Champagne + Fromage in Southwark

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 .

We went to the restaurant after booking a couple of weeks in advance but years of saying we really wanted to go. It looks the part and is lovely inside. Sadly, the food was disappointing. Starters were at best, good. The mains, however, were incredibly poor. I had fish (on the bone) with new potatoes and my partner had the steak. It quite literally was just fat, and had no taste whatsoever. The table right next to us had the same and pushed it around their plates before leaving promptly. My partner mentioned to the waiter his dislike and was met with a 'stare' that was then directed at me ? I was shocked at the unprofessionalism. As the restaurant is small, it was very awkward. Anyway, we paid our £120 and left. We will not be returning. Had we had a more professional waiter, we would've just put it down to making the wrong choice on the menu - but it was actually the waiters response that made our mind up that we a) would not be returning, and b) wrote this review.

Absolute find! loved this place, great atmosphere and fantastic music, a must to visit!

Probably one the of the best croissants in London . At the very end of Maltby market you will find under the arch what I dare to say true french croissants . Wide selection of other vienoiseries and also worth noticing, they sell frozen ready to bake products (even croissant dough , so you can actually get creative with it) . Coffee is really nice. Truly awesome breakfast place.

Terrible service for a night out with my daughter for a special occasion. Ordered 2 drinks at 6.50 and waited 15 mins while other tables seated after we did were served. I asked the Maître D’ how long our drinks would be as we had a table at The Shard booked for dinner. He shrugged his shoulders and continued to welcome new guests into the establishment. I got up to ask him again, This time he said I could go to the bar to order.. I went to the bar and was told “table service only” I explained we ordered 20 mins ago and we were still waiting - just for 2 drinks!!!!! We sat back down and waited as we were then told our order hadn’t been out through the system. No apology. We finally were presented our drinks as we got up to leave and we had one sip and explained to the waiter why we couldn’t finish them as we needed to go to the restaurant. He muttered we were rude when we turned away. A ruined pre dinner drinks. Will not be returning
