I took myself here for Sunday lunch recently. I didn’t book ahead of time but I’d suggest you do - this is a very popular little French bistro with good reason; the food is wonderful! I chose the homemade vegetarian loaf - a lentil, red pepper, sagey slice of gorgeousness that came served with delicious French style roast potatoes, a healthy portion of roast parsnips, a Yorkshire pudding, lashings of homemade gravy and a side dish filled with an abundance of carrots, peas, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower cheese. It was almost overwhelming! I watched other diners getting their platefuls of beef and their plates were similarly piled high. Cafe du Chat Noir are serving up a weekly masterclass in what a Sunday roast should be. I left feeling happily defeated (I couldn’t eat everything), replete and didn’t need to eat again until the next day!. I think this is the best Sunday roast I’ve had in a very long time. The cafe was filled with the happy buzz of people (many seemed to be regulars) enjoying delicious food at truly reasonable prices. The atmosphere on the cafe is buzzy and filled with bonhomie- between the staff themselves and staff with customers. I felt welcome, and definitely satiated when I left. I have eaten here previously, typically lunch - quiche and salad, their vegetarian croque and again, good portion sizes and delicious grub! If you plan to go for Sunday lunch I advise you to book ahead of time; I saw a number of people having to be turned away. To top it all off they’re dog friendly ❤️
