Ploussard

Description

Cosy, buzzy and effortlessly cool, Ploussard is a neighbourhood gem tucked just off Battersea Rise, bringing Parisian bistro energy to south London with a modern edge. Named after the French grape variety, the space sets the scene with an open kitchen, warm wooden tones and a lively, come‑as‑you‑are atmosphere that makes it just as appealing for a midweek catch‑up as it is for a polished date night. It’s the sort of place where one drink turns into three and dinner plans happily stretch on.

The kitchen is headed by chef Matt Harris, best known as one half of the duo behind cult fried chicken outfit Other Side Fried, alongside co‑founder Tommy Kempton. Here, the focus shifts to modern European cooking with a strong French lean, built around seasonal, weekly‑changing plates designed for sharing. Expect bold flavours delivered with confidence: think standout dishes like lamb and anchovy crumpet or perfectly cooked fish finished with rich, punchy sauces, all balanced by a thoughtful list of low‑intervention wines.

Ploussard has quickly earned its stripes, featuring in the MICHELIN Guide and picking up a SquareMeal Bronze Award, cementing its reputation as one of the area’s most exciting dining spots. With its relaxed charm, top‑notch cooking and a genuinely welcoming feel, it’s a brilliant example of how neighbourhood restaurants should be done - understated, flavour‑led and seriously good fun.
