The spirit of French ‘bistronomy’ is the guiding light at this excellently run restaurant. With a buzzing atmosphere that suits its Peckham Rye neighbourhood, it’s a simply decorated spot serving dishes that are hearty, wholesome and burst with natural flavours. Alongside the produce-driven cooking, music and wine are key to the appeal. The restaurant is named after DJ Larry Levan and a great soundtrack plays through the speakers, while the wine list is particularly keen on producers from the Jura. A similar vibe can be found next-door at the bustling Bar Levan.
