"On a corner of Bermondsey Street, this little French spot has red and white checked tablecloths, a blackboard menu with Garamond calligraphy, and a ceiling covered in flirty lipstick kiss-stamped business cards. In case the decor doesn’t give it away, this is somewhere for regaling and romancing. Tender moments shared over a towering mille-feuille and red wine anniversary kisses over a plate of saucisson and beaufort d’Alpage. You bring the person, Casse-Croûte will do the rest.

"If you have ever mentioned Serge Gainsbourg in casual conversation, you’re going to love Casse-Croûte. This charming, tiny French restaurant on a corner of Bermondsey Street has red and white tablecloths, a complimentary basket of fluffy, sliced bread, and a soundtrack of ‘40s singers and saxophones. Gaze longingly at the ‘FROMAGES’ section on the blackboard menu—or at a significant other, if that’s your preference—and then enter a truly profound butter haze as flaky feuilleté jambon and towering mille-feuille hit your table. Bienvenue en France, bébé. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"This one goes out to anyone who refuses to dress for the weather. One day, scientists will study you—a flimsy, flapping shirt under a microscope—but for now we suggest spending your evening reclining on the red leather banquette seating in Casse-Croûte. At the charming French restaurant on a corner of Bermondsey Street, the blackboard is a one-way ticket to an imaginary destination we like to call Butter Chaud. Expect classics loaded with cream, comté, and other gloriously satisfying things that will stop your teeth chattering. Yes, even if it’s eight degrees and you’ve made the sensational choice to wear denim cut-offs." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"This is a shot of warm, villagey France in Bermondsey with a daily changing menu of smartly executed French classics. The reasonably priced food delivers flavours upon flavours and the wine list has some absolute belters. This tiny restaurant in a former sandwich ship is bijou and delicious, and utterly Gallic. The Guardian say ‘saying it’s a bit French is like saying cheese is a bit nice’ - we couldn’t have put it better." - Superfantastic
"Casse-Croûte is so charming it hurts. On a corner of Bermondsey Street, this little French spot is home to red and white check tablecloths, a blackboard menu with Garamond calligraphy, and inevitably, London’s highest concentration of Jean-Pierre Jeunet mega-fans. Every starter, main, and dessert has the capacity to knock you into a butter haze and although the menu changes daily, if the glorious double-decker mille-feuille is on, you definitely want to order it. Oh, and whether you’re swinging by for lunch or dinner, book ahead. This charmer is permanently packed. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
