Gazette Putney is a French brasserie at 147 Upper Richmond Road, close to Putney station. Its relaxed dining room, bar and wine cellar space combine the spirit of a rural French restaurant with an accessible London neighbourhood setting for breakfast, a quick lunch, dinner or drinks.
The kitchen prepares its own terrines, sauces, jams and marmalades, with menus changing regularly to follow the seasons. Onion soup with Emmental, country pâté, charcuterie, snails and fresh starters establish the traditional brasserie character, while carefully sourced produce gives familiar dishes a fresh monthly variation.
Hand cut beef tartare is one of the signatures and is served with fries, alongside mussels in a marinière sauce, bavette, chateaubriand and the Gazette burger. Fish, vegetable main courses and regularly changing chef specials broaden the selection, allowing diners to choose between enduring classics and dishes shaped by current ingredients.
Breakfast and brunch continue into the afternoon with croissants, French bread, eggs and cooked plates. Chocolate fondant, crème brûlée, soufflé and an inverted apple tart show the same commitment to classic desserts, while a cellar of nearly two hundred wines, including the brasserie’s own French wine, completes the experience.
