Brasserie Blanc - Southbank

Brasserie Blanc exceeded our expectations. My friend and I have both been a few times but not for ages and largely we book because it’s such a convenient location on Southbank. But tonight the food was delicious! And that was only the pre theatre menu. So good we had 3 courses and ate the most we have done for ages. Please note - they were EXTREMELY accommodating with regard to my gluten and lactose intolerance and my companions’ mushroom allergy. Nothing seemed too much trouble. I was surprised to learn all the ice creams and sorbets were lactose free - so we tried almost all of the flavours. They have an extensive range of gorgeous non alcoholic drinks (I don’t drink) and gorgeous alcoholic cocktails (my friend does), that we also consumed. Glad to see BB is moving with the times as sometimes I can barely find anything interesting to drink with my meal other than water. Our waitress Élysée was a delight. (I hope I have spelt her name right). Truly brilliant customer service from her and other members of staff checked in attentively as well. Setting the bar high BB, well done.

Good attentive service, and well prepared and presented plates. A concise menu that accommodates any food mood at the time, and separate gluten free menus with plenty of choice.
