Casse-Croûte is an independent French room in Bermondsey that still reads as a find — not on the tourist circuit, and the kind of place a local would send you.

Why we recommend

Tiny Bermondsey Street bistro that feels like a room you found in France, not a London concept. The menu changes daily; the cooking does not show off.
