Review of Robert Gastro

11 Aug 07, 10:48

Mais oui! 4*

This is the sort of place that Francophiles would wax lyrical about if they found it in a tiny backstreet near Montmartre, but because it's round the corner from Clapham Common tube station, people get a bit sniffy about it.

But I think it's great - typical French food in the sort of shabby chic surroundings that seem genuine rather than contrived. Whether you're passing in the morning and need a restorative croque monsieur and a cafe au lait, or fancy a very good steak-frites later that night.

Staff are also French which adds to the atmosphere (although occasionally you may get the downside of French staff, in the form of a slightly brusque manner), on the whole though, as long as you don't have a hatred for all things Gallic, you can't really fail to like this place.

Likes sushi, rare roast beef with Yorkshire puddings, stinky cheeses, bangers and mash, and any really sour sweets like Haribo Tangfastics, vodka cocktails, Chilean Merlot, and tea with the tea bag left in it so it's properly strong, Man Utd, ink pens, shoes, particularly if they are ridiculously high heeled and brightly coloured
Dislikes stupidity, blind faith, an inability to argue coherently, bananas, hangovers, smugness
Best thing about where I live Almost all my friends live really close by and it's only 20 minutes to central London.
Worst thing about where I live The marauding foxes and squirrels that make all my gardening efforts worthless.
