La Madeleine in Herefordshire, County of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had a good experience here. Some simple and delicious food from a simple menu with good service and in a nice small garden protected by a canopy while it showered around us. Good place.

Lovely, freshly prepared food. Friendly, helpful staff, nice garden.

Always enjoy my visits here. Friendly staff, good food, dog friendly

Me and my wife came in Saturday for brunch. We didn't book so we got lucky when there was a table for 2 inside as all other tables were taken or reserved. Service was very good and food and drink came just as quick. We both had French toast and for me personally would have been nice to have some berries with it and not just bacon and maple syrup. It was delicious but for the portion size the £11 we paid I would say was a bit expensive.

My wife and I plus our small dog, always enjoy a coffee here. As it was a sunny morning we sat outside on this occasion. We chatted to the couple on the next table whilst enjoying our beverages. The staff are always extremely pleasant and polite. If you enjoy a slice of cake they always have a delicious selection to choose from.

Food was good and friendly staff.

Really sweet little French restaurant, quiche was tre bon, and chicken with mushrooms was beautiful

Met a friend here recently for a coffee and a catch up on a very cold Saturday morning. The tables were stating that they were reserved for lunchtime bookings, however as we were much earlier, we were permitted to sit there and enjoy our coffee and people watch, the shoppers in Church Street. The home baked cakes are always delicious and so is the lunchtime menu. It’s always a delight to have some time in their courtyard to dine al fresco when the weather is fine too. Great polite service with friendly staff.

Lovely chill café with relaxing low-fi music. Sit in the window to watch the world go by. Breakfast is recommended, cooked to perfection

Popped in for a spot of brunch. Recommend scrambled eggs on sourdough bread (£7, 3 large eggs) - it was filling, perfectly cooked, delicious. Very pleasant welcome, good coffee and tea. Tasty lunchtime specials too. Recommend reserving a table at lunch time as many were reserve for later. They will squeeze you in but ask that you do make the table available for the reservation time.

Our first visit and we were delighted - the food was excellent, the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was charming - we will definitely be going back.

Meal a present from family, slow to serve us, but once order taken service improved. Not the warmest place to sit and eat.

Wonderful food different flavours

High quality food with a fantastic service.

- Food average, including the frozen oven chips - Service pleasant but delivery of food very slow - Very small venue loid atmosphere with maximum amount of tables squeezed in.

What a gem, mid week lunch with my husband and we were not disappointed. Food was amazing, we sat outside in the lovely courtyard with a chilled glass of wine, perfect. We will definitely be visiting La Madeleine’s again..and again.

From outside, a modest little eatery in a narrow street in Hereford. But what a gastronomic experience! I have been fortunate to enjoy food in some famous establishments, including recently Ynyshir in mid-Wales, which was fabulous. However, the dinner provided to me and my motorcycling buddy by Ed, chef-patron at La Madeleine, came a very close second. The ‘beef three ways’ looked gorgeous served on a wooden platter. The piece of steak was cooked perfectly and was exploding with flavour. The cylinder of compressed pulled beef cheek was similarly flavoursome and covered with intensely crunchy panko breadcrumbs, adding a welcome textural contrast. The little pot of baby onions and slow-cooked beef was sublime in its buttery unctuousness. The chips were the best I have ever tasted (and that includes Ynyshir). Our waitress, Evelyn-May, was utterly delightful and coped gracefully with a bit of gentle banter from two old men. She found time to chat with us warmly and made us feel welcome and nurtured. We loved her hair! I am busy planning a second visit even though it will involve travelling again from Northern Ireland, to allow my wife to experience this very special little restaurant. As long as Ed can promise to cook us the same dish to precisely the same standard.

Nice place to grab a coffee or get some decent food, bit more hidden then some other places but on one of the nicest streets in Hereford, been a few times and it's always been good food with something different to other places in Hereford.

I have been several times on my own and with friends and it has always been enjoyable and so friendly

Popped in for lunch, lots reserved tables. Unfortunately a long 35 minute wait for our food with no warning by service staff (which was only warmed up quiche and steak sandwich with French fries ) Portion sizes very small and seemed over priced for quantity of food served ie Jan's Quiche with tiny salad and spoonful potatoes £12 We have eaten happily here before and so todays experience has put me off going here again as took so long for food to arrive and had to pay for additional parking to eat our food comfortably without rushing.

Popped in for lunch. No booking but they accommodated (Lots of reserved tables), Some items missing from the menu but we had an alternative which was very tasty. Portions, we're on the smaller side but well presented. They forgot us, so dropped a star on Service.

Always lovely food and a homely feel to this place, with friendly service.

Wonderful food....so glad I booked a table as it seemed very popular. Ordered the quiche, which was so tasty.

Delicious food. Great service. Lovely ambience. A really nice place for coffee or lunch.

Some of the finest, freshest most inspirational vegetarian food you could be lucky to sample.

A busy kittle place with amazing food. We went for breakfast as me and my husband had a rare day off together. My frech toast with berries and mascapone was so tasty. My husband enjoyed his equally.

Visited today for lunch. Now our go-to lunch stop when we're visiting Hereford. Consistently good food...fresh, great quality, top notch cooking and presentation. Excellent front of house, too, especially Nikki. Thank you, to all the wonderful team at La M....see you again in February!

Me and my girlfriend had breakfast here, it was very lovely and excellent service, the food was delicious too :)

Such a lovely cafe! This is my favourite place to go with friends for breakfast or coffee. The food drinks and cakes are exceptional. Service is also very good. If you are looking for a cute little cafe, I’d recommend this one.

Fantastic breakfast in a lovely little cafe with lots of atmosphere.

Exceptional food and a great evening out. It is not very often that I cannot find any fault with a meal. Everything we had to eat was outstanding and the staff were very good too. Would certainly recommend to others and if they cook like this all the time then they will definitely end up with an award of some kind 🌟

The service was very poor, my wife and I had grilled tomatoes on toast with fries. Not much for £10 especially when you have to ask for the fries which had been forgotten! When we finished we were not asked if we’d like desert or coffee. Very disappointed and won’t be going again

Again a resturant that I would not miss out on when in Ross on Wye. Great food and excellent service, a do not miss culinary experience.

Amazing food and friendly staff. Eating in the garden with the delicate smell of lavender was a marvelous experience.

Delicious food that was served so quick and efficient even though they were busy. Absolutely love the courtyard. Friendly atmosphere.

The food and ambience is always good here, but tonight was simply the best meal we’ve ever had… for starters we had heritage tomatoes beautifully presented with a tomato consommé, and home-made crab ravioli, followed by beef bourguignon with summer veggies and an aubergine and feta stack that was so delicious. Desserts were chocolate fondant with a to-die-for warm butterscotch sauce and strawberry, meringue and creme anglaise sauce, followed by coffee and cognac. The wine was luscious , the service fabulous… such a lovely lovely evening, eating outside with candles and fairy lights- thank you for such a beautiful meal 😍

A pleasant if uninspiring looking venue. We had fast and friendly service of drinks, but slower arrival of some unusual takes on French classic dishes from the small kitchen. I'd like to recommend this place, but they could try a mite harder.

Just a coffee break whilst In town. Worth coming here. Not quite French!

Nice food, friendly service. Excellent. Vegetarian options.

Incredible food! And a beautiful outdoor seating area that was like something out of the secret garden! Definitely going back when we are in the area. Dog friendly 😊

Excellent independent restaurant,great food and staff.

Great freshly prepared food. Good choice of daily menu.

Good food and friendly helpful service

First time at La Madeleine- excellent food and service, very friendly staff, cannot fault anything!! Very limited menu but there's something for everyone, which means they take extra special care to present the food, so it's actually a bonus having restricted choice. I wish more restaurants operated this way.

Fully booked at 1 on a Saturday. Good atmosphere and service, small menu but all looked delicious. Decent coffee. Decent value for money for the quality

Such a friendly and welcoming place. Had a lovely lunch of Nettle and Cheddar Cheese tart, absolutely delicious. Sat out in the garden, cozy blankets to keep us warm and lovely staff looking after us. Thank you.

The must place to go for the Best hot chocolate. A welcoming ambiance with friendly staff and good food.It soon becomes a regular place to go. A weekly treat for myself and my friend.

Excellent meal and service. One of the best steaks we've ever had. Reasonable prices and a lovely setting too.

Friendly service and nice food. Lovely cakes

Fabulous food. Friendly staff and great service

Excellent food. Great service and lovely amdience.

Lovely breakfast and good service even though it was very busy. Need to try the homemade cakes too as they look fabulous.

Fabulous food and really friendly team, despite us being later than planned. The Quality of ingredients and service was top notch.

Amazing service great food, we had the restaurant to ourselves , they kindly opened it in the evening just for us .thank you all for a wonderful evening for us to remember on our special birthday.

I ate lunch here today and wow. The food was absolutely delicious and very good value. Super service as well. I can highly recommend eating here.

Good service, friendly staff, good food

Beautiful cafe with secret garden area out the back. We turned up shortly before closing time and they were so welcoming. Luxurious hot chocolate, indulgent brownie, great coffee and the polenta cake melted in the mouth.

A really lovely place to stop for a coffee or for more, great food and super friendly. The garden is lovely in good weather, so pretty. It always feels a treat to visit La Madeleine!

Love the atmosphere and the most beautiful decor, the food is perfect too, just everything I expected when I saw the cafe, (I went for breakfast) I'm still yet to see their garden 😀

Great service. Great food. Great coffee. Would have liked more choices for breakfast but otherwise highly recommended

I had a table booked today for a birthday lunch. When I turned up I found you closed. Now I understand that in the current climate with covid places are having to shut quickly, but did you not have the decency, manners and good customer service to have texted me to let me know that you would be closed. Less than two minutes of your time and at least I would have known.

Fabulous homemade cake. What more do you need?

I enjoyed the bacon sandwhich, and mocha for breakfast. They have a lovely courtyard out back. I would definitely sit out there. We didn't realize there was outdoor seating!

Really friendly staff. If you like quiche then this is place to come.

Lovely service and great brekky. The garden is a little hidden gem, well worth finding!

Lovely staff greeted warmly. Sat in the garden felt safe. Food was fantastic best lunches we have eaten in a very long time. Will definitely be going again.

Really lovely cafe, we had lunch in the garden. Which was very pleasant. Food was great, service friendly and efficient. Well worth the visit.

Been in Herefordshire for a week this is the best meal by far great food and service and very reasonable hidden gem is over used but this place is a hidden gem

High quality food in a quiet family run restaurant . Nice outside area. Everything we ate was perfect. Feels a little like you are in a French village with the surroundings even though you are in the heart of Hereford city centre. Recommended

I was looking forward to eating here as it had such good reviews but was very disappointed with the food. Three of us ordered the steak which we couldn’t even cut into, also the three of us who chose the steak ended up being quite L

Delicious coffee in a charming location off a cobbled street, adjacent to many other interesting shops & eateries. Friendly service, lovely little courtyard garden too! Didn't try any food but served breakfast & cakes which looked good. Would visit again for breakfast or lunch.

Very shabby food and expensive for what we had

La Madeleine is our favourite restaurant in Hereford. The garden out the back is beautiful and quite sheltered so even lovely on a sunny but cool and breezy day. The food is of exceptional quality and very fairly priced. I love that their menu is small as I know everything is freshly prepared. Highly recommend the four cheese and caramelised onion quiche and the steak sandwich.

Tremendous food, excellent menu and fantastic friendly staff. Possibly the best restaurant in Hereford, it is for me

A simply perfect place to celebrate the marriage of our daughter and her new husband. I cannot fault the service we were given from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious and in abundance, the staff extremely attentive, and the atmosphere delightful! The courtyard garden provided us a private intimate space to party the afternoon/evening away! A massive thank you to everyone for making this happen! xxx

We had our wedding reception at La Madeline in July and it was absolutely perfect! The garden was the most beautiful setting, the food was delicious and the service was faultless. Special thanks to Nikki who made the whole day run like a dream, to Jan for producing all of the outstanding food and to Chris and Ed for making the planning process so enjoyable.

Great afternoon tea here on recommendation from a friend. Literally so much food they packed some up in a bag for us to take home. Sat in the undercover garden. Lovely way to spend the afternoon. Def recommend.

Great little place, don't walk by, try it. You won't be disappointed. Food rustic brilliance, tastey and fresh.

Our son's wedding was here at La Madeline last Saturday and it was truly a wonderful experience. The garden setting was lovely, the food was delicious and the service was second to none. The staff were so friendly and made what was already a fabulous wedding even better. Thank you so much.

The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was faultless. The most accommodating, friendliest and efficient restaurant I've ever been to.

Lovely little coffee shop. Beautiful home-baked cakes and super friendly staff. Recommended.

Love this little cafe/ restaurant, always very polite, great food on every visit!

Always a pleasure to eat here. Food and service both excellent 😋

Lovley little place to pop in, but I would recommend booking in advance as it's always busy and quite often have to turn people away. There also dog friendly but it is out side only I believe. The staff are friendly and the food is good and so is the coffee.

Cracking, delicious food, great service. Perfect!

Lovely food, staff very attentive and outdoor area beautiful

Friendly, fast service. Very willing staff. Food always amazing whatever you try.

Lunch on wed 9th, very welcoming,nice garden table. Drinks and food order taken quickly ,. 30 minutes later were asked to remind waitress of order which then arrived in another 15 minutes. Steak sandwich arrived cooked medium rare as we had not been asked how we wanted steak cooked. Sent back to kitchen and arrived well done. This did not turn out as a relaxing lunch, drinks taken off bill. Asked why delay and told order ticket got blown away. Won't be back again

Lovely ambience and lovely food. Really enjoyed my first visit back to La Madeleine.

We just popped in for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. We sat out in the Courtyard and we really enjoyed the experience. Lovely service and very friendly staff. I would definitely come back.

Delicious afternoon tea - substantial, tasty sandwiches, light scones and wonderful cakes ❤

Great breakfast, great service from friendly staff

Best place in Hereford. Great food and excellent service 👌

Hidden Gem beautiful walled courtyard to eat alfresco.

Staggeringly good food. Friendly polite staff. Highly recommend

What an amazing place.. The breakfast is so delicious.. I didn't book a table but they were very kind enough to accommodate me and my partner.. Thank you so much

Nice meal with reasonable prices

Some of the best service I've had this year and the crust free quiche is incredible!! I have ibs and eating out os always difficult. The staff couldn't have made it easier and turns out there were loads of food options all made fresh. Also, such a goodI can't recommend La Madeleine's enough!

Lovely fresh food and great staff

Amazing food as always in a lovely setting. 💖
