Bistro popolari a Blackheath

We were a little disappointed that the set menu for lunch is now discontinued until January, but we were able to find something on the a la carte.

Nice environment. Familiar menu. Great service but some elements more expensive than expected including an expected change to the "main" size of the steak tartare. Previously main size was larger. Now main size is starter size with chips.

Everything and everyone was amazing. Gluten free options were great. Everyone enjoyed everything ordered from drinks to appetizers to entrees to deserts.

Inside is completely different to how it appears outside (to me at least). Nice interior, ambiance. Good food. Will visit again for sure.

I am in two minds. To keep this neighbourhood gem as a cherished secret so we can get a table or to trumpet it and be disappointed because it is fully booked. The location and dining spaces are beautiful, the menu is kept abbreviated so you know the ingredients used will be fresh and the service by Miro (last night) and Sue (from previous dining experiences) is delightful. The bread and butter, the wagyu burger with truffle chips, fine green beans, the moules… all made delicious, fresh. Merci
