French on Sunday


Went to a rather unusual restaurant on Sunday (Fathers day) it was housed in a disused pavilion in the corner of a park off Tanner Street in Bermondsey (London). Called Pique-Nique (menu above) it was very French in character and most of the food/wine hailed from there (at least stylistically) All the mains, and there were only five of them, were sharing plates, i.e. designed to be shared between 2/3 people and the most expensive thing was a Chateaubriand (including veg) at £88 although between 3 people that's not too bad for London. We opted for roast chicken and a Coulibiac (Salmon en-croute) with a nice bottle of red, and there was a ton of food between the four of us. The food was delicious, the herb jus that came with the chicken was a particular stand out, my Son and I fought over it probably dunking a whole French stick in the process. Anyway, a really nice meal with the family, lots of chat/catching up, and a great way to spend a rather rainy Sunday afternoon!
