  Lovely French inspired restaurant, casual dining but high quality wonderfully executed food. Always very hard to choose what to eat as everything I’ve tried is delicious. Wine menu is extensive and very carefully selected to compliment taste and price.

  Wonderful Intertior. Best kept for drinks and nibbles We ordered wonderful wine, steak tartar and the t-bone. I know it’s silly to order a steak unless you’re at a steak house you love as it doesn’t give the chef much room for expression in anyway other than quality. But weren’t many other proper feeds though many light bites.

  A French eatery and winery, owned by Borough Wines who now have a few other locations dotted around, the understated L’Entrepot is a firm favourite amongst locals. Forget the fancy frippery and penguin waiters, the decor here is admittedly not much to look at but the waitresses are friendly Dalstonites.We went on a Friday after work. They managed to fit us in if we left in an hour and a half as our table was booked. Our slot came and went, we weren’t turfed off – in fact we reluctantly left when they were starting to shut up shop. We were given seats either side of one of those long tables that you sometimes sigh inwardly at, knowing that you’ll be all elbows and eavesdropping – but in fact, it wasn’t like that at all. Neighbours came and went without being intrusive and it allowed us the opportunity to ogle their choices from the menu.There’s around 25 or so wines on the menu which apparently changes daily – no surprises here from such a well-respected winery. Bottles were reasonably cheap too but we decided to start with a carafe of one of the house reds, and we were still going strong another two carafes later. Food is comfortingly simple here and much of what you’d expect from a place named L’Entrepot – we opted for the sharing board of charcuterie, warm bread and balsamic oil with raw parsnip slaw (a must). Then there came the slow braised lamb shoulder with barley wheat for C, and I had a divine portion of steak tartare with anchovy toast that was quite possibly the best I’ve ever had.The simplicity is key here, and that’s why it’s doing so well. Spend even half an hour in here and you’ll be hard-pressed to imagine you’re doors down from a train station and just round the corner from chicken shops. Elle magazine nominated it one of their favourite wine bars, and apparently their brunch is bloody good too. So while dreams of French beaches in an endless summer aren’t quite reality just yet, an evening in a French bistro like this is more than enough to whet your appetite. thenotsosecretdiary.com

  We went for brunch at L’Entrepot as I’d heard very good things about it. Instead, we had coffee and eggs. I had the gypsy eggs and Alison had avocado, fried egg and tomato bread (she had something similar at Hackney Bureau). But who can resist beautiful guac?I dont know much about gypsies, but they make some damn fine eggs. Eggs are baked in a rich tomato sauce and this is studded with chorizo and new potatoes and topped with a herby crme fraiche. You get a large slice of sourdough to scoop with, and I would highly recommend taking along an avocado-loving friend so that they order the other dish we had, and share their avocado with you.The eggs were cooked perfectly for me a little ooze but not too runny and the whole thing was just a perfect combination to set you up for the day.Alisons egg on toast was great, if a little basic compared to mine. And the coffees we enjoyed were smooth and rich. The place was light and airy, you felt like you could relax and take your time – come for brunch and stay through the roast.
