DARMON deli in Chiltern

Great food. Burgers very tasty. Probably the best burger we have had this year. The chips were so good we thought they were triple cooked they tasted so yummy. The salt beef Croque Monsieur was perfect. The owner is friendly and great at explaining the daily specials. it's our second visit and we will definitely be back.

Great food, great service in an cosie beautiful restaurant.

I recently visited Darmon Deli with my partner and some friends, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. We started with the arancini, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and wonderfully flavorful inside. For mains, we enjoyed the croque monsieur, quiche, and chèvre au miel, each served with a fresh, vibrant side salad. We ended our meal with some mouthwatering desserts. The service was outstanding; it felt warm and personal, which I think has a lot to do with the owner, who seemed to be running this little restaurant and made sure we felt welcome. His friendly presence added so much to the overall experience. The ambiance is lovely: cute and cozy, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing meal. The menu has a great variety of original choices, each dish clearly prepared with care. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a charming spot with delicious food and exceptional service in Amersham!

It’s very rare that I discover anywhere that makes such a great impression on me as Darmon, this restaurant ticks every box and more. We were so delighted to have discovered this wonderful restaurant in top Amersham. Both the food and the service were exceptional and far exceeded my expectations. The place was spotlessly clean and had a relaxed and very professional atmosphere. I cannot recommend Darmon enough, and we look forward to returning in the near future.

Just perfect ! Just go 🤩 Words cannot explain the pleasure I felt to eat such a delicious food ♥️ Thanx to the team ! So delicious, so fabulous !

Le repas était excellent ! Une tuerie ! Bien meilleur que d’autres restaurants qui se disent haut de gamme, une explosion de saveurs ! On s’est régalé ! Idéal même pour les végétariens. Le cadre est très cosy et l’équipe hyper sympa.

Always amazing when I come here, it's my favourite place to eat.

Eldad runs the best place you are ever lucky enough to find. A real showman, entertainer and good hearted human. The rest is amazing; food, atmosphere, wine. You won't regret. Truly amazing place. Will return again and again 🙏🏻

Me and my family absolutely love this place, it's so beautiful and warming. The food is 10s all around everytime and the service is second to none.

Darmon Deli: A Hidden Gem in Amersham As soon as I stepped through the door, I was struck by the cozy, welcoming vibe of Darmon Deli. This family-run restaurant greeted me with genuine hospitality, making me feel right at home. The unassuming local eatery quickly proved to be a delightful surprise - the carefully crafted menu offered an enticing variety of fresh, flavorful dishes that showcased the chef's culinary expertise. What really sets Darmon Deli apart, though, is the obvious passion and attention to detail that goes into every aspect of the experience. From the inviting ambiance to the impeccable service, it's clear the owners have put their heart and soul into creating a truly special establishment. This hidden gem in Amersham is the kind of place you want to linger and savor, whether you're enjoying a leisurely lunch or an evening meal with friends. I left Darmon Deli feeling not just satisfied, but genuinely impressed. It's the kind of place that makes you want to return again and again to explore the menu and bask in the warm, welcoming atmosphere. If you haven't had the pleasure of dining at Darmon Deli yet, I can't recommend it highly enough.

First time visit with friends on Saturday. Warm and friendly host and great food from start to finish. Hope to return soon.

Fab lunch. The staff were attentive and friendly. The food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend

We booked this restaurant because it is close and convenient for all the family to reach but after this visit, I think we need to go again because of the 5-star ✳️ service and the exquisite food! We are food lovers in our family, we appreciate quality and seek the best, this restaurant offers that in abundance plus they take care of us and all dishes are delivered on time to a high standard and top quality ingredients. My only point is that they didn't have a vegan pudding choice available on the night but at least I was left full so maybe next time 🙏🏾

Oh my days, what an amazing evening at Darmon Deli, fantastic French food, truly friendly service and great atmosphere in a bijou bistro. Most of the menu is du jour, so the food is fresh, seasonal and tasty. French with Italian influence it was superb and cooked and served with passion. Quickly fallen in love at first sight with place, we will be back! Worth a journey.

Had lunch here today and the food was excellent. The maitre D was very obliging and the service was prompt. I would recommend eating here

What a wonderful place! From the warm welcome and cosy atmosphere to the delicious, unforgettable food, it's clear that a lot of love goes into running this charming little restaurant. We highly recommend the steak and homemade pasta—both are absolutely exquisite!

A real special place with delicious food, always enjoy coming here. A very homey feel, and such welcoming staff and service.

Very special place. The food is amazing and delicious. The service was very welcoming and friendly and it was an all around great experience.

We went to Darmon Deli on a recommendation from a friend. It was absolutely amazing! The place is the perfect size for a cozy bite to eat and feels very private, lovely relaxed atmosphere, the owners are French as well which helps! Lovely food and great service, will definitely go back ☺️

Absolutely amazing food... Lovely family run restaurant. Great service and atmosphere. The profiterole dessert is unbelievable!

Lovely friendly place. Great food and great service. Personalised suggestions and freshly prepared food with freshly sourced ingredients! High quality overall. Recommend very much. French vibes

Such a good deli. I had the most delicious chicken and lamb shawarma with all the Middle Eastern trimmings. The owners are lovely and welcoming. I came here before covid and revisited today years later and it is still a great place to eat. Go here!

This place is gem in Amersham! I came with my husband one evening and we had a wonderful evening. The restaurant is lovely and cosy inside. The host is wonderful. Trust 5 star reviews!

First time visiting. Stopped for lunch and the welcome was very friendly and nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Food was absolutely delicious and fresh. I had katsu chicken and husband had beef sandwich and side of some of the best chips. Will definitely visit again and try it for an evening next time

My mum had been saying for a while I had to try this place. When I finally got around to visiting with her I was not disappointed. Husband and wife team with mr offering the warmest possible reception out front and mrs working magic from the kitchen. I’ve been back since and every dish is absolutely perfect. Everything made from scratch, with an international theme, and particularly French and Asian cuisines. Unbelievable value for the standard of food this place is putting out. I can’t praise it enough this place is absolutely fabulous.

Celebrated my birthday at Darmon Deli - our family all LOVED this place. Food was delicious service was just great. All dishes served together and we all enjoyed tasting each others. Hubby arrange for them to make my birthday “cake” Will definitely become a regular haunt!

Wow! What a fantastic menu with so much choice and great service too!! We all chose different dishes and were all very happy!!

First visit to this restaurant and loved it! Family run and had a real homemade and intimate feel to it. Food was amazing and flavourful with lots of variety to the menu and great vegetarian options too! The desserts selection also very impressive, all homemade and fresh, we tried to lemon meringue pie as it’s my favourite, couldn’t fault it. Super friendly, will definitely be returning!

Excellent food served by brilliant friendly staff! Dog friendly restaurant and she loved the salt beef too😅 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This is the most amazing place. The food is incredible, service impeccable, and owners absolutely lovely. If you try this you will not be disappointed and you will return again and again and again. AMAZING.

I've never had a bad meal there. Great price, super friendly atmosphere and most of all, great, simple food. You can't fault it.

We had a really delicious dinner at this charming place. Consistently top notch food and serivce - delightful owners. Thank you!

This is our family favourite restaurant in Amersham , food is always great , service amazing and owners are lovely people . You need to do yourself a favour and pay a visit to Darmon Deli as you will definitely want to come back again and again .

Service was fantastic Plates and food hot and kept that way Tasty and interesting combination of flavours spices and presentation-appetising and flavours filled the mouth Atmosphere terrific as serving utensils a collection of various styles and periods with serving plates all interesting and decor eclectic A find -pity to advertise but an experience out of London that was as good as a 3 star Michelin establishment with a smile and great service

Just outstanding. Everything. Service. Food. Wine. Ambience. Decor. Setting. Location. Quality. Value for money. Happiness

I’d heard good things however never been myself - was not disappointed. Fully booked on a Saturday however we still felt well looked after in a very friendly professional way. Menu is small with a few well chosen specials, wine list is also short but again excellent. It’s not a cheap dinner if you indulge in three courses and wine, although excellent value for the quality and service - thoroughly recommended

IF I could give Darmon deli 6 stars I would. A previous poster said she'd keep it quiet, well no, because we'd love this beautiful little bistro/restaurant to stay in business after the building development and keep open the one truly great restaurant in Amersham. Despite being very busy on the Saturday evening of our visit, we were seated quickly. The entrecôte steak was just as served in France itself- tender and delicious with indulgent sauce, the frites were perfect and the salad..yum, divine! My son's eyes when he saw the giant profiterole served..!! He asked to return for his own birthday dinner and that shows how impressed he was. Can't wait to return and try other menus items..sorry that I couldn't take raclette as only one adult at the table, but I'll be back....

A bit of France in Amersham. Everything was as it used to be, down to the potted palm. Very good food and excellent wine. If I was richer I would go more often.

A well deserved 5* review! Quite simply my favourite find of a French Fusion Restaurant in 20 years of living in Amersham and 50 years of travelling and fine dining across France. (Yes - I travelled across France as a baby!) My only annoyance is that I’ve taken so long to actually visit having spotted you since opening. My mistake! What a triumph Darmon Deli! I cannot wait to visit again.

Fabulous food and lovely service

Their people knows everything about the food. Takes their time to explain you what they are making and what makes them good and how they may be different from other things you might try elsewhere. Also have good knowledge on alcohol. Service is marvelous not to mention.

Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, and service. The host was very welcoming. Ill definitely be back 5 stars!

OMG! So so good. Great atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food, and wine. I can't say enough about this absolute delight of a dining experience. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I will definitely be back. 😊👌

Really very friendly and honest owner who worked with us to find food suitable for vegans. Very fresh and tasty dishes. Ratatouille, spring rolls - to name a couple - were outstanding.small selection of desserts but very fresh/tasty

I've been a few times, most recently last night, and have never had a bad meal. In particular yesterday (despite us being over an hour late for our booking - sorry about that!) I once again had a great meal and probably one of the best steaks I've had in years. I don't know why I don't go more often!!

Delicious food and wonderful service. Visited with our friends and their young son. We had the special Moroccan Fish Stew, Steak with sauce bordelaise, Chicken Katsu and Chicken Noodles. All of them were well prepared, tasty and generous portions. For dessert we couldn’t resist the Lemon Meringue Pie and Tarte Tatin to finish the meal off. A must visit!

Amazing food, great atmosphere, fantastic chef - very welcoming. Amersham’s little gem. Always go over and above to make your night special.

My family and I stopped at DARMON deli for lunch yesterday and I was honestly blown away by the quality of the food and the warmth of the service. The fish sandwich, schnitzel burger and croque monsieur were all excellent and the chips are to die for. If you have space, make sure to finish with one of their freshly baked desserts - the pear, chocolate and almond tarte was a revelation. The owner was also incredibly accommodating out of one year old daughter, which made our lunch even more relaxed.

The best food I've eaten in any restaurant bar none! High quality, fresh dishes with truly outstanding service. Thank you 😊

A top tier eatery in a town with lots of good eating options. Food is extremely good and the service is really smooth and friendly. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

It's outstanding place in Paris style with very friendly atmosphere! I didn't want to take desert but I stole it from my husband when I've tried it. I really recommend this place.

Everything is great and you always feel welcome whenever you come in. The waiting staff and kitchen staff are great and make you feel like at home no matter what.

Great food and out of the ordinary on the Amersham restaurant scene ! But charged £2 for extra spoon to share a dessert - with no prior notice? 😕 Why? Bit of a disappointment really when 12.5% service charge is applied to that spoon and added onto the bill.

Brilliant food from starter to Desert and great service. A hidden gem in Amersham

My new favourite restaurant. Perfection in all aspects. Food is amazing and you are made to feel like this is your home.

Tucked away on Sycamore road this place is such a Gem with a great FOH and the food to match it, would recommend to everyone

Love this place, great atmosphere which is helped by the decor. Food is very good, I had a fish burger with home made tartar sauce and salad, which comes with couscous and lots of different leaves, olives, hazelnuts and sultanas and my grandson had a salt beef sandwich with a side salad. The beef was about an inch thick and very tender, all yummy. We were both too full to manage dessert lol.

Charming ambience and glorious food. One of the best restaurants in Amersham. Try and peanut noodles. If I'd been at home, I would have liked the sauce off my bowl.

Had another wonderful evening in this little gem of a restaurant. A special relaxed atmosphere with a wonderful host and the rum raisin chocolate cake was to die for. Especially with a glaasss of calvados which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. Will be back!

Darmon Deli is a lovely family restaurant that has the most amazing french patisserie and food. The raclette when is part of their season menu is better than eating at the alps. I also love their fruit tarts with little Macarrons, everything they cook is fantastic. If you don't knnow the place is very easy to miss, it is besides the brewery shop in the high street. I have been a loyal customers for many years and the quality has never changed, it is very hard to point what is my favourite meal.

HIDDEN GEM! The owner is simply delightful and is very accommodating, not to mention the standard of food. We have been here a number of times and have been simply brown away. The chicken burger is a must have! Not only does he offer a take away service, he is also exceptional with his table service. A very romantic and authentic restaurant.

This spot is such a treat. Eldad provides excellent service and the food is fresh, inventive and alwasy exceptional. We love visiting whenever in Amersham.

Thank you to Eldad and his staff for a wonderful welcome and lunch today at Darmon Deli. Highly recommended for delicious food and excellent customer service.

Delicious food and excellent service

Lovely hidden gem in Amersham! Beautiful service and fabulous food! Today’s special Caramelised Chicken Ginger with Coriander was super! The Cheesecake was delicious 😋

We have been following them since the family ran the Little Heath Tearoom near Berkhamsted. They make French + Vegetarian possible.

Booked for Dad's birthday lunch. Prior to this I contacted them to check about my allergies which they could cater for and made me feel at ease. In the end, I wasn't well enough to go, but other family did and they are still raving...

Amazing food & the chocolate rum and raisin cake it to die for. No photo as too busy eating it.

We went there for something different after reading others review. Not only was it a friendly place and you was made very welcomed. The food was lovely, tasty and very fresh

This restaurant has it all : A warm welcoming, a real great bistrot ambiance, delicious & various dishes and to finish one of the best patisserie you would find around here ! And all homemade of course ! Thank you for this great moment.

We had a lovely evening in Darmon- very friendly, helpful service and the food was really delicious. I don’t usually eat dessert at all as they are not usually my thing, but we were spoilt for choice and I couldn’t resist. The desserts are wonderful-...

Original message in September 2022: I blame myself so much for not coming here earlier this year. This place is a hidden GEM of Amersham. The service is excellent, quality and taste is there and for a very fair price. It’s a MUST to come eat here. Eldad that will welcome you here is so passionate about sharing what he loves : yummy food and his guests. You’ll feel it, you’ll try it, you’ll love it ! I recommend this place 19/06/2023 - Updated message after coming MANY times since then I have been to Darmon Deli nearly 20 times over the last 9-10 months. I have always left the restaurant very satisfied. You will find EXCELLENCE every time you come there. The food is perfect, everything is well balanced and very tasty. Every mouthful is a sensory journey for the taste buds. The service is always so fantastic and attentive. I invite guests there regularly who are always amazed by the level of quality that Eldad and his wife (the great cook) provide. You will love this place once you try it.

This was the best restaurant i have tasted in the uk, felt like a quick trip to france. Service was great and the over all vibe was amazing.

Incredible service and amazing food. Such lovely people and it FEELS home-made in the best way. Such time and care has gone into the meals. We got 2 entrecote with peppercorn sauce and cleaned the plate. Best profiteroles of our life. Really great atmosphere and...

Great restaurant that we are lucky to have in Amersham! Food is delicious and the atmosphere and service are superb.

Asked for a drink, got told no, busy day tomorrow. They don’t serve after 10pm. So ok for an early dinner but you get given the bill without asking for it!

Been to Darmon for coffee and cake in the past but never tried their dinner. Heard all the good things about it so decided to give it a try. We went in last night and felt like being in France somewhere with sunshine and the decor of the restaurant. 3 of us had Coq au Vin and house red. Wow... Chicken was tender and flavoursome and the portion was generous. Wine was organci and beautiful. I forgot to take the picture of my main as I demonlished it so quickily! Luckily, I was too full to tuck in my dessert straight away so I managed to take a picture of my pavlova with berries and ice cream and my friend‘s New York cheesecakes with raspberry sauce. We were all pleasantly surprised and impressed how good our dinner were. Come and give it a try if you are in the area. I am sure you will enjoy it like we did.

Fab meal at this wonderful restaurant last night. Great food, beautiful environment, and a really lovely host. Wow

Lovely lunch. Great service and really lovely owner/front of house manager. Not your trad French bistro, great food much of which is south East Asian (French Indochine, I suppose).

We loved everything about our lunch at Darmon deli. The burger was phenomenal, the Croque (dish of the day) delicious. Would give 6/5 if possible. Forgot to take a photo in the beginning, so photo is of halftime Croque.

Outstanding french bistro food with a twist. Family run , fantastic service and dishes are executed perfectly Desserts made in house at the restaurant by a 2/3rd generation parisian pattisier A real gem , head there now!

What a gem of a place! The owner brings a little bit of France to Amersham and I'd be a regular if I lived a bit closer. I've lunched there twice - great croque monsieur dish last time. My friend had the galette which she...

We ate here last night and the food was sublime. Delicious parsnip starter with cherry sauce. Duck and steaks looked great and lots of veggie options. Patisserie puddings amazing.

Was recommended here by a friend. And very glad they did, as we were very impressed! Food was excellent, tasty and big portions. French family owners gave perfect service too, really friendly. Had no room for dessert, so will be returning very soon to discover...

This unassuming venue is a hidden gem! The galette and tartiflette are sensational and the homemade tarts must not be missed. Beware, the helpings are substantial so go there hungry!

Really nice atmosphere the owner has really good customer service So polite, attentive really made me feel welcome!

The best restaurant in amersham, a must. Cannot recommend enough

An absolute gem of a place Delicious lunch. Lovely owner. Super talented chef. Wish I’d had room for the fabulous cakes. My raclette dish was exemplary. My friend loved the quiche and Pouilly Fume.

Accidental find! What a great place. Nice atmosphere, great staff but most of all fantastic food Feels all home/freshly made. Nice twists on some with excellent quality Must go Will definitely return!

Absolutely delicious food - French onion soup spot on for me. Will frequent! Lovely host.

The raclette is a daily special and it was AMAZING, made with very good ingredients. It loved it 💕

Spot on every time. See you again soon.

I absolutely love this place. I grew up in France, so coming here makes me feel at home. The food is out of this world and the service is fantastic. J'adore!

Just found this place by chance and discovered hot, wonderful food and service provided. The owner was amazing, very knowledgeable and although they had run out of Prosecco, shame we still enjoyed our lunch immensely.

I don't normally leave reviews but was so impressed I felt I had to. Cosy restaurant. Nice decor. Friendly service. Menu was concise - all great options. Food was fantastic. All at a very reasonable price. Please don't change a thing. Will be back again asap!

Delicious evening, super friendly staff. I enjoyed every minute of it! I’m sure we’ll be back very soon. Merci beaucoup !!

We had an excellent experience tonight at the Darmon Deli. Every single dish we had was 10/10, portion sizes are perfect, the food was so delicious. I felt homesick and wanted a French evening to make me feel better and it did just that! The...

This place is so good! Seriously delicious food, and really great service. We were made to feel so welcome and would highly recommend to anyone!. Will definitely be going back again.
