Madaliene Hereford in Herefordshire, County of

My wife and I found La Madeleine whilst having a wander around Herford. The place is an unassuming bistro on Church Street that served a very pleasant lunch, we went for the homemade quiche that came with salad and herbie potatoes, which proved to be very tasty. The service was polite, efficient and friendly. The establishment has a wonderful courtyard garden. All in all a great place to eat when visiting Hereford.

Sunny day so decided to sit outside in the enclosed garden, very good small menu choice which was most enjoyable with very quick and friendly service from the staff, a winner all day long.

This is an exceptionally consistent restaurant. The quiches are always so good and the specials never fail to impress. The wine selection is good and above all the atmosphere and service are top-notch. The mushrooms on toast are a firm favorite. Can't wait to return

Group of six including young children, seated in the lovely courtyard garden. Service was exceptional and the food absolutely wonderful. Earthy flavours and natural ingredients cooked to perfection.

My sister and I came here and enjoyed a delicious lunch recently. My sister chose the crustless quiche with salads and I chose the regular quiche. Both utterly scrumptious. The coffee afterwards was excellent too. The staff are always superb and attentive. I booked a table due to the fact that this little restaurant is very popular with lunchtime diners.

My wife and I went to La Madeleine's for Valentines evening meal and it was absolutely perfect. We had sharing dishes of baked camembert to start , a trio of beef for main and chocolate fondant for dessert. A very good bottle of wine and...

Called in for a coffee and cake ,not much variety to choose from and quite expensive ,nice little courtyard seating .

This was my first time here, but the wife, and sister in law have been here a few times. I can now see why, lovely quite feeling about the place, and the food was very well prepared and presented. We both had the prawn sandwichs...

A lovely place to visit for morning coffee, lunch or evening dinner. I met a friend this morning and due to the restaurant being popular- lots of tables already reserved for lunchtime bookings so we sat outside for our coffee and treats. The staff are...

La Madeleine has always been one of my favourite places to eat in Hereford due to its unique nature. I always recommend it and bring my friends and family here. When my friend organised my baby shower lunch I opted to go here. We had...

Beautiful atmosphere with glowing lights and the back drop of picturesque church street ( Herefords most pretty!). Our group of 8 had a warm welcome and prompt service from our super friendly waitress for the evening. We were all really impressed with the food, especially...

Visited here with family. Very nice food in a pleasant garden area. Service and prices good. Would warmly recommend.

We stopped in very shortly before closing time and they kindly agreed to serve us. We had tea and cake. The place was comfortable and friendly and the ladies loo was decorated with interesting historic artefacts to do with lacemaking! It was very welcome as...

I stopped today with my wife for a quick coffee and on the counter whas very interesting green cake. Apparently gluten-free spinach cake. As I'm chef I know how difficult is to do gluten-free cake with good texture mazing flavours and look fantastic. OH MY...

So nice to be able to sit outside on a chilly but sunny morning at the end of October in La Madeleine's sheltered and pretty courtyard garden. Enjoyed delicious coffee and soaked up the sunshine. Cushions and throws add the the comfort. One of my...

Excellent coffee ,so much nicer than your big chain coffee shops,best almond croissant I've tasted ,well worth a visit if you're in Hereford

The white wine arrived luke-warm, and the puree that came with the cod loin was also not warm. My coq au vin was superb--incredibly moist chicken with a huge portion, sauteed potatoes perfect. My partner's cod loin, with the luke-warm puree, was a ridiculous 18...

We stumbled across this little restaurant, however we had a wheel chair as we were taking our mum to lunch, very difficult to enter and table not suitable for wheelchairs, however we tried to make her comfortable and ordered lunch. We had gluten free option...

Absolutely brilliant. Lovely food, (we must do an evening) great staff and fabulous ambience(the wines must not be forgotten). We must support our independents!!

Stumbled across this little gem wile in town. Cute french cafe with the most delicious tea and coffee. A must visit for any tea lover.

After being ignored at SensoryandRye I came here. It worked out for the best. Delicious coffee and Avocado and halloumi on sough dough bread. Perfect

We were visiting Hereford and surrounding areas celebrating our Wedding Anniversary. We stopped here for dinner and the food was delicious service was great and would absolutely recommend and visit again. The pate with chutney I had for my starter was sooo delightful I seriously...

As usual Absolutely excellent It does not seem to matter what you have at this place It is excellent.

100 metres from the cathedral in the pedestrian street. Very tasty food and wine. Had salmon and chicken as main course. Mushrooms and white bait as starters. All very tasty. Good service. Non pretentious. There is garden as well at the back

Lovely relaxed French chic decor, good service, lovely outside patio area at the back. We had morning coffee & croissants - good strong but not bitter European coffee. Returned for relaxed genteel afternoon tea & cake, lovely potted Earl Grey in decorated porcelain cups &...

Lovely atmosphere for lunch with inside and outside tables and simply local produce menu at reasonable prices

Having been disappointed by the approach of another establishment locally we found our way to La Madeleine and were very pleasantly surprised. Lovely garden at the back, good coffee, nice food and very pleasant staff...well worth a visit.

We had lunch today for the first time at this small centrally located restaurant, we ate outrag in the courtyard garden, which was very pleasant. The food was of a good standard and the staff friendly, though it did take awhile for someone to take...

A second visit; even better than before; excellent, tasty lunch; pleasant outside; attentive staff; good coffee; reasonable prices

This is pretty good French country food, in a pleasant setting. The outside seating is especially nice, in good weather. The set price menu has four entrees, a couple of starters, and a couple of desserts. The pate starter was very good indeed, as was...

Lovely place to enjoy a coffee or hot chocolate with breakfast!! Nice garden if you get there early enough to enjoy the English sun!! Visit every summer!

after a very fraught day we needed a treat so we called here for dinner. The food and wine were excellent, as was the service. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed a super lunch here today. Friendly service, wonderful food and such a pretty garden. And all in the centre of Hereford. Hope to visit again soon

It is always a pleasure to drink coffee here. Especially with this beautiful weather in the attractive garden the coffee is excellent and a large assortment of cakes. The price and service is excellent.

We ate two salad dishes. One green salad which included lots of delicious vegetables with a cheese dressing was superb. The other was a Vietnamese spicy chicken salad. Excellent flavour but there was too much crunchy white cabbage. Sat in a lovely garden at the...

We’re welcomed in and sat in the window. Seated and offered drinks very quickly with a good selection to choose from. Fixed menu is very good value. Ordered the soup and egg with asparagus for starters which were both so delicious we could have ordered...

So good we went for dinner two nights running on a recent visit to Hereford, The menu is fairly simple and changes monthly but has a good choice but goodness, Ed the Chef knows food - he loves it and this shows in his cooking...

We were the first arrivals on what turned out to be a busy, full to capacity Saturday evening, but even as the restaurant began to fill up, service was pleasant, efficient and attentive, but at no point intrusive. The menu is short, always a good...

It’s been a little while since I dined at la Madeleine, it’s changed hands during the last 6 months also. I need not have worried because everything was just as great as it had been on my previous visits, even the sweet waitress was an...

The customer service was great, we were made to feel welcome as soon as we came in through the door. There’s a lovely courtyard garden at the back, and if the sun is shining, it’s a must to sit out there. We ordered 2 x...

Wednesday evening in Hereford and we walked past La Madeleine near the Cathedral. The menu looked nice (even though there is a small number of options) and we enjoyed our dinner. Charming staff, nice ambiance, cool music, reasonably priced wines and tasty food. Would certainly...

Very nice table with an early 11.30 am Friday solo lunch of the special quiche. Amazing as usual !! Thanks so much

There were four of us for an evening meal - a favourite of our guests. Although the menu was not especially French, I remember a very nice mint and pea soup, followed by pink and well flavoured featherblade stakes and finally a delightful brownie with...

Lovely to be able to eat top class food & be able to take our dog with us. We all got a warm welcome.

Stumbled upon this busy lovely cafe, a table outside was found quickly in a pretty walled garden. Service was prompt, efficient and all done with welcoming smiles. The food was very good and I can recommend (if it’s on)the crust less quiche with broccoli and...

This has to be one of Hereford’s finest gems if you are looking for a place to wind down, sip a lovely drink or indulge in beautiful cakes, lunch or dinner. Charming staff and a hidden quiet garden at the back lovely on a sunny...

We visited this lovely little restaurant (28 covers?) to celebrate my wife's birthday. The ambiance is cosy and welcoming and the waitress was extremely personable, helpful and efficient, without being at all pushy. I had the blade steak and have to say that it was...

This place changed hands quite recently, and some of the old reviews are still on here, so do check the more recent ones! We had a big family dinner for 14 on 4th April 2018 and we’re very pleased. The evening menu is small, but...

We were visiting Hereford for the weekend and had a lot of meals booked up in the area, including La Madeleine. We were hoping for a light, tasty lunch and it didn't disappoint. Really lovely food and will hopefully come back for dinner next time.

Visited here for a solo lunch/late breakfast. Had the Croque Madeleine which was very good (extremely cheesy... if you like cheese, it’s definitely for you). Had a coconut mocha as well, which was excellent, and a slice of their Sunshine cake (orange cake with orange...

First time for dinner But must say Excellent service Fantastic food A f great prices £80 for two people to have three courses was excellent You would pay that at one of the “boil in the bag outlets” Will be visiting again soon

The food was good quality and very tasty. We weren't rushed but staff were attentive. The featherblade steak my husband had was amazing and my cod was equally delicious. They use high quality ingredients, but the prices are still reasonable. Nice decor and good atmosphere....

Very welcome sign outside welcoming dogs. Excellent coffee and brilliant coffee and walnut cake at very reasonable prices.

A lovely little restaurant with attentive and friendly staff . Sat out in the garden which was very old worldy -i loved it. I will be returning for a meal rather than a snack.

Our favourite place to eat, food is always of the best quality, staff very friendly and a great buzzing atmosphere. A really lovely treat to round of our week.

The sign said "Dogs and well behaved owners welcome" so puppy took a look to see if her owners were well behaved enough - apparently yes. They had a delicious Croque Madelaine & smashed avocado and haloumi on sourdough toast while puppy made loads of...

Very nice lunch with bubbles! the homemade quiches were delightful and lovely salads, only disappointment was a lack fo puddings, only cake on offer that day, but other than that it was ovely, good service, nice atmosphere- definately go again

A limited menu, but the food was very good and reasonably priced. I had a steak and it was one of the best I have had for some time. The staff were very friendly and helpful, excellent service. Recommended!

Booked an afternoon tea for a friend’s birthday. Waiting staff were very helpful and the tea was lovely. The chocolate brownie was the best cake I’ve ever tasted. The carrot cake was very moist, the chutney in the cheese sandwiches was clearly homemade. Also excellent...

So impressed with our evening at this lovely little bistro. Beautiful setting and relaxed friendly environment. Food was of a very high standard but without the price tag and the snobbery! Catered wonderfully for all our party aged 9 to 78. A fantastic evening and...

Six of us enjoyed superb meals here on Saturday night. Great service. Great cooking. We found it good value for the high standard of cuisine. All three courses were delicious. We will definitely return and look forward to it.

My girlfriends and I booked afternoon tea as a Christmas get together, but due to snow had to change till early January. The staff at LeMadeleine were very accommodating and we met as planned to a wonderful selection of sandwiches, cakes, scones and pastries. I...

We were recommended this eating place for a good coffee,after arriving and watching dishes being presented to customers we all chose different foods.Everything was amazing down to presentation and taste.The waiting staff were very knowledgeable and pleasant ,also the pricing was very reasonable.

The bistro is quaint with a gorgeous little garden area (perfect for warm weather). The menu isn't too large but the choice is enough to get your mouth watering. Staff are incredibly welcoming and the food is beyond brilliant. Don't let its rustic look put...

Hereford may have many places to eat but there are not many I would wish to eat so visited here for lunch having perused reviews. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her salmon quiche with good salad and I had a filling turkey and ham sandwich which...

Church Street - not a chain store in sight - is an absolute delight, for shoppers and hungry people alike. We used to have lunch in The Lichfield Vaults (not bad at all, even though the surroundings/décor are a bit Spartan) but then we discovered...

This is where the ente cordial really does reside ' Having visited La Madeleine Prior to the change of ownership it always embraced it's French Mantra 'and being a Francophile ,the cuisine of France has always been my favourite , So my first visit for...

First visit Won’t be last Outstanding food And just as important great service Without doubt going to be my new favourite lunch venue in Hereford

Wow!! What can i say. La Madeleine is a well worth a visit. Having recently eaten there with a friend the food was outstanding. The venison was delicious. I will be eating there again!!

Simple menu delivering excellent food with brilliant service at sensible prices. The room is very welcoming and warm.

Beautiful, cosy and welcoming, La Madeline was really a treat. I had the venison and my sister had the mushroom vegetarian option and both of us were very, very impressed. The food felt as if it had been made with care and with love and...

I have been here many times for coffee and cakes but yesterday we had lunch. It was great. We both had the steak sandwich , which was delicious, the steak was cooked to perfection, served on sourdough with chips and salad garnish. We also had...

My wife and I scoured Hereford for a nice looking restaurant and came across this place by chance. They managed to squeeze us in for an early meal and were soon full. There is not a massive choice of dishes but enough for us and...

Had at absolutely fabulous evening for our wedding anniversary. The champagne was the best I have had in a long time (even nicer then a bottle of bolly). The food was beautiful presented, fresh and tasty. We had smoked duck breast with lovely chutney, pickles,...

We wandered in off the street quite early in the evening and were lucky to get a table in this stylish little restaurant. The service was excellent, the wine was just the right temperature and matched the Hereford beef steaks perfectly. We ordered 'blue' steaks...

Had to wait 20mins for a drink after being seated for dinner. The pate starter was ok but I ordered the mussels and it was awful. Soggy bread at the bottom of a cold broth with hard carrots and 8 small mussels. Was not worth...

Took my Nan here for a trip out and bite to eat. She has always wanted to come here but as she usually potters around on her own she didn't have the confidence to go in by herself! It was very busy despite it being...

Stopped for coffee and cake and returned for lunch. Food and service were superb. Will definitely go back.

Having met a girlfriend for lunch we decided that La Madeline was the perfect place to have my 50th birthday celebration - and my expectations were surpassed. Ed, Niki and the staff provided not only fantastic food but the service was amazing - attentive without...

Had a lovely lunch with friends in the beautiful courtyard area. Super choices on the lunchtime menu with great service. I enjoyed it so much I took my Mum for lunch the week after! Highly recommend the avocado dish and friends thought the skinny quiche...

Just returned from this lovely restaurant. The food was superb, we both had rack of lamb and it was really good. We then had raspberry Creme Brûlée, also excellent, staff lovely, decor and atmosphere fab. I would highly recommend. Yes it is slightly pricey but...

this unique venue is usually quite busy. If your lucky you get to enjoy sitting at a table outside in the garden with an awning against the showers. The soup is particularly delicious and the homemade brownies worth going back for again and again. I...

Lovely food and atmosphere! Really nice place to have any kind of meal! Really really good! Hope to make it there for dinner one night!

Church Street, the little passageway between the cathedral and the town centre is abuzz with interesting little artisan shops, specialist food stores and cafés, but La Madeleine definitely has that little bit of extra je ne sais quoi to raise it above the rest. The...

Had checked this out online before we visited but not really ready for how nice it was and that we made a really good choice! Lovely to sit on the garden on a sunny day with a glass of prosecco and a crust less quiche...

Called in on a Saturday morning for breakfast. Only 7 other people in my there and took over 10 minutes for our order to be taken, another 10 minutes for drinks to be served and a further 15 minutes for food to arrive. Chef and...

Have been here loads of times under the previous ownership but have sadly not had a chance until now to try it out with the new owner (Ed). We popped in last Saturday for an impromptu light lunch and a coffee. We sat outside in...

Probably the best dinner in town. Choice of three options for starters / mains / desserts. Nice natural service and cosy ambience. All in all a nice experience.

Another chance to sample the wonderful lunch time fare at this great little restaurant. We all enjoyed delicious quiche and salad with a great bottle of reasonably priced wine. For dessert I indulged in a delicious almond tart which is one of the nicest I...

Stopped in for a cappuccino and an almond croissant. The outdoor seating in the back is really quiet and perfect for a nice visit. The almond croissant was so delicious! Lovely place to go for a lunch date!

It was empty when we arrived the other evening early and there were only three other tables throughout that evening with one couple still there when we walked past about 10p.m. The menu that had been on display outside during the afternoon had changed with...

Beautiful little eatery tucked down Church Street which is lovely in itself en-route to the cathedral.I was treating my mother today who chose the pate and toast, I had the quiche with salad, both dishes were very tasty and filling............ allowing us to continue our...

Had supper at la Madeleine's. Service was good and the food was extremely tasty. Had mint and pea soup to start, basque chicken for main and orange torte to finish. All for £20, absolute bargain. Would definitely recommend a visit.

What a gem, brilliant local food, good portions and well priced. Great wine and all hosted in the most beautiful venue tucked down one of the secret street in Hereford. We will be back!

Not my first visit and will not be my last. A lovely restaurant that you would be advised to book for lunch; although you can sit and wait for a table. We had the Croque Madeleine - we thought it would be a light bite...

What a find! Lovely food, very friendly staff and a beautiful spring garden setting. The lunch menu was interesting and reasonably priced and the rose wine absolutely delicious. Really enjoyed a relaxed couple of hours here and will visit again when I'm in Hereford. I...

Visited La Madeleine on a sunny Monday afternoon and enjoyed lunch in their beautiful terraced garden. I ordered the croque Madeleine from the specials board and was not disappointed, tasty and satisfying but very good value for money. All washed down with a bottle of...

Went to La Madeleine last Saturday evening with friends and had a really great dining experience. Food was fantastic and service friendly and attentive but unobtrusive. Menu is small but caters for all. I had the consommé to start...the best I've ever had. For main...
