Emile's

Some years ago, this local may have qualified as a ‘little gem’, an epithet that its most loyal regulars still cling to. But now that the choice of restaurants in Putney is vastly improved, Emile’s is a dowdy, tired-looking anachronism. Supercilious service, overly rich double-baked cheese souffles, excessively sweet roast duck breast with pineapple & pink peppercorns & simply inedible Szechuan spiced pork fillet with Thai noodles don’t argue in its favour. Choose the simplest dishes, like beef Wellington & roast lamb, for the most success & plunge into the wonderfully inexpensive wine list.
