We returned for the themed Normandy night in April (the next 'themed' evening is on 30 April '08: 5 course gastronomique menu).
The food was excellent - fish pate and an amuse-bouche of a glass of warm liquid asparagus (you could call it soup!) before the main three courses: marinated herrings; Normandy chicken on mash (with cider and cream, of course) or an exceptionally lovely lemon sole dish in a creamy mushroom sauce; and pear in puff pastry or a marvellous array of French cheeses including a really runny Saint Marcellin; and coffee. I haven't had a better cheese board even IN France, never mind out of it!
The cost was £17.95 each - quite amazing value, especially as a bottle of the most expensive white wine, a Montrachet 2004, was only £26.95. Highly recommended.]]> Fri, 18 Apr 2008 13:01:37 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92p7u/le-p-tit-normand62094937 french family & home feel good value 51.450332 -0.199304 Le P'tit Normand - review by CaryMarsh http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92p7u/le-p-tit-normand

Tags: French, local clientele, civilised

Le P'tit Normand is a small French restaurant situated rather unpromisingly in a Southfields parade of shops. It seems to have a loyal clientele of local people, and the atmosphere is quietly relaxed. The menu is traditional and features things like fish soup, mussels, saddle of lamb, duck with prunes, sea bass, creme caramel, tarte tatin and a fine cheeseboard. We've been several times and have largely been pleased with our choices, though occasionally there's a 'miss' rather than a hit - for example my 'tagine of lamb' contained some unexpected kidneys which were very undercooked for British tastes. Service can be warm and attentive, but can also be surprisingly slow, with long patches where you wonder if they have forgotten you. On the whole, we don't mind this as it is a pleasing contrast to those restaurants where they hurry you out so that they can settle another bunch of diners at your table. Average price about £30 a head for three courses with house wine.]]> Mon, 28 May 2007 15:30:09 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92p7u/le-p-tit-normand1405808882 French local clientele civilised 51.450332 -0.199304
