La Parisienne in Newark and Sherwood

The menu may not look exciting, but the service is superb, and the quiche, calamari, toasties are all truly excllent, served with a wonderful salad with watercress, courgette silices, tomato and avocado. The pâtisserie is worth driving hours for, I have rarely encountered such fine lemon tarts, just bitter enough, but with citron written on the top in dark chocolate to enhance the lemon. There are many lunch options in Southwell, but this is memorable.

Amazing!!! First time visit with my mum and it was just outstanding! Best salad Nicoise I have ever had! Wonderful gluten free options for my mum. Owner was lovely! We will definitely be back and highly recommended. Very special place ❤️

I dropped in for a coffee and cake . It is a nice cafe but if you aren’t a regular you feel a little bit of an outsider . It is very expensive so I would ask the price before making an order .

If this is number 7 in the ranking of restaurants in Southwell the ones higher up the list must be fantastic. The menu is limited but they clearly concentrate on dishes they have mastered rather than extend beyond their comfort zone. The bouillabaisse was as good as any since we last visited Marseille, and the moules frites was up to the standard we love on the Breton coast. Lovely ambiance and great service.

Hugely disappointed! We had book for lunch today to celebrate a birthday. When we arrived we found the place closed! They had taken our booking by phone and hadn’t the courtesy to let us know that they were not opening after Easter. Very unprofessional and disappointing, especially as we had travelled to Southwell especially to visit the restaurant. 😡

visiting the Minster we happened upon this petit bistro. The staff were pleasant and service was quick, despite being quite busy. A varied menu was enough to provide a satisfying meal

Got drawn into this lovely little place today, we always look at menus as we are passing eateries and this one drew us in - lovely warm, quirky and friendly little bistro with great smells and as luck would have it they had a table free. Had a wonderful lunch, mussels, frites and garlic bread and my husband had bouillabaisse which was flavoured with pastis, really tasty - tarte au citron to finish, lovely food, friendly prompt service and all the while with French music in the background - it felt like an unexpected mini break to France!! - highly recommended

Excellent food very prompt service beautiful decor reasonable prices very welcoming place owners very kind and go the extra mile to make you feel happy and welcome

Friendly service but a disappointing experience. The meals we had varied. There were also problems as we didn’t receive some of the side orders. Some of our party were happy but others couldn’t eat their food. The meals weren’t cheap. Looking at the owners comments on one of the reviews below I’m sure they won’t be happy with my review. However there needs to be a greater concentration on quality of the meals served.

The best food in Southwell, bistro cuisine at pub food prices. Please don't put your prices up though! Took a friend for lunch, both of us foodies and it was superb from start to finish. Moules and the Bourguinion, freshly cooked with French flair, both sublime. Two delightful desserts, friendly attentive service, a nice buzz with a full although small restaurant and no shock horror on the final bill. These two are getting it spot on, long may it continue. In the words of Arnie, I'll be back.

Delicious authentic French dishes in cosy setting - an absolute delight; we were so grateful to have booked and not have to join the Q of those who had to be turned away!

Just called here for lunch and discovered a real gem. The menu was varied and food excellent. All of the hosts were wonderful and very accommodating. We will certainly be back and would thoroughly recommend the food and ambience.

Absolutely great, lovely small bistro with a fabulous atmosphere and superb cooking, loved it. We had lovely conversations with people we didn’t know, whilst drinking a French red wine, waiting for our lunch. Just delightful. We will be back.

Two friends joined my wife and I when we paid a return visit to this Southwell gem-a warm welcome, the best bouillabaise, delightful tartiflette du saumon,a perfect Sauvignon blanc, and very reasonable prices. The bistro looked its best in its Christmas wear. All four of us back soon

Lovely food, you need to book as only small. Friendly relaxed service and nice choices on the menu. Everything freshly cooked and so tasty. Staff are nice and nothing is too much trouble. Very reasonable prices, hard to beat.

There are very few good eating places in Southwell, and the food here is amongst the best. We lunched before an afternoon concert. I had the paella, and my wife the moules. Both excellent. Very attractive decor and ambience. On the day we visited, the lunch menu was very limited. Only 6 mains, 3 of which included seafood which might not be to everyone's liking. (The online "sample" menu was much more varied). There were only 2 wines on the menu - the house red, and the house white (Italian !) We obviously selected the white as we were having seafood, and weren't impressed by it. I asked the manager why there was no French wine available, and he offered to bring me the wine list ! (Why didn't we have it with the menu ?) In fairness to him he allowed us to choose another wine for no charge. The service was friendly and welcoming, but too laid-back. There were only 6 tables, but no-one ever came over to us unless we signalled. We would certainly eat there again, now that we know what to look out for - the food was delicious.

This is our second visit and it was well worth a 2 hour drive to eat here. We wish it was much nearer as we would visit regularly. The cuisine is of the very highest standard, superb in every sense.

Absolutely adore this place! The food is just superb and could not wish for better! We’re working our way through the menu! 😍 The owners are so lovely and welcoming… Plus the restaurant itself is just adorable with its decor… Don’t really want to shout about it as we want to keep this place a secret so we can get a table 😊 but you must try this wonderful and very special restaurant…

A delightful corner of Paris in the heart of Southwell. Welcoming, relaxed and friendly service, coupled with inspired French cuisine made this a day to remember. Our first visit- with more to follow!

My friend and I stopped of in Southwell for something to eat and feel very lucky to have walked into this lovely restaurant. the food was authentic French, North African food. we have a Fish tagine as good as anything we had in Morocco. This was a very much apricated find. Thank you

As always the food was wonderful. Very relaxed and friendly. Nice choices on the menu and very reasonably priced. You do need to book as it is only small and very popular. We all had different things, each one very tasty. Always my first choice of places to eat in Southwell

Lovely Lunch with a good friend! My chum reported the Boef Borginon was beautiful & my Cassoulet & Garlic bread was awesome. Good wholesome French Cuisine in a lovely atmosphere for a cold day! Ginger & Pear Tart was yummy. Service was good, non intrusive & friendly. Love this place!

Absolutely wonderful food, service and atmosphere, a true little gem, serving the most wonderful French food. The cassoulet is just quite simply divine as are the incredibly tasty little french tartlets served as a sweet. A truly wonderful little restaurant with the most loveliest waitress who cannot do enough for you. Southwell is incredibly lucky to have such a little gem!

It’s difficult to find this place open but now it shuts at 4pm so we thought we would try it for coffee and cake. We got a table and was wiped before we sat down. The pastries looked delicious and actually were, my problem was...

I rang 3 times over 3 days to make a reservation. I left answer-phone messages and got no reply? On top of this I sent emails, to which I also got no reply. Very disappointing customer service

Very impressed with the food here. Having travelled in France for the last 40 years and being familiar now with good French Cuisine, I can say that this is the best place in our region to sample the French experience that you normally get in...

Haven't been able to eat here for a while due to restrictions but it was so good to be back. The fish tagine was a real winner. This is food cooked with love and care. You need to book. Tables well spaced and every care...

Absolutely stunning food! This little bistro takes flavours to the next level - all freshly cooked and flavoursome…. Noelle is a culinary genius and her french cooking is the best! Would totally recommend this place.

We had not visited this restaurant before, as we are relatively recent arrivals in the area. We chose the tajine de poissons, which was outstanding - cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. Due to pandemic restrictions, we have missed our usual visits to France,...

Stopped here for lunch today and were lucky enough to get a table after a short wait. I would advise booking! We were told the days special but I decided on the falafel mezze and my husband had the homemade quiche. Both were amazing, very...

We had a fabulous meal at La Parisienne. We basically ordered pretty much everything off the evening menu & shared it between the four of us. It was absolutely delicious, without exception. The moules & frites were piping hot & so tasty, the calamari were...

What a wonderful find. Like stumbling down the back streets in a French town. A small tasty bistro menu freshly prepared accompanied by ambient decor, wine and charming owners. Et voila! We found you. Thank you Anna, Peter and Theo x

What a wonderful evening with beautiful wine and a lovely charcuterie board. The atmosphere was beautiful and the service exceptional. Thoroughly recommend to everyone who enjoys quality wine and food.

What a fantastic little French gem! Went there for lunch on a weekday and had some great food. They also do a cheese and wine evening on Fridays and Saturdays and they provide excellent French cheeses and cold cuts. Staff are super attentive and accommodating....

Afternoon tea! A selection of 4 delicious fresh sandwiches. Absolutely beautiful. Plenty of tea and coffee but, No choice of scones. We were given 2 plain ones which were light and very good. No choice of patisseries, given 2 almond tarts. No macaroons, no artisan...

Where do we begin...? This was our first lunch out since lockdown and we were met with a barrage of unprofessionalism and abuse. We were shown to a table by a member of staff wearing no mask or gloves. Our drinks order was taken and...

If you are looking for an authentic taste of French cuisine then you need look no further than 'La Parisienne' . We visited at lunchtime and the Cassoulet I ordered was perhaps one of the best I have tasted anywhere either here in the UK...

We stumbled across this little gem whilst walking in Southwell, a cosy ornate space. The waiter was welcoming and our order was taken in a timely manner. We enjoyed beef bourguignon and cassoulet both dishes were bursting with flavour and absolutely sublime. An overall lovely...

I was a guesst speaker at Southwell U3A a few months ago and they generously invite ther speakers to lunch. I was abashed to admit I'd never noticed La Parisienne before, though I've visited Southwell numerous times and it's been there 11 years. I had steak frites and salad and it was excellent. I wasn't paying, but at £12.95 this was excellent value. Someone next to me had the day's special - a seafood tagine - and it looked amazing. I resolved to return, with my partner, and try that. This time the seafood tagine looked different but it was replete with fish - mostly white fish - and was spectaular and full of flavour. My partner had a Roblochon cheese omelette, which she enjoyed. I had a lovely apple cake to finish (only £3)!! and my partner had a rich salted caramel and chocolate tart (£2.50)!!.With two large glasses of house red (Cab Sauv Pays D'Oc - excellent) the whole lot came to £41.40, excluding tip. I thought this was terrific value. The owners were very kind too after I realised I'd left my shoiulder bag there and they held on to it until I returned to pick it up. No wonder they stay busy when other places and national chains are struggling. We will definitely be returning.

I would like to congratulate la parisienne for winning the great taste award 2019 for there vegan food and also congratulations for being finalist of the north food award well deserved Thank you for you lovely food and hospitality on Saturday a great place to eat and finally getting the recognition for it well done

We were drawn into this restaurant by the unusual choices on the menu posted outside, and were not disappointed by the very delicious food. The quirky decor made an enjoyable setting for the meal. The only slight downside was the service, which was a bit on the slow side. Would certainly return.

Our friends decided to try here for coffee (for a change), as we hadn't visited there with them.We certainly won't be going again!Poor coffee (not hot) and poor service, the coffee was expensive for what it was and the unfriendly service and welcome made the experience one never to be repeated.

You have to eat here!!!We loved it that much we ate here twice in a week. The food is authentic and full of flavour. I was going to take pictures but I just completely forgot and had to eat my food lol. However trust me it was fantastic. The decor is charming and the staff are fantastic. They can’t do enough for you.

Made to feel very embarrassed having been shown to a lovely table for two, sat down, coats off, only to be asked to leave as the table was needed for someone else who hadn't arrived yetThe cake looked wonderful but now we'll never knowDisappointed and embarrassed in front of a full cafe of other customers

Four of us went for Saturday lunch and really enjoyed it. My husband and I had the cassoulet which was very tasty and had the most meat I’ve ever seen in a cassoulet. My parents enjoyed their fish dishes (tagine and bouillabaisse), both of which had plenty of fish (there was a mix up with my mum’s dish but it was sorted quickly and without fuss). I then had a chocolate tart topped with a macaron which melted in my mouth. My husband had a lemon and coconut tart which was so delicious that I bought one to take home and my parents raved about their scone. My double macchiato to finish was perfect. Lovely friendly staff.

Me & my husband visited today for the first time for lunch, and we were not disappointed! I had the fish tagine and my husband had the salt beef sandwich. It was absolutely delicious and good value for money - I now think I’ve found my favourite place to eat in Southwell!

This place is a gem. The menu is simple yet diverse, beautifully cooked with lovely complimentary flavours. The prices are very reasonable and there is a great ambience to the place. Service could not be faulted!! Thank you La Parisienne

Decided to treat my hubby to lunch at this little culinary gem. It might be small and the decor and crockery, a little quirky but the food is absolutely fabulous! French onion soup is so delicious, mezzi and potato tartifillette awesome. The team are very friendly and nothing is to much trouble. We wanted dessert but couldn’t eat another morsel in the Bistro, so were delghted to find we could get our pecan tart and rum&raisin; cake to go!

We visited for my niece's 18th birthday a couple of weeks ago and the Sunday lunch was outstanding (my husband said it was one of the best Sunday lunches he had ever had!). The food was great - meat cooked beautifully and lots of delicious vegetables. Great selection of tasty puddings too. I can't wait to go back!

What a lovely little place.... so cosy and welcoming. I visited with my Mum on Saturday lunch time and even though they were incredibly busy we were looked after so well. There are lots of gluten free choices - fantastic for coeliacs to be spoilt for choice! Love it.

My husband and I really loved this little gem. Great selection of food and really tasty. The only negative for us was that the tables either side were very close. We would thoroughly recommend though and hope to go back soon.

Four of us went for lunch before a trip to the races. We had booked but we were delayed by traffic but they still held our table. I am vegetarian and had one of the best meals out in ages, the vegetable tagine was fabulous. We were full after 2 courses and bought a great cake each to take away with us which were really yummy. I would definitely visit again.

We haven't been here for a few years so it was good to come back and see nothing's really changed. It's a very small restaurant and so doesn't always have free tables, but we were lucky.

I have never in my life received such awful customer service in my whole life, and having read some of the other reviews it seems I am not the only person.

I never actually got to eat here because of the most appalling customer service I've ever received!

Three cousins met up atLa Parisienne where we booked a table. The menu was wide and varied but we had hoped to have the sea bass that we had previously seen when we had afternoon tea there. We asked the owner who was most helpful and said the fresh fish had just been delivered, and he would be very happy to cook it for us. Delicious! And the fresh raspberry tart was scrumptious. An absolute delight.

Have been here for lunch a few times over the summer and each time the food and service have been really good . Wonderful salads , fabulous omelettes and very scrumptious cakes and pastries. Recommend booking as it is often very busy.

Old world cosy bistro. Spoilt for choise on the cakes and tea freely topped up. Booked via Wowcher for afternoon tea. Recommend the poached salmon sandwiches and the scones were to die for.

We booked via a Wowcher deal. What a great little find. It's only small but full of character and homely. We had an afternoon tea. The sandwiches and cakes were perfect. Who goes on about a sandwich and a cake? No one does until you have been here!!

More than 20 mins drive from city, lovely town with big history Minster .Very friendly welcome ,I guess he was the restaurant owner , and his wife be the main chef . Good size of Starter ,taste good , main course fabulous,slow cook with fully delicious. Homemade deserts nothing to fussy . Will visit again for afternoon tea . An important info was we are using groupon voucher with offer price and limited choices . But fully services .

My favourite destination been for Saturday lunch very nice food excellent customer service my favourite place in the town I don't think it's fair on the owners that because you can't get in you write a bad review they are Very hard working people they always go that extra mile for you any customer with common sens shouldn't take notice

Brilliant will return. clean. efficient. polite staff . tasty food . good atmosphere . warm welcome such a pleasurable visit highly recommend

Purchased a wowcher voucher for afternoon tea for two. Phoned to make the reservation in September only to be told by the staff who answered my call that ‘he was too busy with people in the restaurant and didn’t have time to deal with my booking’. I appreciate that being busy adds pressure but the attitude and lack of manners from the waiter was just rude. Taking my details and calling me back wouldn’t of been too much hassle would it?

Saw the deal on groupon, meal for two. I checked the dates I could use the deal for and great the day I wanted was available. I bought the deal, booked the table via groupon and received confirmation of my booking.

Visited here mid week and what a treat. Lovely atmosphere we were made to feel very welcome. It is a small establishment booking would be advisable. We chose of the set menu, our party chose the Coq au Vin which was superb and the Vegetable Tagine which was excellent. Our aim will be to return in the not too distant future.

Two days ago I had booked afternoon tea today at La Parisienne to celebrate my birthday . My daughter and I arrived only to be told we couldn’t have afternoon tea , as the person who had taken the booking had not specified that it was for afternoon tea .and there was not the food to create one . We had to settle for lunch which was very nice but not the special birthday treat I was so looking forward to . I cannot begin to describe how upset I feel as the one thing I was so looking forward to today was spoiled . The tea has been rescheduled but my birthday has been spoiled .

Very authentic. Small and atmospheric. Great coffee and tea. Cakes are scrummy. Great service. A lovely find in a lovely town.

The restaurant is quite small so you do need to book for lunch. The owners are lovely and it is run in a true French style. The fixed price menu is very good value, everything very tasty and freshly cooked. I have been before and it was as good as I remembered. Friendly, good service

Didn’t get to try food as we were told to wait for a table by a nice waitress, a few minutes later, some guy appeared in an apron and asked had we booked a table in a rather abrupt manner! We explained we were advised to wait by the waitress as a table were paying and about to leave, he said they were fully booked, marched offf and made the waitress come and apologise for her mistake, and there were in fact no tables free. Needless to say, having been treated this way I would not hand my money over if I’m back in Southwell, regardless of how good the food is supposed to be, poor experience.

Visited for an early Saturday dinner before a concert in the nearby Minster. The restaurant was busy, even at 5:30. The menu is fairly standard Italian restaurant dishes, but obviously freshly prepared using good quality ingredients. Starters, pasta and risotto all very good. Excellent service, waitress recommended a very good bottle of Italian white.

Booked a table for lunch - advisable at the weekend - and went for the fixed price 2/3 course menu, which offered a good choice of dishes from meats and fish to vegetarian. I opted for the crab starter served on fresh artisan bread with salad. This was delicious and very thoughtfully presented. For main I chose the king prawn Polynesian French salad - delicious! There were plenty more choices in the main menu but the fixed price was fine and good value. We had to go for the wide range of French pastries - delicious. Service was excellent and the décor suited the cuisine. Good range of gluten free options available. Well worth a visit.

We had afternoon tea here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The service was excellent, friendly and unintrusive, and the food was lovely. The sandwiches were freshly made, the scones still warm from the oven, the patisseries were delicious and the tea unlimited. We liked the relaxed ambience and were made to feel very welcome. Will definitely return and would like to try the lunch menu too.

We were fortunate to secure a table as they seemed to have plenty of reservations as well as people walking in, on the off chance of getting a table. Service very good. Calamari was excellent but the posh cheese on toast with bacon was disappointing - couldn’t see the bacon and not much cheese though it was ok. Side salads which accompanied the food were fresh and nice.

Had reserved a table but arrived one hour early so called into ask if they could accommodate us. A charming young lady met us with a smile and invited us to sit down. Service was excellent very friendly but not intrusive. The lunch was of good quality and we thoroughly enjoyed the three courses. Good food coupled with friendly staff is sometimes a rarity these days however this establishment certainly excels in both food and service.

Took an unexpected trip to Southwell for the first time in 20 years. I always remembered it as a beautiful market town and wasn't disappointed on my return. Some lovely pubs and eateries in the town. I enjoyed a calamari starter which was cooked to perfection served with a citrus mayo. My friend had the falafel which were good and a generous portion. My main course of chicken Caesar was excellent, my friend had the mushrooms with penne pasta which looked delicious. All round great value - 2 courses for £13.95 per head. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for an enjoyable lunch.

One of the funniest sights I remember with great joy is that of my brother in the rain trying to straighten a mudguard that was permitting a steady muddy sprinkle of water up his back as he struggled up the hill from Bar Fluer to Valconville. We had descended on the Saturday market to buy cheaply all the foodstuffs that make French food so special . Not least cod and scallops straight off the inshore boat. He and I rooted to the spot in our favourite cafe/bar as our spouses accumulated bags of “commissions” under our table. Eventually they wanted to stray into the the expensive boutique-y type shops and somewhere posher for lunch. We stayed put and had that days chalk board fried squid and then muscles and a second carafe of their by then delicious house white..

Great flavour coffee. .. amazing cake selection. ..all made there, I chose lemon cake oh so moist! Will have to go back to try others! !!

I have always gone to la parisienne for lunch or patisserie and cakes but this time we have decided to try afternoon tea it is by far the best I have ever tasted the scones were as light as a feather the mini canape petit four patisserie was outstending the sandwiches were amazing not your boring usual it's a shame you Are not close to my home town I would here evry weekend I hope southwell apriciate you

Parents booked a anniversary meal here calling last week and double checked to make sure it was open on the 2nd April with it being a Easter Monday and was told yes and so booking made.

What a find! Authentic French food with friendly service. We had Tartiflette and a Croque Monsieur - delicious!

I have for years been intrigued by this place so we thought we would try it.

Delightful food served by friendly staff in a typical French atmosphere. The lunchtime menu was interesting and varied.

Hadn't been for a while and was bowled over by the restaurant's decor, staff and especially the food. Very tasty French Moroccan fayre.. rustic, colourful and tasty, and plenty of it. Noelle and Steve are great hosts. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

My friend and I had tried to get a table at the Deli in Southwell, but no chance! We had a look at La Parisienne tempting menu and went in.... lovely warm, eclectic little restaurant, friendly, informative staff and fabulous food! We shared 2 dishes, Goats cheese and Bee Pollen salad, the owner explained that he had been introduced to Bee Pollen in Croatia and showed us some, it was a delicious addition! The Halloumi and sweet potato fries with a yoghurt dip were perfect. Both dishes were mouthwatering. We even had dessert, a pistachio and apricot cake which was moist and flavoursome. I would totally recommend this gem of a restaurant, the retail therapy was pretty good too!

Food is above average but they are not so sure about people with food issues. Still, they have options for everyone and are willing to discuss food contents. Lovely little restaurant.

My wife an I popped in by chance for a quick lunch and we were not disappointed. Tender, juicy roast meats, beautifully cooked and a wide selection of vegetables in portions that are more than generous.

Had 4 for lunch here today and would highly recommend this restaurant.

4 of us visited on a Lunch Time on recommendation from 3 of us after a previous visit last year.

This beautifully decorated cafe is a real gem and the tea and Bramley Cakes are outstanding! However, what places this shop at the top of my list is the sweet and charming nature of Noel the owner and chef at La Parisienne. When in Southwell, you must stop in and sample some of Noel’s special treats. You will be so glad you did!

We were a group booking of twelve for Sunday lunch. Service was prompt and polite and the lunch was outstanding - everything cooked to perfection. Very generous portions of well-seasoned vegetables and a beautifully cooked selection of roast meats. Very nice desserts. I cannot fault them!

Very sad to find out that la parisienne is no longer a restaurant but the new changes to patisserie &Bistro; is very nice we visited on Saturday had coffee and patisserie felt like I was in the heart of paris the patisserie tasted just like the one from chez pouchkin I paris my favourite place in France and the best thing A La riene astrid chocolate what more can't wait for the next visit la parisienne has become my new chez pouchkin

To be fair we hadn't booked and it was quite a busy night. I felt from the start we were not that welcome. Perhaps they required the table for a later booking. Food was OK but the service a bit hit and miss. Just lots of little things. Had to ask for a napkin. I felt I was being rushed into ordering my food. Lamb tangine was tasty but the way it was served made it a bit messy to eat. No cream for Irish coffee so requested a filter coffee instead. It came in a glass with whisky and no milk. It was ok but just a bit odd. When the bill arrived it was for another table but they did sort out the correct one. Perhaps I'm just a messy eater having a bad night.

Long time since we have been due to traveling but its so nice to come back My partner and me had gambas and sea bass beautifly cooked attention to details Thank you for making our night special will be back soon highly recommended

Food appeared cooked upfront came very quickly was poor quality. We bad been before and quickly realised taking a group and being asked to prebook was a mistake as we had a good meal sometime beforeWe will not return

This one of the best local restaurants in the town. It has a cosy and relaxing atmosphere and serves absolutely fabulous home cooked food. Very personable and attention to detail. Definitely not to be missed!

If you want to book a larger group don't bother. There is clearly a monkey and organ grinder when booking an unfortunately for us the monkey made an almighty error resulting in a very rude woman turning down a group of mums from a baby group that had been looking forward to the occasion for weeks.Firstly we booked an evening which they had down for lunchtime???Secondly I asked if we needed to pre order to be casually answered no.Off my own back I collected deposits, which they did not ask for but showed we were serious.Asked about a set menu which would help there end with the cooking, which was agreed and supposed to have been sent by e-mail, never received however technology could have been to blame.Although they said on the day of the meal in the morning we could still have the evening, they then demanded pre orders. Totally unrealistic hours before and due to this was made out to be a lier, feel stupid and greeted with a extremely bad attitude of a disgraceful woman who shoved the deposits back at me.Rude! Disappointing! Unexceptable!Think twice when there are far nicer establishments in the area.

Four of us visited for lunch. Lovely little place, good atmosphere even when busy.Good menu choices, only soup for starters but we had a main and shared between two of us (wild mushroom risotto ), no problem.Can recommend the beef, salmon and chicken brochettes with bulgar wheat, beautiful.Steak and chips, gambas also a winner.Staff pleasant and helpful.Clean toilet.Will be back

Lovely little restaurant in Southwell. I didn't know it was there for a while but now we have found it we will definitely be back! Well priced and fantastic food. I would have had everything off the menu! Great service. Highly recommended!!

From the moment we walked in we felt at home, the staff were brilliant at welcoming us into the restaurant, nothing was to much trouble, the service was what you would expect in a high end London restaurant. The food was amazing, the selection of meats and vegetables were cooked to perfection and they were in plentiful supply. All four of us agreed it was the best we have ever had. If in the area give it a try. Special thanks to our waitress who was all ways on hand and so polite and helpful.

little and unassuming but so worth a visit. the food is perfectly French with the steak cooked absolutely rare and mounds of fries!! the staff are lovely and attentive with special attention paid to our 2yr old, determined to make himself known...I loved this place!!!!
