Cafe parisien in New Forest

This is my favourite cafe in the village. The menu is good but flexible and the service is friendly. It has a small but nice outside seating area including a covered section. The quality of the food is consistently high and the salads are always fresh.

Sharing my favourite Art Cafe! - run by a friendly, helpful and caring family - with great value and tasty freshly cooked food and delicious coffee -this is our regular brunch spot! With rapid service including veggie and vegan options, and are cycle and dog friendly with a sweet courtyard garden at the back - a characterful independent cafe with local art to enjoy your latte with friendly company! On the edge of Lyndhurst you can walk out into open forest within five minutes- what more could you ask for in the centre of the New Forest?!

What a fantastic find! So pleased to have found this place - the service is excellent, and the food is all freshly prepared to order, and what’s more, it’s delivered quickly and in generous proportions. The husband & wife team that run this place are friendly & kind, and you can see how much they care. When I eat out, I always hope to get as good as or better than I could make myself… this place has never disappointed once.

Looking for a decent breakfast in Lyndhurst, we walked past the more 'up market' looking places that had queues and decided on this one which had tables available. Well worth seeking out, this family run cafe was fine with great service , clean and friendly too.

Friendly welcome, friendly service and very important......dog friendly. I had a Nutella Latte, which despite the Nutella was not sickly sweet and would definitely recommend. Both had same baguette, prawn with spicy avocado, a nice extra touch was the baguette was slightly warm, a trick missed by most English cafes. The salad garnish was fresh and crisp, it complimented the baguette as opposed to just being used as a plate filler. Cost....great value for money.

Called in for breakfast. Cafe was very quiet at 0930. Full English was good, washed down with cups of tea. Decor is so so and toilet was basic.

My wife and found this little gem among the other, much more expensive, cafes in Lyndhurst. We only required breakfast, and were well impressed with the helpfulness of the staff, the quality of the for and the speed of service. We liked it so much, we went back the following day for breakfast too. We'll certainly seek it out if in Lyndhurst again.

This place is a bit of a diamond - the service was polite and helpful, the food portions were really good and the food was tasty. Should be much higher on the list

Nice cafe in Lyndhurst, good menu with lots of choice. Little courtyard area at the rear. Friendly family business with good service. We come here quite regularly as we live in Lyndhurst, & as the cafe is towards the Bolton’s Bench end of the village it can sometimes be a bit less busy & so we’re more likely to be able to get a table.

Good food,well prepared by friendly staff. Pleasant surroundings including a sunny garden area. We shall certainly return

Excellent coffee, with hot soya milk to make a lovely Flat White. and baguette made to my spec.service was very good.

Nice cafe, very good service, food okay, can take digs in the back garden, ice cream lovely and good coffee.

Always good food,reasonably priced and very friendly. The cafe always has customers which says alot about the good food they provide to the customers! A must visit when in the village.

We love this cafe in Lyndhurst. My husband and son usually have the late breakfast and I always have the prawn salad. So many prawns and such fresh 'real' salad - not just 'leaves' - tomatoes, cu, crispy lettuce and onion. Delicious.

The food here is fresh and delicious. The menu is extensive and nothing is too much trouble. Lovely little garden when the weather is nice and there is always a warm welcome. Well worth the walk to the end of the High Street!

I visited this lovely cafe with a friend of mine whilst on a short break to the New Forest . We both had a baguette and a mug of tea..My baguette was a prawn one and there were so many prawns done with lettuce onion and tomatoes and a lovely rose marie sauce . A side salad and coleslaw ..and the mug of tea was lovely and refreshing..all for a reasonable price of just over £6.00.My friend had a brie and grape baguette and there were lots of grapes and plenty of brie... Fabulous. Really nice setting and one can sit in the sun outside and smoke if you so wish or just sit in the sun and eat. There is also room inside and it's a charming place. The service is lovely too.. very nice people . Thoroughly enjoyed my hour with my friend chatting about our 3 days camping enjoying the nice lightbread baguette and the ambiance of the cafe . Would reccomend anyone going to lyndhurst pop on and try it .

We come here a lot as we often walk our dogs in the Lyndhurst area and it never disappoints. The garden is dog friendly and has a small covered area ideal in wet or cold weather. The food is always fantastic - there’s a great choice on the menu - and the owners are lovely friendly people for whom nothing is too much trouble.

The other day me and my friends came to Lyndhurst for a day out and decided to try out a new cafe, as we have already tried a majority of the others. This has to be one of the best restaurants/cafes in Lyndhurst. Absolutely incredible, friendly and hospitable staff and lovely food. I recommend the spicy avocado and bacon panini, as it was delicious. The atmosphere is very welcoming and cleanly. The coffee is also the best in Lyndhurst, there is no point visiting another cafe when one as fantastic and reasonably priced one as this exists. 1000% recommend!!

Excellent English breakfast....We've had other meals and they're all excellent...Highly recommended. Wonderful friendly staff and very good coffee.

This cafe is a bit different from many and is run by french people. We stopped for lunch and had an excellent meal and good coffee that was good value for money. Most of the food is English but they do some French specials The service was excellent.

Always a pleasure having morning coffee here: very friendly owners, nice coffee, good cookies and pastries. The bacon baguettes with side salad are also excellent for lunch.

Simple, tasty food, often with a French twist, at reasonable prices. Very nice cafe near to shops, etc

Dopo aver girovagato per questo bellissimo angolo di paradiso, pieno di boschi e animali liberi, abbiamo concluso in bellezza la giornata con un buonissimo caffè. Il gestore è veramente gentile, il locale dispone anche di un piccolo giardino posteriore dove gustarsi il caffè all'aperto.

ive now eaten in every café in Lyndhurst for breakfast and this is the best ive found the staff are all very good as is the chef also very good it takes a lot to please me I'm in the top 3% on trip advisor if I say its good then it is alan and sally from portsmouth

Normally we look for busy cafes etc, but passed this café on the way back to the car and so glad we went in. The food was incredibly good. Had Cheese omelette with jacket Potato and lots of salad for under £6. Great value. The Bacon baguette was so big that my wife took half of it away and had later. Staff were also very friendly and the service was incredibly quick.

nice french style cafe on high street, served by owner and the flat white coffee was wonderful, nice atmosphere good food

Encontré esta joyita mientras una semana de vacaciones con amigos así que de haberlo hecho, volvimos dos veces! La comida era buena y a un precio razonable, el servicio era muy bueno los propietarios muy amable y nada era demasiado problema. Sin duda lo recomendaría y volver cuando esté en la zona

Meals are lovely , excellent customer service, relaxed atmosphere, clean and tidy, prompt service , nothing is too much for the staff

Metimos en aquí una comida ligera de comer - no era original pero muy contentos primera opción nos fuimos.

my 1st choice for coffee and cake in Lyndhurst, also lunches are excellent value. There is a small garden at the back where dogs are welcome.

A great café with a good local clientele as well as catering for the drop in customer. It offers a wide selection of pastries and a good choice of quality tea and coffee. The filled baguettes are a meal in themselves or you can go for the full English. Other meals are also available. Plenty of time to relax without being hurried.

Delicious coffee and vegetarian breakfast. Nice full English breakfast. Yummy chocolate milkshake and omelette for 4 year old.

we come here every year when we visit new forest and always get a warm welcome as well as a lovely fresh breakfast with excellent service! Nice clean and classic french style cafe but with fab english breakfasts on clean plates and beautifully presented, we will continue to come here, and very highly recommend this lovely little cafe to everyone, best milkshakes too!

My first visit to this cafe, recommended by one of our group. I would describe this place as a hidden gem, would be easy to overlook as at the end of the High St and you pass lots of other eateries to get to it. It doesn't really stand out either but once inside its quite welcoming. We sat outside in the small courtyard garden at rear which could do with a bit of attention, a few broken rattan chairs and a few plants that were past there best didn't do it any favours. More plants in tubs would brighten it up and new chairs and some pretty plastic tablecloths would really improve it. Two of us had Croque Monsieur which was served with a very generous salad and it was really very good, good value at £4.95 , the other had a vegetarian baguette with feta and roasted veg and lots of salad, looked delicious and wholesome, same price. We had soft drinks and coffee and hot chocolate to finish and all felt very satisfied. The service was good and staff were very pleasant, I will certainly pay this place another visit when in Lyndhurst and would happily recommend

Excellent food and great value. Dogs can sit in the courtyard out the back. Couple of tables under awning if it's raining. Food was tasty and fresh. Good coffee. Good value for Lyndhurst where cafes can seem a bit expensive. Staff were friendly.

Had a very nice Hot cup of coffee & a home made Ginger & Walnut Cookie. Very reasonably priced. Comfortable seating area with a choice to look out at the passing trade.On a busy road but that made it all the more interesting..

A pleasure to have eaten here food fabulous nothing was a problem great service highly recommend.kids meals cheap and plentiful adult meals more than adequate

I have been to this Cafe a number of times and it is very small and independent. The menu has everything to offer from chicken to fish finger baguettes. Very quick service.Outside seating to the back which is nice on a sunny day. You can't go wrong by trying.

Made a pit stop in Lyndhurst to look for breakfast, there certainly is no shortage of café's, tea rooms and restaurants in Lyndhurst. This was one of the busiest, normally a good indication. We had a fantastic Big Breakfast that came with an excellent super strong coffee. Good portion size, not too greasy and cooked to order. Friendly staff and very reasonably priced £7.95 for a big breakfast and coffee.

May not the fine dining of Paris but a treat for any visitor in the area the menu is varied and the staff pleasant and friendly. The food is served Ed with a personal touch and always with a smile.

My mum and I have dined in this cafe, twice (December and January) and found it friendly and welcoming with a varied and interesting choice of menu.On both occasions, we chose the mini-breakfast with a cup of tea. This consisted of bacon, sausage, egg, slice of toast and pot of jam (and tea of coffee.) It was cooked beautifully, no oil or grease in sight! And priced at only £4.80, which is amazing value for money - a rare thing these days!The owner is friendly and delivers your food promptly and always with a smile! His establishment is spotlessly clean and the menu offers something for everyone and judging by the other dishes coming out, I would gladly come again and order something else off the menu - as it all looks delicious! He caters for everyone, as there is an impressive vegetarian choice and every dish is cooked from scratch - none of that awful boxed meals that are placed in the microwave! There are books and magazines placed on a table at the back to browse through and also books for children. There is also a delightful sun terrace at the back of the cafe and a toilet which is always very clean and well attended to.I thoroughly recommend the Cafe Parisien and aim to come back again soon!

we were out for a walk and popped in for a coffee and a light lunch. I had fish finger sandwich and my partner had brie and bacon baguette. Both very nice!The staff are friendly, helpful and gave quick service. We will be returning when next in the town.

Great place for a latte where you can actually taste coffee, rather than the muck you get at the chains. Although we are not vegetarian the veggie breakfast is always good. Very friendly, and ideal place to stop after a good forest walk. Service is always excellent.

We stopped here to replace calories lost during a hike. I had sausage, egg, beans and chips whilst my wife had the grilled chicken salad. Both were very tasty and reasonably priced and the coffee was good and strong. Service was good and the toilets were clean. Would return if in the area.

We were in Lyndhurst for the weekend and were looking for somewhere to have lunch. We spotted a nice little cafe in the High Street and decided to eat there.The service was friendly, the food good and reasonably priced.

I always enjoy my visit. they have a very reasonably priced menu and good choice of nicely home cooked food. Have never had a bad meal here. They have a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Great food & great coffee.

Stopped here for a cuppa and a cake, when we went in the café was deserted, we sat down at old fashioned French tables, which I know look the part in France, but not quite right here. Staff were friendly, there were biscuits in glass jars on the counter and was asked what they were, but the man behind the counted didn't know and then said he was covering for the owner, so we skipped the biscuits, and just had tea and café, both of which were absolutely spot on, lavazza coffee and decaf tea.

We make a point of having our breakfast here whenever we are in the area. Food is great and very reasonably priced. You can bring you dog into the partially covered courtyard too.

Cafe Parisien is a regular of mine on a Saturday morning. My father & I stop here usually for coffee & tea cake on our forest walks. Always receive a warm welcome from staff, prompt service and good hot food. A popular place, several tables always taken, but additional seating outside. Dog & cyclist friendly too

Locally this is the place to drink coffee, read your paper and chat... and it is fantastic coffee !!

We had breakfast here recently. It was pretty good and only let down by the sausage which was cheap and deep fried. The price was reasonable at £6.20 including coffee. The cafe was clean and welcoming. Everything was nicely cooked and tasty except that sausage.

I am so happy to have found this little place. The staff are always so friendly and happy (even when we have kids in tow!) Very reasonably priced food too and a sunny little outside area. It's so great to find a New Forest establishment where staff know the value of a smile :)

We love this little cafe, the breakfasts are always our favorite to order here, very clean, nicely presented and the baguettes are freshly baked and yummy! It is a little small inside but that just adds to the charm and the decor is very art orientated, we even bought one of the paintings as we loved it so much!

We always get our breakfast baguettes from here for work as they are the best in the village; crispy bacon, tasty sausage and runny yolks!!

Enjoyed a perfect cup of tea, delicious breakfast and very friendly service. Will definitely be back to try more.

Very nice little cafe, good prices compared to other High Street eateries and Croque Madame to die for. Merci.

We had breakfast here and the range of items was pretty good. The food was excellent value and service was OK. The menu has more English items on it than French, so if French food is not your thing don't be put off. Whilst we only had breakfast here, there appeared to be a very good range of lunchtime baguettes sandwiches and animi's at exceptional prices but having not tried them I cannot comment on the quality. The location of this café is excellent and if you want a quick breakfast and exceptional value you could do far worse.

We ordered off the menu and they were very happy to oblige. Lovely breakfast, gorgeous coffee and very helpful staff. The restaurant was well situated and had a lovely patio area out the back.

We popped In for lunch with our 3 year old twins and two older kids, it was very plea sent we sat in the patio garden at the back in the sun.The coffee was really nice and the food was lovely very friendly staff and reasonably priced

There are a plethora of cafes in this small village. Plenty to choose from and so I walked in to the Parisian. The menu is typical. Service was extremely polite and very attentive - well done! Coffee was nice and good value. Food was simple, filling, but nothing overly special. But they get 10 out of 10 for service which one can rarely say these days.
