Le QuecumBar & Brasserie

Unique, fun, interesting alternative night in South London! Had a fab band on and the food is great... dessert too. A must visit if you haven't been before. Best to book in advance... good for family and date night. Charming find.

Two stages in a beautiful, rustic and cosy U shaped establishment tucked away on old Battersea High St. host nightly music events featuring Europe's "gypsy jazz" artists. Charming and upbeat with oustanding "home cooked" menu. The bar takes up a large centre space within the house. The back garden area is charming. The place is the best night out you can have in the area.

We’ve been to this restaurant a few times some years ago, and as soon as you enter, there’s a real warmth about it.

It’s quietly tucked away in a residential area of Battersea, and is perfectly suited to an intimate dinner with someone you love.

The live music is absolutely terrific and is somehow a winning combination with the overall quirkiness of the restaurant.

However, there’s was only one waiter, and although he was utterly lovely, our meal took a long time to reach the table. When it did arrive, it could not be faulted, but the wait was positively painful!

We didn’t feel we could hang in there for the dessert and proceeded to pay our bill. This was such a shame and, despite the ambience of the restaurant, we felt it was the only option to be had.

Great dinning experience, the food is always spot on, and has a good selection of dishes, the wine is ever flowing, the live music is great, but what makes a great dinning experience is the whole atmosphere of the place, the venue, and the incredibly sassy but hilarious staff.

Taken a few friends from east London here, and every time I love to see their faces go from , why am in the middle of Battersea to ooh I get it, it’s great!

We had fantastic food. The wow factor however wasn't the food it was our waiter Pier. We begun our dining experience at 6pm as we wanted to enjoy the 3 course early evening dining offer. I had the squid to start which was beautifully cooked & seasoned. My husband had the Catalan mushrooms which were so tasty with just the right amount of chilli. Our mains were the minted lamb shank with was so tender & served with lovely fresh seasonal veg. I opted for the haggis & scallops. The dish was well presented the haggis delicious & a great portion. I was a little disappointed with the size of the scallops but really enjoyed the whole dish. Desert was creme brulee for me & melt in the middle chocolate pudding for my hubby. Both were delicious. The highlight of our dining experience was Pierre the Swedish waiter who was hilarious, chatty & made our evening with his interesting waiting style. You just had to have been there.

Wonderfully quaint & cosy with great music & service and okay food

It’s a very cool pub with amazing decor and ambience. The gypsy jazz live music is absolutely fantastic.

The cocktails and drinks are great. The food is rustic French but to be honest, a bit of a let down. The baked Camembert was okay - let down by very average bread that a bit stale.

The tartiflette main was also nice but a bit bland. The creme brûlée dessert was stone cold. Overall we paid about £80 per person which seemed like a lot for what we had.

Well worth the visit, perhaps pick something else from the menu and watch how much you’re spending!

Great food, the coq au vin was so tasty and the wine was delicious.
Particularly lovely, friendly, and hard working waiting staff. The gypsy jazz band was fantastic too.

The whole bar is decorated with pictures of Django Reinhardt- great setting for a lovely night.

Reviewed April 2021 when indoor dining is not yet allowed. Back garden is very lovely. Food is good, a few selections but not too diverse. Lovely cocktails though. Wine might be tiny bit overpriced but just normal for London. Will be back for live music band from May.
