas y realmente muy delicioso. Gran ambiente, animado. Lo malo era el servicio. La francesa de la trenza larga era brillante, impecable. El francés con la camisa a cuadros y el pelo abultado era realmente horrible. Fue grosero, describió mal varios platos del menú (tuvimos que pedir dos veces aclaraciones a la excelente francesa) , no pudo responder a ninguna pregunta muy básica con respecto a la carta de vinos (teniendo en cuenta que no es larga) y se irritó cuando se le preguntó, no trajo artículos solicitados (y nuevamente se irritó cuando se le preguntó) , y en general fue muy grosero con una manera muy extraña. Nos hizo sentir como si fuéramos generalmente un inconveniente (y somos super bajo mantenimiento / bajo esfuerzo y ordenó tres cursos cada uno con cero solicitudes especiales). Volveríamos de no ser por él.

A very busy little restaurant with a great atmosphere. I made an appointment at 8:30 and rushed all the way to order the meal at almost 9 o'clock. The appetizer was celery soup. The strong and unpleasant celery flavor that I expected was completely absent. It had a very creamy taste. This soup was really delicious. There is also a beef salad as an appetizer. The sauce in the salad part is very surprising. You will be surprised at the first bite. The main course was duck breast and sea bass. Duck breast is served with mashed potatoes and a little salad. The sauce is a little bit heavy, but if you mix it with mashed potatoes, it won't be so abrupt. The green leafy vegetables that go with the seabass are so rich, and they are not fishy or greasy at all. It is the first time I eat seabass with such a large number of vegetables. It is really great. The dessert is pistachio soufflé, which is very fragrant and crispy and melts in your mouth. Their menu is different every day. I like this kind of restaurant very much. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. The waiter will help you explain it in English and tell you what is included in the main meal. If you don't know the wine list when ordering wine, you can ask them to pair the wine with your meal. It will be a great experience for the whole night. Strong recommendation. btw it’s really busy so be sure to book a spot in advance.

Burned my mouth on scalding hot soup. No warning given. Casse- croûte is a small French bistro style restaurant. I ordered soupe de champignons as my starter. The first spoonful was so hot it caused burns to my tongue & the roof of my mouth. I am still in pain several hours later & may require medical treatment. Of course, you expect soup to be served hot, obviously. BUT if it is served at such a scaldingly hot temperature that it could cause physical burns, the customer should always be warned properly and advised to allow it to cool to a safe temperature. I was given no such warning.

Casse - croûte es un pequeño restaurante de estilo bistró francés. Pedí sopa de champignons como entrada. La primera cucharada estaba tan caliente que me causó quemaduras en la lengua y el techo de la boca. Todavía tengo dolor varias horas después y puede requerir tratamiento médico. Por supuesto, esperas que la sopa se sirva caliente, obviamente. PERO si se sirve a una temperatura tan caliente que pueda causar quemaduras físicas, el cliente siempre debe ser advertido adecuadamente y aconsejado para que se enfríe. No se me dio tal advertencia.

Amazing food, really cosy lovely French bistro and good wine. They were good at up-selling, however never mentioned the 2 hour window for dinner at the time of booking or when we reorder wine with our cheese. So got suddenly asked (for us!) to pay and leave the table with 4 people waiting next to us for our space. No explanation or apologies. Didn't get to finish the wine, barely had time to put our knife down for the cheese. A disappointed end to a lovely meal, especially for the price we paid.

Chewing this meat felt like I accidentally ordered the 'Gym Membership Special' every bite was a full-body workout! I’m pretty sure my jaw gained muscle mass by the end of the meal.

Este es un lugar pintoresco. Un lugar muy pequeño, estilo bistró con un ambiente cálido e íntimo (tiene mesas diminutas) que te hace sentir que estás en un pequeño rincón de París. Tenía grandes esperanzas - mi primo, que es francés y un buen cocinero como yo, ha comido allí y lo encontró sabroso. Sin embargo, eso fue hace bastante tiempo. Estaba decepcionado. La sopa de vichysoise era verde brillante y tenía un sabor desagradable. Fue reticente de las horribles sopas servidas por los cafés National Trust, basados en el tipo más barato de catering en polvo, algo parecido al pegamento, que han estado sentados en un gran "caldero de catering". No había evidencia de ningún puerro. Quería devolverlo, pero esto habría molestado a mi amigo. Le fue mejor con su elección de paté, pero estaba bien. La red era mejor. La mejilla de ternera cocinada en salsa bourguignon era cálida y auténtica y su plato de pescado se servía en una sabrosa salsa que contenía buen caldo, acompañado de una encantadora variedad de verduras. Lamentablemente, el pescado estaba demasiado cocido y por lo tanto ligeramente seco. En cuanto a nuestro vino, está bien. En resumen, esta comida no era nada para escribir en casa y bastante caro para lo que era. Yo recomendaría ir a Casse - Croute solo para los aperitivos del bar. Solo puedo presumir, en base a otras críticas, que este restaurante se ha ido a la olla, o estaba teniendo un mal día... No oí acento francés entre sus comensales, lo que supongo que es una mala señal.

The food was generally very good although I was disappointed by the desert. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. Definitely on the pricier side but I would say the food deserves the price tag. However in the context of that price, while the service is fine, the 15% service charge left a bit of a sour taste at the end of the meal.

Lovely atmosphere and love the old school feeling and having to call and make a booking etc. As the menu changes I suppose it really depends on when you go how happy you will be. We weren’t overly impressed with tonights selection but have friends who have gone and had the beef wellington and said that it was to die for. So I think it can be hit and miss due to the menu selection

Good overall experience and great service. The issue was the lack of options left on the menu. Little surprised as we arrived at 8:15 to find even on the tiny menu things had run out. Would recommend getting there earlier in the evening. Cassoulet was excellent. Cheese selection was OK, was hoping for ripe gooey cheese but not the case. Would I go again, definitely but I would go earlier.

Duck cassoulet was poor. Very tough to the extent that I gave up trying to remove the meat from the bone. Desserts were brilliant. Overall I'd say that the vibe is good but the sister restaurant, Pique Nique, does better food.

Visited on a Tuesday and had an early evening meal. First impressions were good - felt like an authentic French eatery with the battered bar for people who just want a glass of red or espresso. We got a snug table near the street from where we could see the famous black board. Chose Fish soup for a starter which was excellent - packed full of flavour - not too heavy but equally no mistaking the garlic, pepper and stock. The main course was disappointing in comparison though - another fish dish but it wasn't quite hot (or tasty) enough to justify the price tag. I believe that if it were to take itself a bit more seriously, and do away with some of the indifference (not a bad thing per se but feels like it's getting in the way of a really great customer experience here) Casse Croute could be a 5 out of 5. But at the moment, it's a 4 for food and a 4 for service. Shame, because it feels like a really good restaurant is trying to break out from behind that long wooden counter.

Evening with friends, they took me to this wonderful restaurant (thanks guys!). Everything was really excellent, from the marinated fish starter to the meat (entrecôte) served with potatoes in a small pan - amazing!! For dessert, roasted apricots with sablé biscuit and white cheese jelly on top... all incredibly good and we split it because we were really full as the portions are generous. Things to know: the place is small so book in advance, the portions are reasonable, the food is excellent and the price is right (I spent just over £50). The excellent Sébastien who served us is half French... and half from Biella (!) in case you feel like speaking in Italian!

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner as she is a fan of French cuisine. It was on my list for a while as I had heard how good their food was supposed to be and also knew that it's hard to book a table so I advised my friends to book early. We managed to get a table outside for 6pm on a Saturday and thankfully it was really good weather too. The service was fantastic although they are extremely short staffed. They maintained their professionalism throughout the evening, even making jokes with us and making sure we knew what was on the menu and explained very clearly what each menu item meant in French. We decided to go with a garlic yoghurt dip with bread and then a ham and cheese puff pastry as starters and they were both fantastic. The dip was refreshing and savoury and the bread was grilled to perfection, super crunchy. I loved the puff pastry too which was flaky and the cheese was so rich. For mains, we went for the onglet with gratin and the sea bass to share. The onglet was really tender and flavourful and the potato gratin was so yummy. Sea bass on the other hand was rather average. My friend made a special request with the restaurant and they very nicely put a candle on top of some almond butter financiers and they were delicious. Overall, it's an absolutely fantastic experience with very good food. I will definitely come back again to try the beef wellington next time (it wasn't stated on the menu so we had assumed that they weren't selling for the day).

We went with the wine and champagne that was recommended and the barista definitely knew his pairings! I would recommend going at lunch time, as you have a much more relaxed atmosphere and can take your time, as dinner gets a little busy.

Affordable price for the high quality of food they serve. We highly recommend this restaurant and definitely we will return many times. Really happy with our choices too.

Muy buenas delicias francesas, con buen sabor en este restaurante íntimo y agradable. La comida era excelente y el servicio era típicamente francés. Fue una gran comida

The environment and service were excellent, cozy atmosphere and friendly staffs. However, the food actually disappointed me. I ordered the Cod fish, they are overcooked, and the sauce is lack of the layers of taste, which I didn’t expect to eat.

A brilliantly traditional French restaurant nestled in the heart of London. Feels like a step back in time, in the best way possible. The food was deliciously rich and there was enough for me to leave with a full belly, and I eat a lot! Would definitely recommend.

La comida era genial! El ambiente era genial! El servicio fue genial! Cerca del Museo de la Moda y el Textil encontramos este maravilloso restaurante francés. Nuestra amiga Sue tiene mucha experiencia en restaurantes franceses (ella iba cada año a Francia). Ella amaba este lugar - tan típicamente francés dijo. El menú cambia todos los días. La comida era deliciosa. Vimos el ruibarbo fresco llegar, pero lamentablemente no tuvo tiempo para el pastel de ruibarbo. Debo volver pronto mientras está en temporada.

The quality of food was beyond excellent. It's slightly on the pricier end, but is well worth the visit.

Una joya absoluta de un restaurante francés! Gran ambiente y un servicio amable eficiente. Tendrás que hacer una reserva ya que este es un restaurante popular, por una buena razón! Excelente menú diario con platos franceses frescos de temporada, bellamente presentados y con grandes sabores. Algunos vinos y quesos interesantes también. Las porciones son razonables y disfrutamos de una excelente comida de 3 platos. El tártaro de pescado era excelente, así como los espárragos con huevo escalfado en espuma de espárragos cremosa se sirvieron con delicioso pan francés. La pata de conejo rellena de verduras era divina, al igual que el Skate. Lo bañamos con un vino blanco muy civilizado de Abymes como se recomienda. Choco Ratón con galletas bretonas era ricamente divino. El helado con fresas estaba delicioso. ¡Regresaremos! Es un gran hallazgo y merecedor de su reputación.

I come to this contemporary, chic and expensive bakery every now and then to buy a slice of cake or a croissant and a coffee for a hefty price. The quality is undeniably good and I will keep coming. My criticsm has to be considered as constructive. This morning I came here with my girlfriend for breakfast to have a croissant and a cappuccino. Price for two croissants and two cappuccinos was 17 pounds. No table service, the girl at the till wasn't very polite and the worst of it all is that for the price you pay you don't even get a plate for your croissant and your coffee in a proper ceramic mug (like every other cafè/bar on this planet, outside of London). I am are really tired of making these companies rich, when the service is non-existent and also there is no environmental consciousness at all. Sustainability is crucial nowadays and how can it be possible that in a luxurious bakery, you have to drink your coffee in a paper cup, and your fruit juice is served in a plastic cup. Are you too lazy and cheap to hire a person to clean the tables and wash the cups? This complaint can easily be extended to 50% of new cafés in London

This place is a hidden gem It’s in the castle centre at the elephant & castle All food is freshly cooked and you can even tell them what sort of things you like to eat and you will be served with an amazing meal of everything you like, You can get lovely sandwiches, rolls or other types of tasty bread filled with your choice of food. They do lovely smoothies in lots of healthy ingredients. The Sevice is top class, and all so very clean The prices are just right in fact better then other coffee shops near. You must give this place a go , just pop in and look at the lovely display and menu and you won’t want to eat or drink anywhere else round the elephant and castle 6 of us had a Moroccan meal today and it was so nice and will be back very soon .

I got a tarte with strawberries but I was pretty disappointed as there was only a thin layer of cream. Strawberries not to tasty either. I'd expect something better for 5 pounds little tarte
