Le Bouchon Bordelais
5-9 Battersea Rise
London SW11 Telephone 020 7738 0307 After a stroll on the common it is well worthwhile popping into Le Bouchon Bordelais for lunch or dinner.
This gem of a French brasserie has been around for quite a while. I used to drop in with friends in the wine trade for a glass or two and perhaps a croque monsieur.
Today is seems to have expanded somewhat like my waistline, now there is a brasserie, a bar and the restaurant. All look quite French, certainly French enough to an inhabitant of that country to feel at home. The wine list is very good with some wonderful surprises hard to find in London like Picpoul de Pinet. I have never found this delicious and inexpensive white wine in the UK before. It is my favourite Sunday lunch tipple to wash down my oysters. Each Sunday I buy a dozen in the market for 3.50 Euros and a bottle of the aforesaid wine for a similar price.
