Le Petit Bois in Tameside

A lovely local French restaurant. Menu on blackboard had a choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 desserts and there were Specials too. Vegetarian options available. Small but interesting wine list and nice to be able to see down into the cellar! Staff were excellent and we all really enjoyed our evening.

Was good all round however food and service could have been better. Order the seafood platter, unfortunately nothing was cracked and became quite a messy endeavour.

JUST HAD THE MOST AMAZING CHRISTMAS DINNER. THANKYOU EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND WELCOME. THE BEST X

Finally been able to visit this little gem in mosley, had a great time there. The waitress/ owner gave us a warm welcome. From starters to deserts everything was spot on. I ordered from the new festive menu. My favourites are the French onion soup, ballotine of turkey and the cranberry crème brûlée. It was also my first time trying escargot/ snails and frogs legs both loverly. I think the images speak for themselves. Do pay them a visit.

A very pleasant evening in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and very nice food.

Delicious French food, simply cooked with excellent ingredients and executed perfectly. Lovely staff and friendly atmosphere. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer birthday lunch. Heartily recommended.

Fantastic French food! The saucing it where it's at.

An absolute must visit, the owner is lovely and food is superb. The chef is clearly very talented and the menu changes fairly often, so we have visited a few times over the last 12 months, and each time been incredibly impressed

The food was amazing, I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. Every course was perfect. However, if I could remove half a star I would, as we went for the wine pairing and felt that the glasses of wine were so tiny and felt more like a wine tasting. They definitely didn’t qualify as a glass of wine (pictures added). Overall we had a great experience though!

I'll preface this by saying I went to a pop-up/takeover event at this venue, so it's probably not the truest review of the place itself and what the resident chefs offer. That said, the venue is lovely. Very cosy, only 14 tables inside with a little bit of seating out front for nicer days. The event I attended was bookings only and I'd probably say it's best to book if you did want to visit, just to avoid any potential disappointment. It's right in the heart of Moseley so there's plenty of bars in the near vicinity and it's not too far from the city centre if you should wish to continue your night... All round a very nice place with lovely staff and service and I know they have regularly rotating menus so if that's your jam, give them a visit.

Excellent food for a very reasonable price considering the quality, presentation and execution. Great location, friendly staff.

Just adore this place. Food is always delicious and the service is brilliant. Also on my last visit they made my birthday celebration special! Can’t rate or recommend enough!

We had a fantastic meal at Le Petit Bois. Wonderful food and drinks, and excellent service as ever!

Great food, drink, service & atmosphere, we couldn't fault a thing. The food was impressive & they made every effort to apapt the menu to being gluten free for me. The pork loin was delicately cooked & delicious. The kidneys were the best I've ever eaten; so tender & tasty & not at all offal-esq. The broccoli & almonds were a real treat too, I should have ordered more. The house wines were fab. The Viognier was particularly noteable, more delicate than Côtes Du Rhône which went well with the pork. The smoked G&T set things off nicely. The food is not 100% authentic Francaise classique ( that's not a bad thing if you've ever eaten in rural France) but without a loss in quality or flavour. My friend was equally impressed with his choices & the attention to detail of the waiter. The lady in charge makes the perfect host.

The best French food we’ve had outside of France, the food was truly special and the service was amazing.

RUBBISH - AVOID !!! Went there today after booking online and paying £20 per person deposit. We went there as they advertised Oyster and Scallops. Looked really forward to it, however when we arrived we were told they had changed the menu from what what advertised on there website menu. I mean really? then how come they never called us to let us know, given they had my mobile number and email and we would have cancelled!= and not wasted our time. My wife decided we should give the a chance, so when she ordered a dish with Caviar and guess what the Chef came out and told us "Sorry, when I opened the Caviar, it was off" I mean really total rubbish, more likely they ran out. We were given a flimsy one page menu (See photo). When we left the female waitress told my wife she was in fact Hungarian and was the owner. Not surprised, nothing French about this place! Really very disappointed, and yes we should have read the reviews! Anyway, lessons learned. We will not be returning.

First time in LPB and it was superb. It's a friendly neighbourhood bistro with beautiful cooking. Although tempted to order the turbot or seafood platter in advance, we opted for the normal menu options. We had moule and scallops to start, followed by a sublime skate dish from the specials. Aside from the food, they also have a nice selection of cocktails and mocktails, and a small but carefully chosen wine list. Staff were a delight. They fully deserve their Michelin mention

Amazing food, great wine, fabulous service. Sophia, we’ll be back!!

Didn't have half the dishes I had been recommended to try frogs legs mushroom soup roasted vegetables the sprouts were damn good though

Went out for my wife’s birthday and the staff were really accommodating and made it special night. Food and wine was great!

We have been several times now to Le Petit Bois. Twice for dinner, and once for breakfast. Would recommend either! Food and service very good.

Went here for a date night and I don’t think Paris could of been better from the food to the service and especially that amazing beer on tap, we can’t get enough of it now Would 100% recommend to anyone for any occasion

Went for dinner with my family, loved the steak tartare starter, the whole experience was perfect from the service to the food and drinks. Definitely returning to try the rest of the menu.

An excellent Beaujolais Nouveau evening.

Attentive service and good food

Great food. Good sized portions of well seasoned tasteful and elegantly presented food. Great work chef and we will be returning and recommending to friends. Service was exceptional and very friendly.

First timers here last night. Fantastic place, great food/wine and lovely people. Definitely won't be our last time. See you again soon!

Brilliant little restaurant. Great atmosphere and superb food and service. We went at 5.30 On a Friday night and had the Menu du Jour. Even though we were the only people in there it didn’t feel awkward. Food was fabulous and the ambiance and music was just right. We’ll definitely be back for the Fruit de Mer!!

I visited this beautiful restaurant for my birthday with a couple of friends last night and it was AMAZING. The food was sublime, the service was perfect and the cocktails were spectacular. I can't recommend Le Petit Bois enough, go here if you want high quality, decent food, drink and service.

Delightful setting for some wonderful French inspired cuisine.

Visited for the Birmingham restaurant week special menu. Extremely good food, well cooked with great service and a great value wine pairing

Delicious and lovely restaurant! Had a fabulous tasting menu here as part of the Birmingham restaurant festival and we both had the chance to talk to the who was lovely and has such a passion for her restaurant. We will be coming here and recommending to others too!

Absolutely lovely! It was a last minute booking and I am so happy they were able to accommodate us. The food was soooo good, the atmosphere and the staff were lovely. Could not fault anything. Can’t wait to come back. X

Had the tasting menu as part of the Birmingham Restaurant Festival today and cannot recommend it enough. The food, ambiance & hosting were second to none. Looking forward to our next visit!

We’ve had the most attentive waiter and waitress I’ve ever encountered. There hospitality was beautiful this evening.food was amazing from oysters to lobster first class. Absolute gem 💎

Bonjour je vous remercie pour les excuses qui nous ont été présentées et pour le geste commercial que vous faites à nos enfants quand au repas que nous avons dégusté vos plats étaient bons sincères remerciements et salutations

Amazing food, amazing service! Can't wait to return!

Visited this evening with my mother and father in law visiting us from France. My husband is a classic French chef and I have to say I was nervous as this was our first visit. As a vegetarian I was concerned there was only 1 choice of starter and 1 main, if I didn't like it I would have had no alternative. There was no need to worry. We were greeted by 3 front of house staff all of whom were very pleasant, friendly, polite and professional. I had the vegetarian options and my husband and parents had scallops and lobster. The food was fantastic! It's extremely rare for my husband not to have a complaint because he knows good food and has high standards himself, even he loved everything and didn't have a single criticism. We enjoyed it so much we cancelled our table elsewhere next week and will dine at le petit bois instead. Thank you also for the lovely card and decorated dessert to recognise our wedding anniversary. A lovely touch.

Great French restaurant in Birmingham that is much needed. Atmosphere is good and the owners and staff are great. The menu is also very well balanced and caters for all tastes. I would recommend this for a causal evening dinner or a celebration or has the ability to cope with either. I will be returning again

Just enjoyed a lovely lunch. Generous portions and delicious food, served by a very pleasant waitress.

Lovely food and fabulous service.

Delicious, authentic French food and, as ever, great service. Lovely lunch and great value for the quality of the food and wine.

Fantastic service. Great good and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely come again.

Excellent restaurant, superb service, quality food, a good selection of drinks. Try it.

Great food and service, such lovely people, glad your back!!

I had for starter bone marrow followed by pigs cheek cassoulet. Bone marrow in my opinion was undercooked tasted very slimy not nice at all. Cassoulet very nice extremely tasty. Nice food very good staff but a very limited menu

Really wanted to try this restaurant and was not disappointed. The food wine and service was excellent from start to finish. It's a jewel in the crown of Birmingham restaurants. The only criticism i would make is that we were not advised that there was a specials menu bit the main menu made up for that

What a wonderfully welcoming French restaurant in the heart of Birmingham. The 3 course Mothers Day meal we received was exceptionally good in every aspect. The staff are friendly and warm, with excellent service from Kate our waitress. The smoked salmon was delicious and the champagne and shrimp sauce with the cod was beautifully made. As for desserts...The chocolate mousse is a must! Top marks all round from me. We will be looking forward to returning again very soon .

I was really looking forward to go there as there are not many French restaurants in Birmingham. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed and fell short of my expectations of French food: the snails were not good because of the poor seasoning, the baba au rhum is meant to be soggy, it was dry. The quality of the steak was not great either. I have to say that the bisque sauce was really tasty but the side was pretty much non-existant with only a few small diced potatoes. To top it all off, two mains, 2 starters, 2 drinks, 2 prosecco 1 dessert for nearly £100 is way too expensive for the quality offered. I will not go back despite the friendly staff.

Amazing Valentines Dinner food and service can’t recommend enough

When this was The Little Blackwood. under the same management, I had a very good, reasonably priced tasting menu meal. I recently visited again after it had reopened as Le Petit Bois and was quite disappointed. The French onion soup had the proper topping but was thin and lacking in richness. I know it's time consuming to properly caramelise the onions but for £8 I expect better. Main course was a Dover Sole to share, supposed to be in a beurre blanc, but it was more like a Birds Eye parsley sauce. It was hard to detect any flavour anyway because the whole dish was completely overwhelmed by masses of sea salt. On the plus side we had a good Rioja from a short, well priced list, and the service was friendly. I don't know how, what I understand to be the same team, can produce two meals of such different quality.

Phenomenal food, lovely setting and warm, friendly service. We love it here!

It happened as a matter of persistence. I frequented Moseley Village during last year’s restaurant pilgrimage. I walked past the space that Little Blackwood used to occupy. I really wanted to visit that finer European diner. It unfortunately closed and a cafe replaced it. That closed and Le Petit Bois slowly materialised. Who are Le Petite Bois? Given the name, roughly translating to The Little Wood, it’s no surprise they are the same people that were Little Blackwood. I chose from the Menu Du Jour. £25 buys 3 superbly crafted french dishes. Each were delivered with elegance. One of the highest quality dining experiences I have had in Birmingham. I’m going to have to spend a great deal more to get a French dining experience that is close to Le Petit Bois. I wish you every success.

I had the privilege of dining here in late December with a large group. Both the food and service were fantastic. It's a really welcoming comfortable restaurant that does exceptional food, (the moules mouclade was a stand out dish!) I'll definitely be back, and I'd recommend this to anyone visiting the Moseley/Birmingham area.

Stunning Prix Fixe early dinner, absolute bargain with full portion sizes and the excellent house wines. Highly recommended

Wonderful food ..Wonderful staff .. Will go again
