Camille

Tucked within the vibrant tapestry of Borough Market, Camille offers an intimate escape into the heart of French provincial dining. Conceived by Clare Lattin and Tom Hill, the minds behind Ducksoup and Little Duck, this cozy bistro channels the spirit of a Lyonnaise cave-à-manger. Head chef Elliot Hashtroudi, formerly of St John, crafts a menu that celebrates the rustic charm of regional French cuisine, emphasizing seasonal British produce. The dining space, adorned with walnut accents and vintage wooden stalls, invites guests to savour dishes like crab toast with three-cornered garlic and langoustine cassoulet, all complemented by a carefully curated natural wine list featuring selections from small-scale producers . Critics have lauded Camille's dedication to unpretentious, flavour-forward cooking. The Michelin Guide highlights its straightforward yet satisfying offerings, such as pâté en croûte and whole mackerel with café de Paris butter, served in a rustic setting that exudes warmth . SquareMeal praises the restaurant's offal-forward approach, noting the deeply comforting chicken hearts with aligot and the generously portioned schnitzel in dandelion and garlic butter . With its commitment to seasonal produce, natural wines, and a chef-led kitchen, Camille stands as a Borough Market hotspot, ideal for those seeking a refined yet relaxed dining experience. Open for lunch Tuesday to Sunday and dinner Monday to Saturday, it's a neighbourhood favourite that captures the essence of a seasonal French bistro.
