Are you ready to Parlez?

New restaurant Parlez plans to open at 16 Coulgate Street in May 2017. The team are now ready to share some early details. They write:

"Parlez came to life from a belief in the local. Home-cooked food enjoyed with good friends. A place where you don’t need deep pockets to treat yourself. Born from the idea that conversation is one of life’s greatest pastimes.

"You can expect seasonal ingredients and a well-sourced drinks menu. Our menu is seasonal, affordable, and inclusive. From vegans to meat lovers to Jay Reyner, everyone’s invited.

"We always try to think local and consider the availability of produce. Fresh ingredients are at the heart of the parlez kitchen. With daily stock coming from suppliers, everyone will have peace of mind knowing our food is fresh while being assured of quality.

"The team will be given a regular tasting session to ask questions about ingredients and a complimentary wine list. Parlez is Brockley’s new neighbourhood restaurant with a full pub license. Founders Matt and Louis have spent the last year looking at how to bring parlez to life in a way that celebrates food, music, and culture.

"Another focus is on the music, with curated playlists to complement the service. This will sit alongside handpicked art from people like Keith Haring to the established young British photographer Vicky Grout. Our hope is that this comes together to reflect the spirit of Brockley."

Their indicative dinner menu includes dishes like 'slow cooked pork belly & saffron potatoes' and 'poached fish of the day w/peas & broad beans', while for lunch they plan lighter options like 'open pastrami sourdough sandwich w/pickles & mustard' and 'heritage tomato,artichoke & red onion salad.'
