La Table D'Alix At The Plough in South Oxfordshire

Produits frais; accueil agréable, cuisine gouteuse. Un grand MERCI L'enchau fait maison excellent. Un dessert plus que sympathique.

Fantastic. We come in family nearly every weekend. We love it.

We called in for lunch today. It was superb - no other word for it! Totally recommend....

Best place for the French experience 🤩

An exceptional lunch with excellent service

A group of 5 us came to Le Table d'Alix for lunch yesterday (something we try and do as a group of old ante natal class friends every year) and once again, we had the most perfect lunch and overall experience. The weather was kind enough to enjoy drinks and delicious sourdough bread in the garden before coming into the restaurant to have lunch. Everyone's dish was just perfect from starters through to desserts - incredible flavours and presentation and all accompanied by impeccable service. Anton is the absolute perfect host and Camille clearly an amazing chef which is why we absolutely love coming here and would recommend it to anyone.

Perfect moules frites with home made bread and mayonnaise. Delicate creme fraiche sauce and no pesky grit! A really delicious supper all washed down with some chilled house white. Charming staff and great service. Thank you all very much.

I have been here a couple of times (and loved it) and had always wanted to bring my (adult) children at some point as they are both keen cooks and love trying new foods/restaurants. This finally happened a couple of weeks ago when I brought them for Sunday lunch as an early birthday celebration for my son and we had the most wonderful meal with Matt pronouncing his roast beef as the best roast he's EVER had and that's high praise as he's very particular about his roast dinners! All the food was just delicious - I had the roast chicken and I can honestly say that I have never tasted chicken like it, it had such an incredible flavour and was absolutely nothing like chicken that is served in so many other places. The roast potatoes were beautifully crispy, the side vegetables interesting and delicious and we even managed a few desserts to share which were also amazing! Service was perfect too. All in all, the children loved it as much as I do! Thank you.

Consistently outstanding and its only rivals in Oxfordshire are Le Manoir and The Nut Tree. We skipped starters and went straight into the Sunday roast beef. Slow cooked and perfectly pink all through. Boringly I had the yummy crepes suzette and I'm told the tarte tatin with clotted cream was excellent too.

Nous avons passé un agréable moment. Accueil super sympa. Menus avec produits locaux. Un seul menu pour l'instant mais irréprochable. Nous y retournerons. Nous vous le recommandons vivement. IL FAUT RÉSERVER.

No better place to be wined and dined!! Exceptional service, buzzy atmosphere and food that deserves the highest of accolades. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, or fancy popping in for a last minute treat you really won't be disappointed, and I'm fussy! Our go to. Highly recommend. Joey and Dave

Excellent place for a big family lunch to celebrate a birthday. Food is divine and beautifully presented. Service is also excellent with good attention to detail. Worth a visit.

We absolutely loved everything about our dinner. Attentive and friendly staff, smart cooking of the highest quality ingredients. And a sparkler in my dessert to wish me happy birthday. We live locally and know how lucky we are to have such a brilliant restaurant so close. Thank you all.

Excellent food in a friendly and unpretentious setting.

We were visiting the area for the weekend celebrating 50th birthday. La Table D'Alix was a salivating experience which we really enjoyed. A lovely warm welcome by the restaurant owners Antoine and their staff. Very helpful and informative on the menus and ingredients. En attendant - Freshly baked bread buns with local butter. Saucisson, a generous sliced cured meat with hazelnuts and gherkins. Tasted very nice and was good whilst the chef prepared and cooked our order. I ordered a Raspberry Cosmopolitan which was served with an orange peel lighted then served in the cocktail to release the orange zest aroma. Starters - Cheese soufflé, soft tasty and Cheesy and the accompanying sauce was delicious. Sea scallops, tender, went beautifully with the pancetta and celery micro greens. Mains - Cod, again tender soft and flaky, curry sauce not overpowering, very nice flavour. Hunters Chicken, tenderly cooked and moist with flavourful olive tapenade and basil, the kale was seasoned well and crisp. The Romanesco nicely charred. Desserts - Tarte tartin, sweet pastry with caramelised fruit. Chocolat surprise, oh my word this was soo good! A Chocolate mouse that had a praline biscuit base that resembled maltesers flavour, the mouse was gorgeous and I loved the caramelised crispy zest decorated on top which gave the dessert a hint of sweet lemons. The Staff pleasantly surprised by adding a sparkler candle to my husband's dessert and singing Happy Birthday which was really thoughtful, kind and made the occasion special. Thank you so much! :-) Wines - Upon asking the restaurant owner advice on wines, I had a glass of white wine which was light and fragrant. It accompanied the chicken very well. I also had a dessert wine which was again light, softly sweet and fragrant. We have dined at a few Mitchelin restaurants and this has been an overall very pleasant experience. The Bill was in my view very reasonable for fine dining. I liked that the owner's family participated in the dining experience and it reminded me of time spent in France dining with family and friends. Thank you.

Lovely place to go so friendly and welcoming and excellent food

We’ve just had dinner here. The food is just really excellent. Very high quality. Nice relaxed chilled informal vibe too, just the way it should be. We had beef for starter, monkfish main and cheeseboard desert. But the whole menu looked tasty.

A firm favourite of ours. A family run exquisite French restaurant. The quality of the food and the service is outstanding. Great for both lunch and dinner. Highly recommend.

Came for works dinner, food was very tasty

What a lovely restaurant, run by a great team serving excellent food

Such a shame. Was going to book once again, then read in Oxford Mail that the food hygiene score in May this year was 1! How could that be? Customers need safe hygiene above all. Later I saw the owner’s reply to this review and suggested three things regarding these very serious allegations about the ex chefs. 1. Which ‘next village’? I live in a next village. 2. Have you asked the council to come back and regrade? 3. Did you report the chefs to the police? No answer to these questions and I note the hygiene rating is still at 1, six months on.

Reading the reviews I feel as if we just were unlucky this night. We were highly recommended this quaint Restuarant so we just had to go. We sat down and were greeted in the normal manner and began to look at the menu. We both love fois gras so that was a given. Mains, little choice of what we both enjoy so chose steak and triple cooked chips with peas and ham. We looked at the wine list and went for a lovely bottle of red (£160). It was decanted in front of us and a glass was poured by the waitress. The starter came out and we both looked a little startled as a lover of fois gras it just simply looked like a pate rather that pan fried fois gras. It tasted nice but not what we expected. Steak is steak. The ham and peas were lovely but the triple cooked chips looked like Mac Donald chips that looked anemic. They were not triple cooked at all. We went on throughout the evening pouring our own wine as a waiter/waitress didn’t appear. I think this is was why we felt unhappy at the end of the day. When we went to pay my partner said we didn’t want to pay the service charge the lady shrugged and did not ask why or how can we do better etc. her reactions were not the best so my partner said….the service was disgusting. You can’t please everyone but surely when spending nearly £400 that warrants something? I did receive an email saying the waitress heard us saying the food was disgusting which is simply not true and nothing about trying to find out what was wrong with our experience. Quite strange. Perhaps another time we would give 5/5 as the reviews show but sadly not on this evening for us After receiving a reply, I am totally disgusted in the owner. You have personally attacked me. He obviously had not read the review in the tone that it was set. The arrogance from him was unfounded and offensive. Please re read the review and take ownership and treat your paying customers with respect and professionalism.

This is our absolute favourite place to eat. A fabulous environment, a friendly welcome, and amazing food to top it all off. I can not recommend this enough.

Food, table, atmosphere all 5 stars and they do a killer coffee. Not to mention the amazing food. Loved that none of the chairs matched and the table was a converted sowing machine. Service was fast and food was great 👍

Wonderful place with great team.

Best lunch we’ve had for a long time! The food was perfection with such high quality ingredients: the biggest king scallop we’ve ever seen, a beautiful beef fillet and delicious creme brûlée. They really care about providing the best service and food in a relaxed, friendly manner, which gives a wonderful experience all round. Our hostess even took our baby for a tour around the restaurant to free up our hands for eating. Highly recommend!

Exceptional food, drink and service. Lovely location and quaint restaurant.

Faultless from service to food to ambiance all 5*

I don't often post feedback but this charming restaurant deserves to be supported and visited. The food is excellent, the service is fabulous and the setting delightful. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and were really impressed by the experience and warm atmosphere. A delightful taste of France!

Really friendly place Great food

Bij toeval kwamen we terecht in het kleine dorpje Great Haseley. Gelukkig maar, want het was echt een onvergetelijke ervaring. Verrukkelijk eten, bijzonder vriendelijke bediening, een idyllische locatie; alles klopt aan dit restaurant.

After dining at this establishment multiple times, I can confidently attest that I have never had a subpar meal. The remarkable caliber of ingredients utilized in the preparations clearly translates to the impeccable end product that is served. Additionally, the level of service provided is equally exceptional, evidently embodying the fundamental components necessary for any thriving restaurant. It is evident that this establishment is operated by a dedicated family, exemplifying the epitome of excellence. Antoine and Camille, your remarkable efforts are definitely commendable and I urge you to continue the outstanding work.

My husband and I had a wonderful meal yesterday. We had the moules and frites Thursday special and it was absolutely delicious. Service was warm and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and will absolutely be returning.

Simply wonderful food, service and setting. Antoine and his team made our meal here one of the best experiences we have had on our UK trip to date. They even dropped us back at our accommodation because we couldn't get a cab! The bouillabaisse was superb, with delicious fresh fish and wonderful nuanced depth of flavour. The lamb rump also excellent. The lobster Caesar was something I've never had before, but again magnificent with generous portions of lobster. This place is a must visit and it's only an hour from London... Go before it gets a Michelin ⭐!

Throughly enjoyed meal here. Well cooked, presented well. Good choices for Gluten Free.

Expensively good. Really nice food. High quality.

I had the best Sunday roast at Lá table !! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was fenomenal. I would 100% recommend it and definitely going back.

We visited for Sunday lunch and enjoyed a wonderful meal with friendly attentive service and superlative food. Very highly recommended.

I just wanted to leave a review to express our gratitude for a magnificent post-Baptismal meal we had on the weekend. The food was as tremendous as when we have eaten there on other occasions, the area at the front worked brilliantly for our party of about 20 including young children, and everyone has told us what a fantastic time they had. Even just the little touches, like printing menus for guests without prices on, really helped to make it a special event where everyone could just relax and enjoy the food and company. Merci beaucoup!

My second review for this fabulous restaurant, because it just gets better and better. Camille has now added Normandy charm to the ambience, Lise brought a breath of fresh air to what already is a perfect dining experience, her warmth and charm was only matched by my Chateau d'Yquem. Thank you.

Had an absolutely fantastic experience dining here for my sister in law's birthday. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were so attentive. I am pregnant and the waitress took the time to explain what would be the best options for me which was above and beyond. The food was incredible and we had a lovely evening.

This restaurant is really something special a great atmosphere and really warm service. A paired back menu delivered to perfection. Can recommend the champagne cocktails and they offer just about the best cheese trolley around!

A good place to go with great food a favorite place to go

Came for my father's birthday. The service was exceptional, everyone was so friendly and jovial. The food was at another level, I had a beef Wellington which was so tender I am still thinking about it now. I can't recommend this place enough.

Five Star! The most enjoyable and delectable dining experience in ages! We drove over from Windsor and had the most incredible evening. The atmosphere is truly delightful and the food absolutely divine! The foie gras is a 'must have' and a fine wine list to compliment. Antoine and his team offer top quality dining and service in a beautiful and relaxed setting. Highly recommended!

Fabulous food, very friendly and relaxed service; thoroughly enjoyed our lunch

Had the nicest dessert I've ever had here the other day The rest of my meal was also superb It's a fantastic restaurant and the staff are super friendly, professional and relaxed

Great menu, delicious food and such friendly service. Wonderful to go to a restaurant with such a relaxed atmosphere. We will return again and again and…….

The best Sunday lunch by far and wonderful hosts.

Food is consistently excellent with a well-chosen wine list. The owners work very hard and the service is warm and professional. They're hugely flexible for families - last time we went we called on spec in the morning and they were happy to accommodate our little boy and newborn. Put simply, we've never had a bad experience here and it's our favourite local place to eat. If I lived in the village I'd eat all my meals there!

Every molecule was perfection. We had dinner for 6 and it was fantastic.

Very nice but pricey for what we had

We had a birthday lunch there for eight people. It was absolutely splendid . Great menu delicious food. Friendly service by the host and hostess. Could not wish for anything better. We shall be back

I attended the wonderful Table d’Alix earlier this month for a family celebration. I have to be strictly Gluten Free. As there was no printed acknowledgment of this on their menu I contacted them via email. I received immediate assurances they would assist me on the night. Still a little worried because I did not wish for extra attention during the family gathering, I phoned the restaurant and made a request of dishes I was interested in asking if they could be adapted for me. Again many assurances were given. On the evening itself I was cheerfully accommodated in the most professional and smooth manner. The food was sublime and the service excellent. Despite having made earlier choices I was told if I changed my mind they would be happy to oblige. Nothing was too much trouble and they certainly gave us all a memorable evening. Thank you to all! I cannot recommend enough!

Had dinner here a few weeks ago. Well worth a visit.

Very kind and helpful service, even for drinks and nibbles in the garden , thank you!

Lovely welcome from this French family and happy staff members, we only dropped by for a quick cuppa but stayed all afternoon and ended up eating dinner.The beef was so tender and delicious.Will definitely return.Bravo 👏 Cutest baby too 👶

Magnifique! We had a great time, the food is amazing. The owners are a lovely couple , so cheerful. Will definitely go back !

The best restaurant ever. Everything is worth it. From the talented team to the incredible food. A must to go to.

Stunning restaurant with incredible food and staff, always look forward to having a wonderful meal here.

Superb food and wonderful staff. Very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Utterly obsessed with this place. Food is incredible and the owners are lovely.

Incredible food, attentive service, and a lovely atmosphere.

Magnifique!! I have wanted to try here for a while and luckily, my girlfriend treated me to dinner for my birthday. Wonderful, authentic French food and service. Dinner was amazing with absolutely no need to use the seasoning provided on the table. The cheese selection to finish was exemplary. Not cheap but for a special meal, I highly recommended.

Fabulous Sunday lunch. The food delicious, the team so wonderfully accommodating. Thank you x

One of our favourites, the food is always sublime, excellent service and above all else friendly, welcoming hosts. We will be back again and again. And again.

Christmas Eve dinner. A wonderful festive set menu, exquisitely presented. Quality ingredients, expectedly prepared. Very very well done 👏🏽

Amazing find, very friendly hosts and staff. Relaxed atmosphere with french cuisine I recommend this restaurant.

Amazing local gem. One of the best dinners we've had in a while! perfection down to every little detail: cosy & tasteful decor, warm fresh bread, heavenly food... we had a great evening there and will definitely be back for desserts. A little pricey but totally worth it.

Food was delicious, service was very warm, friendly and very helpful with the choice of meals. We definitely will be back for more delicious food.

We were considering booking a table here, given the rave reviews of the food. However, having seen the way the owner, Antoine, replies to reviews he doesn't like (here and on TripAdvisor, for example), we certainly won't be giving him our custom, no matter how good the food is. If you are unable to accept that your customers can have a bad experience, then you don't respect your customers, but then the wholly inappropriate, personal remarks he has made in these replies take this to a whole other dimension. Appalling!

Absolutely charming restaurant. Lovely hosts and great service. Food was most excellent.

Delicious meal and brilliant service.

Great place , great food friendly staff, great atmosphere, definitely will return

We found this place by chance and had the most wonderful experience. Not only was the food fabulous, they were so friendly and accommodating for her little 1 year old granddaughter. The food is good French cooking and we had excellent lobster salad, beef tartare and foie gras. The bread was also excellent. Highly recommend

We were fortunate to have been given a voucher for this special place for our 25th wedding anniversary. Due to Covid we have waited a year and a day to enjoy. The food was excellent and the service was efficient and wonderfully friendly. Special mention goes to the Burrata and the Bouillabaisse. Both excellent. I haven't tasted dishes as good in a long while. To cap the evening the cost of the meal exceeded the voucher value but our credit card was waived away. A kind gesture and not something that you expect in this age. Thank you. A very special evening and we will definitely be back.

AMAZING !!! Beautiful family with amazing food Perfect combination

Found that place completely by accident but so glad I did. One of the best main meals and desserts I've ever had; up there with l'enclume - seriously. And such a wonderfully relaxed and warm venue. Brilliant place.

Went to the Moules night last night our first visit. Wonderful location exceptional staff and superb food. So pleased to have found this wonderful gem.

My family had a brilliant 60th birthday celebratory meal here last week. The food and service were both brilliant. Thank you very much. We look forward to returning soon.

Well its the first time we have been to this very french restaurant since they moved from The Swan at Tetsworth & what a Delight it was, 4 of us in the garden on a lovely evening & The Food was to Die for!! Memories of Very Fine Dining in France came flooding back to Us. Empty Plates & Much Praise All Round. The Owners & their Wonderful Staff are doing Simply Fabulous Job So believe Me pay this place a visit, You will not be dissapointed & will most certainly Return time & time again. Well done The Plough. 10/10.

Great food, good service. A little expensive but well worth a visit.

Lovely place in beautiful surroundings with great food but not cheap!

Excellent service and excellent food very highly recommended

Lovely food and great ambiance. The owners are amazing hosts who really make you feel that they are welcoming you into their home for a meal

Very poor service, booked a table just for drinks ( no food ) was told they would accommodate us , Don't class one drink & 50 minutes later, being asked to leave , accommodating , shame on you, meant to be a VILLAGE PUB !

What a treat!!! Everything brilliant....knee rugs cos its chilly eating in a marquee, delicious food (too distracted to take a pic), brilliant service, beautiful setting.... can't wait to return 😊

Very nice garden to have a drink or food

Better than ever! A huge choice of mouthwateringly good food served in a picture perfect setting. Cannot recommend more highly 10* !

Awesome food, great hosts and a wonderful location.

Our daughters arranged this for our lockdown 40th wedding anniversary celebration. The food was delicious so well prepared and excellent service. Couldn't have wished for a more fantastic present

Excellent food. Excellent service. Now with real beer too.

Really nicely done. My first turkey main of 2020. And we met Alix.

If you are anywhere in the area you should book a visit. The food is excellent.

Delicious food! (Halibut). Super friendly owners. Covid safe and quaint town. Worth the drive from Oxford with the kids!

Great food and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Changed a bit since I was last here. Worth a visit, a rare find!

Superb food and service, priced for those who can afford it

Lovely environment, tasty dishes

Food reasonable. But service abysmal. Plus 12.5% service charge.
