Brasserie Toulouse Lautrec

Brasserie Toulouse Lautrec is probably one of the best restaurants to go to. This is my thrid visit at the brasserie. We were always welcomed with open arms. I am new to the area and proud that I made the right move. The brasserie holds this unique french charm, maybe its the food, the service, the live music or the french speaking waitresses. Whatever it is the combination of all these made the experience warm unlike many contemporary restaurant where you feel unwelcomed.

I had tried a few dishes already so far the cote de boeuf for 2 was wonderfully cooked to perfection. The lamb was my partners favourite dish as it was cooked for 24 hours. I sometimes wonder how it becomes so tender. I have to admit although all of the dishes I tried looked and tasted delicious, I find the menu somewhat limited in fish options. As for dessert the choc fondant is to die for with white chocolate ice cream.

Every evening there is live jazz music in the wine bar on the 1st floor, this is great for me and my wife to enjoy a night out with a hearty meal after a hard days work. The smoking terrace is another bonus as well are the victorian style toilets. Our next visit might be in the private dining room where there is no hire fee apparently.

We arrived on a Sunday lunchtime and the place empty, which turned out to be difficult to understand. I had a lovely creamy scrambled egg with salmon and toasted muffin (we were only after a quick lunch as we had another appointment to attend), and my partner had the toulouse sausages with a gorgeous pomme puree.

We both loved the food, loved the quality of the decor, cutlery etc.

We came back later for a glass of wine and to listen to the jazz band playing upstairs in the wine bar. Excellent three piece band, but again we were the only ones there.

This restaurant/bar needs your support London!
