Ploussard
This 34-seat Parisian-style bistro in Battersea buzzes with the energy of a locals' favorite while serving some of London's most creative French small plates. The weekly-changing menu features famous savory eclairs and lamb anchovy crumpets that have achieved cult status, alongside rainbow trout with brown shrimp and raw beef on toast. Dark wood booths and counter seating create intimate spaces within the chic yet relaxed setting, while trailing plants and warm lighting add romance to the coffee-colored walls. The natural wine list is curated by staff who actually know their craft, offering recommendations that enhance rather than intimidate. Small plates range £4.50-£27, with most couples spending £40-50 for five plates plus dessert and wine - considered exceptional value for this quality in London.
