Had another fantastic meal at Frederics last week. The food is always consistently excellent - matched by the friendliness of the team who looked after us. Still our favourite place to eat!

We visit the bistro often and cannot fault the food, wine and service. The menu is brilliantly simplistic. Yesterday we visited the newly open Maison restaurant. The Chateaubriand was probably the best I have ever had. The wine list in Maison is a little different than the brasserie but all fairly priced. Staff are always very welcoming. We will be frequent visitors!

I have had lunch on a Saturday afternoon with a friend several times here in the last few months as we have decided that this is one of our favourite places to eat in Maidstone! The quality of the food, the friendly atmosphere and attentive service make this independent café/bistro one of the best places in eat in Maidstone. The lunch menu is really varied and we have both eaten different dishes every time that we have visited. The lemon sole with capers butter, served with broccoli and green beans is my favourite, but the chicken with wild mushrooms in a tarragon & cream sauce is also delicious. The deserts/pastries are also delicious, especially the strawberry & cream roulade and Paris Brest with hazelnut cream and the flat white coffees are perfect. The cost of the food is relatively inexpensive for this quality. This independent restaurant is very popular on a Saturday lunchtime with a constant stream of customers. All you can hear are people talking, with no loud music!

Went recently with 5 friends and although the meal was fine we were cold! Also feel that perhaps a little bit of etiquette training needs with some of your servers. For example one of our ladies is a slow eater but all our plates were cleared away before she had finished which made her feel awkward and surely no plates should be cleared away until everyone had finished. Also food and hot drinks served over our shoulders when there was plenty of room to serve each person. Hot drinks were served across me when he could easily have walked round the table and served her directly. Could have been nasty if drink had spilt! Anyway won’t put me off going again as always enjoy the food

For a reason I don’t really understand we haven’t been here for ages but we were very pleased that we returned. We had booked in advance and it was very busy but we were quickly seated and offered menus and drinks. The menu was interesting and we were spoilt for choice. The service and food were both excellent. I had the walnut and Gorgonzola salad to start and my husband had the Camembert. This was followed by the sea bass and Moroccan lamb. Perfectly cooked and well presented. I didn’t want a dessert but my husband had the raspberry and pistachio tart and was delighted to find that it could be accompanied by a good glass of sweet wine. The only down side was that the radiators were off and it was a very cold evening, however we will be back but perhaps when the weather warms up.

Went there on a Saturday so was busy. Atmosphere good, service prompt and pleasant. We had Moroccan Lamb (£18.95) with chickpeas and rice and Lemon Sole on brocolli (£18.95). Food was delivered quickly; this showed in the taste. I would rate the lamb 3/5. Generous amount of lamb, minimal seasoning, I would have preferred less meat and more chickpeas, and more of the flavours that characterise morroccan food. This would have taken little effort to make perfect. The sole again was unseasoned, but granted, this is common practice here. A slice of lemon, a sprig of parsley and a splash of cream sauce would have easily transformed the dish. The broccoli was fresh and crisp. I would rate this as 3/5. In summary, good place to visit for the vibes, coffee or pastry. Very quick service, but if we wanted speed we could have gone to the kebab shop opposite. The meals we had felt rushed and could have easily been made excellent, but perhaps their other dishes do them more justice.

What can I say? It was fantastic to see my favourite restaurant packed to the rafters barely two weeks into the new year. Once again the service was impeccable with some familiar faces serving the happy patrons. I had the house Malbec which was delicious on its own. Crab was magnificent for starters, a blue fillet for main and a cheeseboard with a port for dessert. All finished and enjoyed with vigour. I am so happy when I go to this marvellous breath of fresh air in central Maidstone. Long may this establishment thrive!!!

A quite wonderful place to eat. All of the food we ordered was delivered without too much delay and was really very delicious. I had Dover sole which was cooked to perfection with fantastic crisp vegetables and a sauce to die for. For dessert, I had the Tarte au Citron which was very, very nice. Drinks wise, they have a wonderful selection of wines and quite a collection of fizz. Personally I stuck with their Alcohol free beer which was very tasty and refreshing. The staff were amazing. I would certainly recommend a visit and I will be returning.

Frédéric is one of those rare gems where the Universe aligns and you experience a true fine dining service in a beautiful restaurant, with lovely friendly staff who are passionate and at great value for money. Being next to the theatre they offer deals if you show a ticket too. My mum used to come here regularly just for their croque monsieur at lunch. You can even buy an incredible bottle of whisky, wine or gin too which are displayed on the wall. You will need to travel a very long way to find somewhere more specifical than Frédéric.

Very disappointed. We rarely go out and this was a special treat for our 46th wedding anniversary. The gentleman who finally greeted us made no apology for the wait and.. despite my being disabled, he went off at speed while we trailed behind him. Nobody pulled out my chair or made us feel welcome. In fairness it was very busy but that's no excuse. We've dined out enough in the past to know good service. I was never offered a second drink nor did anyone enquire whether we were happy with the meal. I don't remember ever feeling so ill served at this restaurant. The food was good but we had a simple lunch. We left feeling decidedly disappointed.

We have dined three times recently. My first visit was for lunch when I close the Bouillabaisse which was delicious. On my second visit I chose the Bouillabaisse again having enjoyed it so much before but was extremely disappointed. It mainly consisted of potatoes, was watery and not seasoned. My third was with my husband and we both chose the fillet steak. It came with anaemic chips and a very ordinary salad. I managed to eat mine but my husband’s was chewy and tasteless, he therefore left most of it. Very disappointed, we won’t be returning.

Exceptional service. Walked in for a drink, and seeing that it's a wine bar, I just assumed that they do cheese and charcuterie platters. Turns out it's not something they have on the menu, but without hesitation, the waiter just said, "Leave it with me," and brought us an amazing cheese board with some cold cuts. Can't recommend enough. Thank you. Made our evening.

Went for our wedding anniversary a week ago, had been years since we'd been so was nice to go again. Our food was mostly perfect with the exception of the Seabass, which was slightly over cooked and the plate was served with sauce over the sides. My Sole was fantastic, as was the rabbit tart, blue cheese and walnut salad and our Tart au citroens. We were given the choice of where we wanted to sit by a well-dressed gentlemen who couldn't have been nicer. A couple of gripes, though! If you want a soft drink then there is no drink menu for this and when asked it was Coke, lemonade, rhubarb press and one other which I can't remember. All again with lemonade if we wanted. I'd seen ginger ale and others in the fridge later on but was a bit disappointed not to be told this. Also, when our cutlery was cleared by the same waiter after our mains, he just put the cutlery in the middle of the table for us to sort ourselves. Little things may be, but make all the difference on a special night. Would definitely recommend and go back but won't be in a massive rush.

I don’t usually write reviews but felt that this was needed. Food was delicious with very generous portions, lots of options on the menu I would like to try. The staff were brilliant, served by numerous servers who were all very busy and didn’t stop, but they all knew what they were doing and worked together, very organised and hardworking and exceptional service from everyone across the board. When the bill came, tip was not automatically included which is a rarity and very modest, but very much deserved. Lovely atmosphere and all round great meal.

Eaten here a lot but today wasn’t as good. Pate and French bread was fine though a little basic. I had the goats cheese tartine and it was very bland, basically melted cheese on toast, very ordinary and disappointing. A change in the menu would be better too as we’ve been eating here for a few years now and nothing has changed. The desserts are always excellent and some of the menu items are good but definitely wouldn’t recommend the goat cheese tartine. Feeling like it’s time to move on which is a shame as there’s not many good restaurants in Maidstone Town Center.

While we visited Maidstone we stopped at Frederic Bistro for a meal and we had an amazing experience. This place has a great location and excellent service. It should be on your list if you are getting to Maidstone. Excellent food, with lots of wines to choose from and drought French beer makes this place perfect for stopping by. I do recommend having a reservation but if you don't try your luck, the staff was very friendly with us and they offered us a table without reservation. I will definitely drop by next time when I visit Maidstone.

Food was good. Service was good apart from waiter who was a little creepy and condescending. Unfortunately the entire experience was ruined by another customer who took it upon himself to be extremely rude and racist to my Russian friend, making comments like "we don't want Russians in our country" and other horrible things. They were a pair of old stuck-up men who think they can be racist and generally awful to anything they meet. Staff did not intervene even though they walked past several times and must've overheard. I reported the issue the waiters who who were congregated by the till. They were apologetic but didn't really seem to care all that much. I don't think I will be returning.

I love Frederick Bistro, but today wasn’t the best time. We had brunch, ordered pancakes and the big wake up (full English breakfast). Unfortunately the pancakes were rubbery not fluffy and soft, drowning in maple syrup and there were 5 blueberries in total. The full English breakfast was okay. Sausage was overcooked and dried, toast cold and rubbery. Waiters didn’t offer options for brown bread. In fact the bread was a huge disappointment to my friend that ordered an avocado toast. I would assume they would serve s quality sourdough bread for the price. But not! The service is always great, and I left a tip despite of all. I am not sure I will come back.

Recommended by friends of ours (who dined with us) and I am pleased to say that my wife and I were equally impressed. The restaurant has an interesting interior, with stocked wine bottle shelves covering most of the walls. It's cosy and relaxed. The waiting staff are friendly, attentive and patient. That particularly stood out for us. It's as good as anywhere we've been and definitely en point. For starters, I had the curried crab as a contrast to my main. The curry flavouring was not overdone, so it was flavoursome and light. The others went for the pate. This looked generous, as the pate portion was fairly large and served with plenty of bread slices. We then all went for the steak. All four were cooked to perfection - two medium and two medium-rare. It was a lovely thick piece of meat too. All ingredients were clearly top quality and it was a delicious dish, served on very warm plates. Obviously after such a delicious main, it's customary (in my book) to order desserts. My prune tart was just right, not too large and the taste reminded me of fig roll biscuits, which I love. Bearing in mind that we also had two bottles of red wine and coffees, we thought that the bill of about £60 per head was very good value. We felt slightly guilty being the last table to leave, but we didn't really want to go home!

Fab restaurant with great service, and staff you will recognise each time. Classic French, generous great quality food from an independent restaurant. Also fab range of wines and spirits to buy and take home (will gladly give advice and let you try). Food service is rapid even when busy and generous and flavoursome. Don't forget to get a divine take away cheeseboard for later. Thank you <3

Well cooked beautifully presented and a taste to die for one of the very best fish and chips I've ever had.

Where do I start this pub was outstanding from start to finish. I approached them in December asking for a venue for a special celebration from the beginning they were nothing but warm and welcome and just went above and beyond to accommodate everything that I wanted and more. I could not fault the landlady, her partner or their daughter for all of their help. They were polite attentive and just all round amazing. This is a pub will now continue to drink in and recommend to anyone I meet. Any negative reviews are just utter rubbish as they were absolutely amazing would highly recommend
