Bistro Chez Lucie

Every local neighbourhood needs a restaurant like this. Not too fancy or trendy; just reasonably priced (for this day and age) and good quality.

We had a really lovely meal. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the cocktails and the wine were excellent. A great restaurant with a great atmosphere. Will definitely be returning soon

We were well looked after and enjoyed the food - my wife’s boeuf bourgignon was not hot so we sent it back to be reheated, but not a problem - the music we loved - have booked a return visit

There are pleasant atmosphere and lovely food. We had great time.

Highly recommended local restaurant with great food and welcoming staff.

Mixed feedback from our table of 3, great wine, average service pleasant enough but no real friendly effort as a first time visitor. Tartiflette delicious and would recommend to all, but Beef Bourguignon lacked flavour as did the average mash, starters great.

We had a lovely dinner, delicious authentic French food and a lovely Cotes du Rhone wine, with excellent service in a cosy atmosphere.

All the dishes were exceptional, very happy with the.l visit.

Lovely meal and service. Menu not huge but the starters and sharing plates were perfect.

Very nice and cosy. Traditional French bistro style and ambience. Will be back.

Excellent value and service, delicious food and pleasant ambiance. Great evening.

Delightful & charming French Bistro serving traditional classic French food. Opposite Gypsy Hill train station (easy to park). We celebrated a family birthday on Sunday, delicious food, nice wine list -the maitrede is on point & mixes excellent cocktails & a chef who knows their onions -what's not to like. Onion soup totally delicious -as was the confit de canard. It also happens to be next to the totally excellent Bull & Finch bar if you happen to be a craft beer aficionado. (Gypsy Hill/Crystal Palace's best kept secret)

Delicious food and a nice ambience. The crepes are the real deal!

Delicious authentic French Cuisine. Lovely ambiance and great service. Highly recommended. Thought the prices were very reasonable for such great quality.

Authentic French Cuisine hits the spot in quiet part of South London. Small number of tables. Friendly front of house. The mains were rich and hearty. We ate Beef Bourguignon and Duck Confit. Both were delicious and generous portion sizes. A lovely meal with excellent French wine selection.

the food is good but quite expensive for a south london location in a slightly tatty dark interior

Very quaint little place, with very good traditional French food and excellent waiting staff.

The food was at best, below average. Stale bread, followed by tasteless food. Empty on a Friday evening for a reason. Our one and only visit

Delicious food, excellent value but lacking on atmosphere - the staff could try to make you feel more welcome and create ‘energy’

Little gem hidden away on Gypsy Hill well worth a visit. Typical French style bistro with good reasonably priced cooking and relaxed ambience with personal unobtrusive service. Wish we had found it years ago. Will go again

Tasty food- well served- classic French. Courses well spaced out. All had more than usual. Great service. Nice surroundings. Definitely going again

We had a great evening, lovely food and atmosphere. Many thanks!

Very friendly service, lovely food and drink. Well worth it. Thanks

Wonderful neighbourhood restaurant - just go! Genuine French food and absolutely delicious. Mussels were lovely, beef Bourgogne highly satisfying, and crème brûlée was a real proper joy. Went on a quiet Wednesday night and was somehow both special and relaxing. Take a date, take your mum, take friends! Came out comforted, full and very impressed. These are good people doing great food - for prices comparable to local pubs, but with a whole load of je ne sais quoi. A special place.

Lovely home-style food and welcoming staff. A great local gem

Best things were location,decor, wine and waiter at chez Lucie. But the overriding issue was the food we firstly had to wait for our starters a good 45 mins. Which the waiter did say their was an issue in the kitchen but we ploughed on with the meal everything was tasteless and the sauces/soup lacked flavour very thin and watery I had canard confit and the potatoes weren't cooked through still hard so all in all we won't be returning.

The food was really delightful and the staff lovely. But I was completely freezing, not only was the restaurant very chilly but in the ladies I could see my breath - the air was so freezing cold. It spoiled an otherwise good experience.

We had an early reservation and were the first. It was a little chilly at first but the waitress was very friendly and helpful and turned off the music when requested. Service was brilliant not rushed. Food super. Definitely recommend and will come again.

Love having a very good local French restaurant in the area...The crab salad and tartiflette were excellent...Crepes can be a perfect third course/dessert...

Really excellent food lovely service and good atmosphere made it a memorable meal

Had a lovely meal nice ambience. Waitress very friendly and professional

Chez Lucie is a wonderful local amenity for the Gipsy Hill area. They offer a classic French bistro menu, fairly priced, in a charming dining room. Some nice wines too. The moules et frits is particularly good.

Just delightful restaurant, highly recommend, food is lovely as is service

Overall we had a lovely time, starters and dessert were very tasty but the confit was a disappointment. It needed a fruity sauce accompaniment and the potatoes were not pommes sarladaise, more like a roast dinner than French style. The atmosphere and service was good and very reasonably priced.

Great food, amazing service, new specials every time we go!

My husband and I had 3 courses and the food was delicious, although my skate was on the smaller side of my expectations/experience, but we both look forward to returning. The pride point was good and the waitress was very attentive and looked after us well. Highly recommended.

Great authentic French food ! Perfect end to our day.

We had a lovely meal...wonderful nostalgic French bistro fare done perfectly in a setting that really reflected the spirit of the menu. Very friendly and efficient service.

Lovely food, good wine, great service. Will definitely be going to back

The waitress was excellent and the food was OK but, having just come back from France, we were disappointed, especially because the duck was overcooked. The tuna, goats cheese salad and rillettes were good.

Nice leaving dinner for a friend. Food good as usual - loved the gésier salad and the crepes suzettes as always. One comment - we have now had a number of bottles from the wine list - I think it could do with refreshing - wasn’t terribly impressed with the Bergerac we had last night

An excellent very French menu. Good good-sized portions and is very tasty.

Food was amazing and great atmosphere for a Wednesday night

Superb in every respect. We could not have had a better meal in a bistro in Paris. Save yourself the Eurostar fare and pop down to Gipsy Hill

it was our first visit.The food was good and we could not understand why we were the only diners for most of the time we wereeating

Amazing food and lovely friendly service - so glad we’ve found them as we will be back!

Visit for the first time, nice surroundings like the many prints. Staff were really welcoming and efficient. Food was amazing, really delicious. We were really happy with everything about our visit and woiuld recommend Chez Lucie.

Lovely meal with our pensioner neighbours who are very fussy about their food and wine. Excellent service with all Special requests taken on board and food was excellent.

Enjoyed our moules frites. Cosy welcoming restaurant. I would recommend.

Such a wonderful, relaxing time - great food, great wine, great atmosphere, and great staff.
