Harden's survey result
Summary
Converted from a building in Tanner Street Park, this Gallic fixture in Bermondsey is sibling to nearby Casse-Croûte and known as a culinary bright spark in the area. It can be a tad “inconsistent” though (“three servings of the same dish (saddle of lamb) produced one that was very good; one that was reasonable; and one that had to be returned to the kitchen!”)
Summary
“One of the most oddly-located restaurants you can imagine”, this “authentically French” outfit (sibling to Casse-Croûte on nearby Bermondsey Street) “looks like an ex-tennis clubhouse opposite a kids’ playground”. It’s a “charming and delightful place”, though, and the food is of “high quality” – sometimes “simply superb”.
Summary
“Just love the sheer over-Frenchness of Pique-Nique!” – “quirky” sister restaurant of Bermondsey’s Casse-Croûte nearby. “They make the best out of their odd converted park pavilion building” – a “random Alpine chalet-looking thing next to a kids’ playground and overlooking tennis courts” – and the terrace by Tanner Street Park can be “lovely on a summer’s evening”. “Very tasty and generous” sharing plates are par for the course, including “Chateaubriand that’s an absolutely wonderful monster – plenty for three people” and “offal tart just stuffed with rich flavour”.
Summary
“Sister restaurant of nearby Casse Croute” that occupies a funny, mock-Tudor building (built as a shelter) on the borders of Tanner Street Park, complete with bar and open kitchen. The traditional Gallic cuisine – though good – lacks the all-round excellence of its sibling: service, though “friendly”, is “a bit more sloppy”; and the environment is “cosy but a little less so”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
