Le Mistral in Nottingham

Went on a Thursday night for moules frites and could not fault the food or service, would highly recommend and will be back very soon!

Great food, great service - Eve and Karolina were excellent and the ambience was lovely. Fairly reasonably priced for an independent restaurant serving the food they do. Always have a large specials board too!

We have the best time ever whit Eva and Eliza We definitely can come back 😊😊 they have a lot of knowledge about the French cuisine which it was fantastic satisfying

We’ve been going here for years, this visit was just not as good sadly. Still a lovely ambience and service was good. The menu choice was still good but the food quality and portion size has slipped. The burger used to be fabulous, this time it was very small, still nice but it’s always been indulgent and had the wow factor, it was just an ok burger this time! The fries were not good, they are frozen, sure they used to be home cooked and they weren’t hot enough or cooked well enough and the portion size was small. Unfortunately when standards slip, ratings do, I really hope this was just a blip!

Took my wife for her birthday. Our first visit. We had lunch. Starters whitebait & pate. White was amazing. Never had such crispy whitebait, no head or tails. Beautiful aioli. Main course beef bourguignon & chicken bordelaise, both delicious. Sweets crème brûlée and apple flan. Both delicious. All washed down with a lovely bottle of Viognier. Great value food and service. Highly recommended will definitely be going again.

Just had an amazing lunch...all excellent, would definitely recommend.

Four of us had a wonderful meal at Le Mistral last Wed (30th Oct 2024). The service, the atmosphere and above all, the food were excellent. We eat here on a regular basis and have always enjoyed a fantastic experience! Just about to book another table!

This is a MUST if you're in the area! The food was fantastic, it's a cozy little place, the food smells are amazing and everything we had was incredible. The Porc Boulangere was so tasty, French Onion soup - yummy also! We highly recommend!

Great place reasonably priced lovely food and staff would highly recommend this place

Food pretty average on he new menu . The waiter was awesome ,the manager not so . Best thing was the polite waiter food average menu ,seems a little bit downhill to me . I think you should promote the waiter to manager and you might see some changes .

Always a lovely experience, whether for an informal meal during the week or a special occasion. Food, service and atmosphere are excellent and they always try to accommodate if you haven't booked in advance. The bouillabaisse is not to be missed!

Wonderful tasting food With a great ambience.

In the post covid world, it is so hard to find great service. Le Mistral nails it every time. Thank you.

For a good French meal at reasonable price you can’t beat this well established restaurant in Sherwood. I always enjoy my visits here. The portions are good size, well presented with quick and efficient service. My meal this evening was coq au vin at £15.95. It’s always best to book as it can be busy especially at the weekends. The service good, the space is comfortable with nice atmosphere when busy. I shall definitely return.

We booked this restaurant for my wife's birthday against my wishes as wasn't happy last time I was here with friends,with out fail they ruined the reservation again ,.attitude towards pre order people arriving from all over UK some in between flights, being told no pre order no seating for that person then big time change from our reservation, it was a one horse place attitude last time I was here and nothing changed before we put our foot through the door, I over heard the level of conversation towards my wife from "the manger".well iam very glad you don't manage my business with that level of attitude ,with that one call to the Polish across the road big warm welcome and looking forward to seeing us yet again,all home cooked fresh food no pre orders

Very tasty food and good wine selection.

Found this place by accident, had lunch there and I can't fault it...

Absolutely love this place, cozy atmosphere and really quality food and drink. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Respond quickly to booking requests and always try to be accommodating with special requests.

Went to eat here on the 11th Sept,my wife ordered the chicken burger,to be fair she said it was nice,I ordered a rib eye steak,what arrived was a lump of brown gristle and fat,after I cut all that off I was left with a mouthful of very poor quality meat as tough as old boots,it was awful,whoever your supplier is I would have a quiet word or buy in Irish beef,I have never been asked to pay for such rubbish,but your chef must know this also,what is going on in his head to dish this up to customer,it was not fit to feed to a dog,in fact my dog would not have eaten it,I gave you two stars because the young girl serving was very nice and pleasant.The red house wine burned my wife’s lips it was so acidic,a total waste of time and money.Sorry I won’t be back,I only get my fingers burned once.

Excellent foor and atmosphere. Great choice of meals and good vegetarian choices. Waitress Amelia was superb. Highly recommended

Had a beautiful meal, in a lovely restaurant. Waitress, Amelia, was lovely and attentive. Enjoyed it so much we have booked for tomorrow.

We've been here three times in the past month and every occasion has been enjoyable. The staff are friendly, the restaurant is intimate and traditionally decorated and the menu is varied and consistently excellent. There's plenty more on the menu that we will be making return trips for!

My mother in law took me and my husband here for lunch and it was such a treat! All of the food was perfectly cooked and delicious. The two course special is incredible value and the food quality is exceptional. We had whitebait which were perfect, followed by an absolutely delicious cow au vin and finished with the apple Tarte which was really special. The service was ridiculously good - the gentleman that served us (maybe the owner) was so kind and could see that one of our party was a bit slow eating and really gave us space and time so no-one was feeling rushed or self conscious. This is truly a rare and very appreciated service which was above and beyond. Thanks for making it a really special and comfortable memory for us. Thanks again le mistral!

Had the Sunday Roast with my wife and daughter and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. It came with a good selection of vegetables and was cooked beautifully. The service was also exemplary. We have been before and we will certainly go back the next time we visit Sherwood.

Excellent food excellent fast efficient service . High quality of both of those things mixed with a great atmosphere. You cannot go wrong .

What a wonderful bijou french restaurant in the heart of Sherwood. I had heard of the place but had never been before so I was more surprised that it was listed as good Sunday lunch place. I've very glad we trusted that as the food was delicious. I had the crispy belly pork which very much satisfied my need for Sunday lunch while the other dish and puddings were excellent too.

I had a great experience here in 2019 and thought I would come back all the time as so delicious. 2024 I’m back again… ordered the coq au vin which is advertised as comprising chicken legs… which are large, tender and juicy and the cut of choice for traditional French recipes. In reality I was served three very tough chicken drumsticks. Very disappointing as I cooked much better coq au vin from scratch using a bbc recipe a few years ago and the chicken was so tough. I thought I had found a good value for money meal but really it was not great and I would not come back for this dish. Nothing special at all.

Lovely food and lovely service . But the poor staff had to concentrate more on the takeaway orders that was being served up right infront of us . Restaurant was empty but we didn't feel like we got the attention you should get when out for a meal . . No more a Restaurant sadly more like a takeaway 😢

We decided to go here to celebrate my partner's graduation and we are so glad we did. This restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and was very cosy. Service was great and the food was even better. I had the mussels and it was some of the best I've had! There were no closed or empty shells served, so i didn't have to go through and discard any, which honestly I have had to do at every other restaurant I have ordered mussels at. It may seem like a small thing but it made a big difference! The portion size was also perfect. I enjoyed a French rosé here too which was delicious and everyone else seemed to really enjoy their food too. Overall I really recommend!!

Really nice place on a Sunday afternoon when we visited. Food, service and atmosphere all great. An asset to Sherwood.

5 of us came for Sunday lunch and three of us chose the Sunday roast the others were able to choose off the main menu. The food was plentiful and tasty. The place was cosy and friendly and service was good. We will certainly come again.

Fab unplanned visit Excellent food and service Saturday night treat Good wine too Recommend Nice loos too!!! Try it for yourself

We came here for my birthday meal and we had a great meal. Adam the chap that served us was very helpful and couldn’t have done enough for us. The food was great and the kids portions were good sizes too.

This was an exceptional night. We went when they had a huge party in but the service was great still and our food was prompt and DELICIOUS. This isn’t the first time we have been because of the quality, and we were not disappointed at all.

Great steak, really good flavours and fantastic service, would highly recommend. Nice small restaurant with good selection of drinks.

Lovely meal on a Sunday lunchtime, beef bourguignon was delicious and staff were very friendly with speedy service but didn't feel rushed. Will be returning!

Excellent flat white and very tasty food.

What a brilliant restaurant!the food was lovely.the ambiance was great and we had a great server(adam)who worked non stop and made every customer feel special and welcome ……will def be back.

French restaurant, good food, house wine good. On Wednesday, we specialize in mussel dishes, which are delicious.

Le Mistral never fails to deliver. Absolutely smashes it!!

Went for an early lunch before a concert in town. Great service, delicious fresh food and a great ambience. Love this place.

Good food in relaxed atmosphere. Felt as if we were on holiday abroad...difficult to describe ...just lovely Staff and service excellent.

Excellent meal at Le Mistral as always. This is a firm favourite for a relaxing, high quality meal in a comfortable environment. Very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly service from Oliver. Thank you.

The first time I had the fixed price lunch here. Had a phone call to check I was still attending. We were early but it was not a problem, the food was lovely and tasty. Service was great and very attentive. Lots to choose from on the menu. Quite a mix of folks arriving, but still plenty of tables free. I would like to go again in the evening next time.

Très bon restaurant avec de superbes bon plats, produits frais et légumesde saisons, très bon accueil, très attentif à nos besoins.

Great food and service. Good choice in menu with daily specials. We had the mussels as it was Thursday with a glass of the wine of the week. Lovely 😊

Beautiful Thankyou Frankie and Oliver! Great food great service great ambiance . Only one waitress working but she worked very hard and did her job well Thankyou very much

First time but won’t be the last, its excellent superb food , excellent service. Very Professional staff just the two of them. Best fresh food in Nottingham great atmosphere and full on a Tuesday night . Days a lot to me. Reccommend it . Come by bus 58 or any Arnold Bus. Good parking space availability. Have to say better than Bistrot Pierre in The city . Thanks to the waitress and Waiter and chefs .

Le Mistral is completely unique. A really gorgeous pared back little treasure of a place. I love the informality and the look and feel. The service is always so great, attentive, warm and professional. Onto the food. Amazing. Never fails to be incredible. It’s rich (but not heavy) full of flavour with layers of different tastes. In my opinion it’s the best Sunday roast lunch around. Such a thoughtful combination of flavours. My only gripe this time was a very large family party (the whole length of the restaurant, maybe 16 people), who were understandably noisy. You’re allowed to have a good time celebrating, but this didn’t bode well for a civilised Sunday lunch. It was hard to hear ourselves talk. I can see why local independent businesses are not going to turn away business. And this absolutely won’t deter me from returning again and again. I just might check before if there are any large groups in ..

Always great food at Le Mistral! Sadly today’s delivery order of roast dinner was mixed up with another order and we got beef instead of pork. It was delicious but not what we ordered. Adam at the restaurant was very apologetic and dealt with the issue perfectly. These things happen and it won’t put us off ordering/visiting again

Amazing food, always make sure you book! Love a local date night here. Never too much or too little, great atmosphere and lovely calm French music on in the background.

We were able to book the same day for a time within 30 mins of our ideal time. The food & service were both exemplary and they catered very well for a gluten-free guest - even to the point of having gluten-free bread in stock.

Relaxed atmosphere, delicious food and attentive but not overbearing service. Been a few times and enjoyed every occasion.

Wow wow wow best soup ever had! We come here often for dinner and you have to pre book as everyone knows it's one of the best places to eat in the area but the lunchtime is a little easier to just drop in and has beautiful specials and french music playing. I have never been disappointed eating here it is a magical experience 😁

We had a fabulous time here tonight with the most delicious food. Adam was incredible, very personable and was chatting & laughing the night away with us. Wonderful personality. He made our night very special for my 27th Birthday meal with my partner. Joanna was the chef and the food was so fresh, flavourful and so well presented. You will not be disappointed in any aspect by a visit here for a casual meal or a special event. Thank so much to everyone involved. We will be making this a spot to keep coming back to for many events to come. You will not regret coming here for a date night or a family meal!

The food and wine were divine! Credit to Joanna the chef. This is probably the best French restaurant I have been to in Nottingham. Adam (the gentleman who served us) matched our energy brilliantly with brilliant and truthful tips. If you are looking for a personable, high level, quirky meal with incredible food, service and ambience. Le mistral sherwood is one to try.

Le Mistral è un ristorante molto bello ed accogliente, si mangia benissimo lo consiglio vivamente. Grazie mille per l'accoglienza a presto Gioia Santarelli

Lovely atmosphere, great staff and some great vegan options. The lentil wellington was outstanding.

Really tasty food, nice cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and fast service, in a convenient location. Hope to go again soon.

My partner and I have been here a couple of times and one thing we always mention is the service. The service is impeccable! They are so friendly and the service is also quick. The food is delicious, we had the beef bourbignon and linguine. Was absolutely beautiful! Definitely one of the best restaurants in Nottingham! You won’t be disappointed

As perfect as always. great food and very friendly staff. We have been coming here for over 10 years and it just gets better each time.

Great service service and food from Frankie and Adam thanks! Very attentive and Frankie worked very hard serving the whole restaurant efficiently and politely.

Beautifully cooked Sunday lunch for two, 1 vegetarian, 1 meat, could not fault this meal. Friendly staff who all seemed to be happy and enjoying working there.. top marks.

Great food and atmosphere. Very friendly staff who made us feel welcome. The set menu is very good value for money; strongly recommend the boeuf bourgignon!

Treated a friend to her birthday. I’d been before at Christmas time so I knew it was good, but they’ve got even better. Our food was absolutely delicious. Try the special garlic bread with olives! Small restaurant so you need to book. Nice to get a good meal away from the chains.

absolutely recommendable for a good culinary experience

Nice restaurant, delicious food. Recommended the le mistrail garlic bread. Quick and efficient service, will come again.

Nice food, very attentive staff and great value for money! I recommend this restaurant to everyone because it is one of the best in Nottingham

Gorgeous food, lovely warm atmosphere and most importantly it always is. Never had a meal that wasn’t exceptional here - it’s the yearly anniversary level of experience - and we always will as long as it’s here.

We come here every year for our anniversary- it never disappoints ! Beautiful food Lovely warm staff Welcoming atmosphere Please don’t ever take the pork and dauphinoise off of the menu- we’re on a 6 year steak and our anniversary will never be the same if it isn’t available of our ‘another year’ meal 😂♥️

Brilliant food,service and price(lunch time deal.Just really let down by the toilet that needs a deep clean.

mussels night was fantastic. lovely atmosphere and food. crepes wer out of this world! Good value for money. Will definitely recommend.

Booked a table for dinner on Sunday 3rd March.. We have been there many times before and although some of the staff have changed, it was still as wonderful as ever. Good food and great service. Was served by Elza (mostly) and Oliver and they were brilliant-friendly and pleasant. Not forgetting Marta who never fails to cook a good dish. If you are ever in the area, book a table and enjoy the experience. Mike & Jacqui

Amazing restaurant! Staff are friendly and efficient. Food on the menu is tasty, authentic, and reasonably priced. Great specials available with well selected wine options. This is a firm local favourite. Highly recommend for dinner/lunch with a group or as a couple. Excellent experience all round.

Always a beautiful experience and lovely food, one of my favourite restaurants in Nottingham. The mussels are always top tier, and the staff will make the main a sharing starter if you ask nicely!

First time visiting this evening, food absolutely beautiful. Staff very accommodating, polite and friendly. We will definitely be back.

This place is amazing. The staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable. The atmosphere is cosy and the food is superlative. Worth every penny, and at that it's incredibly priced too! Fully deserves the #1 spot. Thanks Oli, Felipe and the team.

I love this place, I've been several times and it's constantly good. Fantastic service & great food. They are very accommodating if it's a special occasion too.

Absolutely beautiful, great location, wonderful food, perfectly cooked, amazing atmosphere and caring staff. Very impressed!!
