The best restaurants serving French food in Lewisham London

Love to visit this cafe when I’m in the area visiting my family. Great food and drink at very reasonable prices in a relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff who always make a fuss of my grandaughter. A real community gem.

The coffee and food is always fantastic here, and (usually) the music is also great. Lovely high ceilings and big windows make it the perfect space to spend an afternoon working or studying. Also dog friendly, which is helpful!

We come here fairly regularly on a Sunday for the Turkish breakfast, it's great value for money. The staff are always super helpful. They got my order wrong today due to miscommunication via facemask. I thought, no problem, I'll give something different a try. Let the staff know what had happened next time waitress was near table, very apologetic and offered to swap it straight away. I didn't take them up on the offer but really appreciated their immediate response. Just as I'm typing this, the owner has turned up with a free dessert as an apology. Give it a try, rather than a bland Costa or similar nearby.

My wife and I tried this restaurant recently. The food was delicious, the prices are fair and the service was excellent. We will definitely use them again.

Great neighbourhood coffee shop with particularly friendly and helpful people. Fabulous savoury snacks and amazing patisseries.

Cote Restaurant Blackheath Walked in early Monday evening, no reservation, nicely welcomed and offered several seating options. I had a nice glass pinot noir and I ordered the Moules for a main. Didn’t have to wait long. The mussels were fresh and the sauce hot and tasty. Unfortunately more than half of the mussels shells were empty with the mussels fallen to the bottom of the bowl. The mussels were fresh and tasty but sadly well over cooked and some quite mushy. I politely showed the many empty shells with the many mussels hidden at the bottom of the bowl to the table server who nodded politely. I then decided to order another meal from the starters as I was still hungry. I ordered the cheese soufflé with a side of tomato basil salad. By this time the restaurant had filled up and the place was busy. The cheese soufflé accompanied by the tomato basil salad arrived in good time considering the increasing number of customers. The soufflé was disappointing albeit a challenging dish to prepare and cook at a moments notice. The tomato salad had large tomato wedges sparsely dressed with two very thin strings of basil. No dressing and very plain. At least the tomato wedges were fresh. I decided not to chance my luck with the deserts so I concluded my evening meal. Despite the previous not so positive reviews about the service. My experience in this regard was very good and I did not get the impression that other customers were having to wait. However, my expectations towards the overall quality, taste and presentation of the food and overall value for money for this particular restaurant were not realised and I left feeling rather disappointed.
