Toulouse Lautrec is a French restaurant and live music venue at 140 Newington Butts in Kennington. Set within a characterful former public house, it brings Parisian warmth to South London through a relaxed ground floor restaurant and the intimate Piano Room upstairs, where dinner can be followed by live jazz and other performances.
The menu begins with recognisably French flavours, including snails, steak tartare and goat cheese salad, alongside lighter seasonal choices. Brunch brings its own selection, with dishes such as eggs Benedict providing a leisurely option during the day before the restaurant moves into its evening rhythm.
Traditional cooking remains central to the main courses, with duck confit and carefully grilled steak joined by dishes such as bavette with red wine sauce, salmon with green beans and new potatoes, and a hearty mushroom cassoulet. A concise fixed price selection can be particularly useful for an early dinner or a meal before a performance.
Crème brûlée, dark chocolate fondant, French apple tart, profiteroles and cheese provide suitably rich ways to finish. A carefully selected wine list supports the food, while the Piano Room, regular live music and private event options give Toulouse Lautrec a distinctive identity that extends well beyond an ordinary neighbourhood restaurant.
