Chez Elles in Tower Hamlets

Been meaning to visit for some time and really glad that we did. Well located on Brick Lane. Food was great. The French onion soup and 3 cheese plate were so good. As were the mussels and beef onglet steak. We also had the Tarte Tartin & port for desert. Alongside the great food, the service was really good 😊 Given we regularly visit this part of London, we look forward to returning.

Fabulous atmosphere, service and food. We had a lovely evening here and was great to talk French to the staff. Felt v authentic!

Visited Chez Elles for dinner with friends. The Bistroquet is small and cosy and the décor is a rather generic French Bistro style with the usual red checked curtains and rustic design. The menu provides a variety of French cuisine many of which are staples such as The Frogs Legs, Duck Rillette, Onion Soup, Snails, Steak Tartare and Cheese Souffle as starters and Duck Leg Confit and Beef Onglet as mains. We enjoyed the Duck Rillette however we were rather disappointed with the Onion Soup and the Poisson Soup which were both rather bland and not very tasty and unfortunately we had to send back the Cheese Souffle( x3) which was uneatable due the large amount of salt. We did speak to the staff about the liberal amount of salt in more than one of our dishes and they promised to pass on our comments to the kitchen They did remove the Cheese Souffle from our bill. We decided not to stay for dessert. The meal as a whole was rather disappointing however the waiting staff did their best.

super cute little restaurant! a really nice + cozy vibe :) had a great evening here, our waitress was lovely!

We came for a lunch and I was really positively surprised by the quality of the food being a French myself. We ordered the beef / fries and trout. They were both very tasty. The fries crusty outside and soft inside, the trout was very tasty with the tomatoes / truffle sauce. All was delicious. I really recommend. It is a bit on the pricey side with dishes above 20 pounds. But it was worth it. The staff is nice and decoration cosy.

Fabulous bistro and nice food. Would highly recommend the duck leg, snails, chicken liver, and the lamb though it would be better if the lamb is less salty. And the frog leg is bit small. Anyways people here are friendly🥰

Local go to for Steak and Fries with a delicious mustardy side salad. Best steak frites I’ve had in London, arrives quick, no fuss, good selection of easy wines too.

Had dinner at this French bistro on brick lane. The place itself is very quaint and the waiters were friendly enough. I was slightly disappointed with the food though, the beef onglet was a bit plain and the fries very oily. I really didn't like the creme brûlée, it was very cold you could tell it was taken out of the fridge seconds before it being served. Overall it was an alright experience but I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place. You can find great French food elsewhere for a similar price!

This is a fabulous French restaurant in Whitechapel. The service is excellent and the restaurant staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was great too: I had snail as a starter, lamb for the main entree and a small dessert. All were very well made but I will pick the lamb and the snail item as standout dishes. Will surely visit this place again in future!

lovely little paris restaurant at brick lane in London. loved the steak tartar, cheese aouffle with truffles, and the creme brulle 🤩

A new favourite in London. Superb french Classics. I was enamoured with the interior.

Fantastic hidden gem - had the french onion soup, escargot, confit duck leg, and creme brûlée!

So glad we found this place. We made a large booking for my partner’s birthday, including two small kids. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was great and the food far exceeded our expectations based on the price. All of us were massively impressed with the quality of all the dishes - really wonderful French cuisine (including the cuisses de grenouilles!). Will definitely be going back and would absolutely recommend. An absolute gem!

Delicious food and wonderful dessert! Will be back :)

Mussels and fries, steak tartar, French onion soup, any of the starters, the bread, wine list is curated so you can’t go wrong low end or high, and the staff!! Excellent and so welcoming. Don’t miss their desserts!! ❤️❤️❤️

In a charming corner of the city, this restaurant offers an extraordinary culinary experience for vegans and non-vegans. The Onion Soup,Parmentier d'Aubergine, expertly seasoned and garnished with fresh herbs. The flavours and textures harmonize beautifully. The Lemon Sorbet, a tangy and sweet palate cleanser, bursts with vibrant citrus goodness. Both dishes are artistically presented, enhancing the dining experience. The restaurant's dedication to vegan cuisine is commendable, a delicious vegan options. The ambiance is inviting, and the staff is attentive and knowledgeable. From exceptional flavors to impeccable service, this restaurant is a must-visit for vegan and non-vegan food enthusiasts.

I asked if the olives were vegan and the French woman said yes but they left a strong taste of fish in my mouth for while after, seems like they were in some kind of fish brine. I know a lot of French think ‘fish’ isn’t meat or that vegans can eat it but in the UK, vegans (or vegetarians!) don’t eat fish. We call that pescatarian. Also very expensive. Thanks

Chez Elles is an excellent choice for a French evening properly done in all respects: genuine regional food, a good wine selection, real atmosphere, and prompt and efficient service. The marinaded shrimps and the singlet steak were both delicious.

What an amazing place with great service and tasty food. A real piece of France in the heart of Brick Lane.

Such a great place! Loved the vibe and the food was amazing. Will definitively come back again 😁

Little gem found on Brick Lane, great vibe with amazing food and great cocktails. All the French classics perfectly executed!

Amazing food and the boss are very friendly The menu is really nice and the taste is absolutely gorgeous really like also the cocktail menu

Chez elles is a gem! The ambiance is charming and authentically French, the food is exquisite, and the service is impeccable. The escargots, confit duck and crème brûlée were all highlights. A must-visit for an authentic French dining experience!

Delicious main, dessert I strongly think it is not made in the restaurant but rather bougjt and respld. Great coffee as well 13.5% service fee is too high for the place though.

Bloody fantastic. Every option I looked at I wanted, will be back to sample what I missed out on.

The food was delicious and the service was 5*! Absolutely love the restaurants aesthetic and overall vibe, very homely :). I been a few times and it never disappoints!

Four friends went for a celebratory dinner midweek. The place was comfortable and unpretentious, and the food and service were very good. It was a great place for the occasion and in an unexpected location!

Four old friends went to this restaurant mid-week for a celebratory dinner. We had different things - French onion soup, chicken souffle, frogs' legs, duck confit - plus wine. The service was low key but very good, the decor comfortable and unpretentios and the food was excellent. They were even able to cater for a friend who is coeliac including dessert. Overall a really good place for the occasion!

A short menu of simple classic French dishes cooked very well, a short list of decent French wines, efficient unobtrusive service and a relaxed cosy ambience. So much better than apparently similar places in the West End.

This is one of the cutest French bistros I’ve been going to for many years. Not one has food disappointed me there. You can enjoy staple french dishes. I enjoyed a double backed cheese soufflé with truffles, the aubergine Parmentier, and the basque cheesecake for dessert. All absolutely scrumptious. I would also suggest trying their pistachio cream brûlée.

Fantastic, authentic slice of France! Gorgeous food and lovely service. We'll be back!

Super nice little bistro. Everything you want at the end of the day. I had the sweetbreads as a starter, perfectly breaded with a gribiche sauce but so well executed, including a little tarragon tip! The duck confit was a treat, with its gratin dauphinois, all levels of which were lightly salted and peppered as required. To finish, a little vanilla ice cream and chestnut cream. Wonderful. Wines to enjoy too. The only small complaint: the cheese plate was not as good as the end of the meal deserved. Too bad, but one thing that shouldn't stop you from coming.

Had the worst diarrhoea of my life after eating their escargot (snails). I’m just glad I was close to home by the time the pain kicked in, and now that I’ve read some of the reviews it looks like I’m not the only one. Wish I didn’t go honestly.

Loved it. Had the snails followed by duck and steak tartare. Service was lovely, ambience was great. Hope to come back soon!

Great food with lovely relaxed atmosphere

This place is a small gem in East London. The ambiance and deco is amazing and it’s a very romantic spot. The food was great and super authentic ( being french). The service is very attentive and friendly. All in all definitely recommend for a date night!! Personal rating : 8.9/10

Small but intimate gem. Food ordered were: Starters - Cheese souffle - hit! - Frog legs - hit! Mains - steak onglet with fries and a vinaigrette salad - hit! - special of the day was ox cheek with mash potatoes - hit! Dessert - Crème brulee - hit! - Apple tatin - hit! Service was excellent and not over the top. Will definitely be back.

Really good restaurant, cosy, good friendly service. Lots of French staff waitoring. I had the steak, was extremely good. Highly recommend.

Poor quality cooking, dry duck, much oversalted gratin...

Gorgeous little restaurant. Food was lovely and the atmosphere was lovely. Would definitely go back

Enjoyed an excellent meal with 3 others. Not a huge menu but everything ordered was absolutely delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

Good but pricey, overall. The cheese souffle is excellent, as is the onion soup; the rest is merely the kind of competent standard you'd expect at any bistro in France. Maybe it's felt that that plain competence justifies these prices? 23 for steak tartare and frites! 25 for duck confit! Felt very punchy. And 14 for a kir royale is extraordinary. Pleasant enough atmosphere though. Service was - that word again - competent. Not sure I'd go back.

I like the vibe there, service is nice as well. Lovely French music in the background 😊 very vibey 😊

great place for a date. candle lit dinner sort of vibes

The food, service, wine, and atmosphere were all good, but the exuberant prices ruined the experience. Over £10 for 6 snails and £25 for a leg of duck with mash taytos! Samwise Gamgee was beside himself.

A very good address to find good French dishes that we sometimes miss

Nice cute authentique French Brasserie

Best service, best people, best food.

Good food and great service. What's not to like? 😊

Cozy and pleasant French place, we enjoyed very much the table under the flowers! Great food! Ideal for a romantic dinner !

Really great place for a nice dinner as a couple or small group. Food was incredible and service was good.

Small French restaurant with great food and service. The cheese souffle was delightful. The wine wasn't expensive but it wasn't great either.

Has to be one of my favourite restaurants in London. Atmosphere great, food amazing. We always do family style here as it’s all good. Recommend the snails, beef tartare, duck, steak. Fries are amazing, as is the wine and cocktails.

Went for my GF birthday. Amazing food, good service, but only thing quite pricy wine and not the best. Overall great little spot for date nights!

Cute little restaurant serving French classics. Good wine too.

Nice French eatery in Brick Lane.

Amazing food, great stuff, what more can I ask for. Literally one of my favorite restaurant in London

This is my favorite restaurant in London. Amazing and very tasty food (which is not always easy to find in London) ! Rillettes de canards, soufflé au Comté, confit de canard and creme brûlée are a must. Went there again for my birthday and we had the most lovely serveur! Atmosphere is very French eclectic and cool. Definitely recommend !

Amazing place, the menu is short but the food, service and ambience is fantastic. Can not recommend it highly enough.

Great food, lovely service and atmosphere. It feels like home :)

Nice french bistro on Brick Lane. Good food, good wine at a nice price.

Truly excellent bistro. Simple, elegant French food, done to perfection. Not the first time I've visited, and certainly not the last. They don't update their menu very often, but it's all good. The French Onion Soup is like a hug in a bowl.

An address not to be missed if you come to London! Great service, the waiter (Breton 😉) and the manager are really adorable and helpful! As for the menu, it was excellent, we went there twice in quick succession because we were so delighted! You can go there with your eyes closed! As soon as I come back to London I will definitely go back! See you soon!!

A hidden gem, ill be back soon for more!!!

Nous avons dîné en amoureux dans ce charmant petit restaurant à la déco soignée, la musique nous plonge dans la France old school. Dans l assiette c'est bon, l accueil est très sympa, les tarifs sont cohérents pour Londres. Je recommande

The fooooood is sooo good. So many flavors complimenting one another. The ambience very warm and cosy and the staff is nice, welcoming and super cute.

Very cozy French restaurant on legendary brick lane. I believe run by two French ladies. It’s best do a reservation. The entire place has a very mainland European vibe. Music and food were amazing. It’s set in a very trendy area, right behind Spittalfield market as well as right below Shoreditch. So plenty of places for a drink afterwards. I’ll definitely be back.

Not sure where these great reviews are coming from, this place is mediocre at best. The snails themselves were nicely cooked but the parsley sauce was very bitter, probably due to burned garlic. My steak onglet was overcooked and tasted more like liver, my partners moules mariner were overcooked as well (come on.. how can you fail on the easiest dish), the fries and tarte tatin were nice, the sugar crust on the creme brulé was not properly caramelised/scorched so it was way too sweet, overall it was a huge disappointment and most of the food was amateurish considering the price and reviews

Very nice! Really good Frenc Restaurant, simple menu but amazing food. And also service and atmosphere were great!

Really lovely little French restaurant in the heart of Brick Lane. Very impressed with the food and great service. Highly recommend. Order the truffle cheese souffle thank me later!

Amazing food and wine. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service . Thoroughly recommend

We had a great dinner in a beautiful and cozy atmosphere. It is a sweet restaurant and Angelique definitely made a real difference! Her smile, kindness, professionalism and attention to detail is a genuine asset to the place! Thank you so much everyone for making our evening so special! Merci encore Angélique et vive la France 🎉❤️

It’s nice to have a French restaurant in our neighbourhood that serves very good authentic dishes v

Super cute for a date, great food and atmosphere.

It is an amazing place to be with the couple or small group of friends. The food was absolutely delicious with wine. The music is also really good. I will definitely be back again and again

What a gem of a restaurant this is! The authentic French food is out of this world, the French onion soup is the best I’ve ever had by far. The restaurant itself has a beautiful ambience and is very romantic and makes the perfect date night! I visited with my boyfriend and my mum though and it was a lovely setting regardless. The staff were lovely and Lili the owner especially was very welcoming! Thanks, very much looking forward to returning!

What a pleasure to find a little corner of our beloved French cuisine in the small streets of London! Very good meal! Delicious food!!

French vintage, cool, atmosphere restaurant. The dishes have nothing to envy to a high level restaurant, we tasted practically the whole menu and tasty excellent French wine. In the dishes you can see the chef's passion and the study of the products for a fusion style. Well done guys!

Lovely authentic French food. They have the best tarte tatin I've ever had and a cozy ambiance.

I never miss going to CHEZ ELLES BISTROQUET every time I go to Brick Lane. I adore ! So good, great atmosphere, top service, inevitably added to your London to-do list!

A little corner of France in Brick Lane, vintage and top-notch staff! Thank you for this moment 🤗

It was okay… the ambience wasn’t as warm and fun as it is depicted on IG. The food is average.

Awesome! Top waitresses and very good value for money as well as the wine selection, I recommend 100% perhaps one of the most authentic French bistros in London!

Seriously the best French restaurant I have been in a long long time. The tartare is incredible (and I am fussy as hell!) and… I felt just like in a bistro at home.

I always leave chez elle with a smile on my face, the food and wine selection are brilliant.

Great food, wine, atmosphere and staff

The service is excellent, it’s nice to have such a warm welcome!! The decoration and atmosphere is great!! I enjoyed myself, from start to finish, special mention for the crème brûlée 😍 And thank you to the waitress behind the bar for her top-notch service! thanks thanks thanks

Amazing staff, high quality food, great prices. They care about what they do here.

French place in Brick lane. Decorations was inviting with Christmas lights around the place. Food and wine choices are limited but delicious. I had their Charcuterie for starters to share followed by Beef Onglet served with fries and salad accompanied with great red wine. All very tasty!!

Incredible food, cozy atmosphere

Hidden gallic gem amid the festive light, curry slots & vape shops. An unexpected delight. French speaking staff (& customers) make for an immersive experience, we played things save steak chips & redwine followed by a creme brulee. First rate, we'll definitely return and expand into more adventurous terrain... Cheese soflee looks like a winner. Well done you lot, thank you!

The atmosphere and deco is great but I was disappointed with the food, it wasn’t fresh or full of flavour. The French fries were cold and almost could say double fried. I hope they can improve this amazing venue.

House red great , onion soup great .. but the mussels were not great … too small , 30% were empty and the white wine sauce was poor ! Good service but they didn’t handle my grievance well . Shame as a nice little restaurant .

A real pleasure to find this restaurant open after covid. The steak tartar is always good and the staff are extremely welcoming.

Excellent place. A menu with proper traditional french dishes. We liked the food, the atmosphere, the service. Fully recommend.

Nice little bistro. Sweetbreads were very small and overcooked but souffle was good. Steak main was delicious but the fish was very small and incredibly overpriced for the tiny portion

Friendly service, nice interior. The food is good but not amazing.

Very cute, very good authentic french food (the frog legs might be a bit cliché but stereotypes sell ;-p) Only downside is that we waited quite a long time for our mains which was a bit frustrating.
