About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Great for live music
  • Good for special occasions
Bringing a touch of French flair to Kennington, Toulouse Lautrec Restaurant, Piano Bar & Jazz Club is a traditional restaurant set inside a lovingly refurbished English pub. Managed by three brothers, jazz club manager, Nolan & Chef Florent, whose parents have run the neighbouring “Lobster Pot” restaurant since 1991, so there is plenty of authentic French charm on offer served by people who love what they do. Set over three floors, the warm and inviting space is divided into a rustic ground floor restaurant, 1st floor piano bar with jazz solos & duos and 2nd floor Jazz Club, which hosts the bigger bands at weekends.

    Lovely authentic French food and good quality wine. Fillet steak was mouthwateringly tender. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Would have been great if they’d done a pre-theatre menu as The Southwark Playhouse is yards away and the reason we booked there as we were going to see a show. They need to work on their cocktails as we ordered margaritas and an espresso martini and they weren’t that nice. But I’d definitely return if in the area

    The service was horrendous. I arrived for an early (5:45) theatre dinner . I told them I had 1 hour before the play. sat for 20 min before wait staff came over. I ordered soup and scallops. The soup came at 6:40. It was OK, nothing special. I had to leave for theatre at 6:50, never got my scallops and was charged for everything. If you have 2 hours to eat and drink, I'd go somewhere else to do it.

    Food was divine. Waiter was kind, attentive, and pleasant to speak to. Appreciated the discussion on dairy free options- not many options but Cheff made sure I had the appropriate dishes to choose from. Overall, I’d come back again but this time for the live jazz! Thank you.

    Ideal for pre theatre dinner if going to Southwark Playhouse. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Only drawback was that washrooms were upstairs.

    We went before a play at the theatre round the corner . I had the pork collar - very tasty comfort food with mash and jus ! My partner had the duck - quite nice but not quite as nice as the pork ! Good drinks selection. Warm , friendly helpful waiter . Popped upstairs to the toilet and to see the top room where they have jazz etc which looks lovely .
