Best Lunch Restaurants in Forest Hill

I have wanted to eat here for a while and got the chance this week. It was everything I had hoped for and more... Seasonal menu with great choice and the cookery absolutely on point. What's lovely is that there are four courses with choices on each course which works for me better than a tasting menu where the diner doesn't have choice. Everything I had tasted and looked amazing. You can tell its based on classical French roots...the core ingredient is the star and is not 'messed about with'. The associated sauces, garnish, textures all compliment it. Great wine list and a very good range of wines by the glass which works well if you have four courses with the choices supported by knowledgeable but unpretentious sommeliers. Good food is one thing but its the service and ambience that makes a restaurant you want to return to. I definitely will be returning whenever I can. Fantastic food and wine in an elegant but unstuffy environment with knowledgeable, cheerful and perfectly attentive staff. Thank you!

I’ve been going to Le Pont de la Tour for over 20 years. Everything is sublime. The food is delicious, the service is amazing. We had the last seating at lunch today and you would never think anyone was rushing to get ready for dinner service or just tired from a busy lunch. Plus the views…

Staff were friendly and unobtrusive, and the food was fantastic. The carrot starter - who knew the humble carrot could taste so good. The cast iron fillet steak was so tender and full of flavour. On the pricier side, but you get what you pay for, and portion sizes were generous.

After initially being told we had to be off our table within two hours, despite the fact that we were settling in for a long lunch, the maître d managed to move things around and we were able to retain our table, for a fantastic meal and a great afternoon. Many thanks.

We visited with our baby to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Our waiter went above and beyond to give us a memorable experience, and was incredibly accommodating to meet all of our needs. His knowledge of the menu, and recommendations were spot on. The food was delicious, service was impeccable, nothing was too much trouble. Service from entry to leaving was wonderful from every member of staff we encountered.
