Fish and meat restaurant in [[Locale Croydon|Croydon]]. It's the third restaurant in Malcom John's expanding empire (the others being [[Le Vacherin, W4 5LF|Le Vacherin]] and [[Le Cassoulet, CR2 6PA|Le Cassoulet]]). This one is a very much more relaxed affair than the others; your menu is your place mat, for example. The food has a French influence, and the menu basically consists of fish dishes and grilled meats. They also serve breakfast and brunch from 10am on weekends (as of June 2012).

bob, elvum, Martin, Northern Steve, and Bethan visited on a Thursday evening in April 2009. While the restaurant was moderately busy, they easily found a table for us.

bob had the yellowfin tuna tartare (£8.25) to start. It was made of good quality tuna, but I felt it lacked flavour. There was wasabi on the side but not nearly enough for my taste (that may just be me, though). For my main I had the cassoulet with octopus and ham hock (£12). This was really good; the octopus was succulent and tender, and the ham hock was pretty good too. A side order of sprouting broccoli (£3.50) was fine. Apple crumble (£6) to follow was adequate.

The wines we had were fine. They offer several by the glass or carafe. We were brought two large jugs of tap water without any fuss.

Accessibility: Toilets are down a step. No obvious sign of disabled toilets.
