Regulars will know that we are huge fans of this restaurant. We've been coming to Maison Bleue for at least 20 years, probably more. And over the years it has constantly reinvented itself, with the food and service getting ever more impressive.Well, today, we were back for their first post-Covid lunch service, and it was an emotional moment - eating amazing food, in a familiar setting, looked aster by a Michelin-star winning team. The food is amongst the best you will ever taste. The service is attentive but unfussy.Our lunch gave us hope that we are heading back to some kind of normality. It was exceptional.

We have been wanting to go here for a few years and finally got to go. It was truly worth the wait. The food service everything was to the highest standard. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I truly think it’s a michelin standard restaurant.

Booked in for my birthday lunch. (Do book as COVID19 restrictions mean they have less tables). It was a lovely dining experience from start to finish, with attentive staff and a lovely menu. The amuse bouche and petit fours were a lovely addition. For a restaurant of this quality, the pricing was very reasonable. I can’t wait to return!

Terrible Experience Pretty much lost for words. Can’t review the food as we didn’t get that far. Was basically told we had cancelled the booking during the week so the table wasn’t available. So if this had been the case why did we turn up and wasn’t charged the £25 cancellation fee. We had a table for 4 booked with our COVID bubble yet was made to feel we was lying and not welcome. The reception was simply the worst experience we have ever had. Lost for words.

We visited Maison Bleue for a birthday dinner in December 2020. What a fantastic experience! The staff made us feel very welcome from the minute we stepped through the door. Wonderful service and atmosphere, and the food was exquisite. Highy recommended and we will certainly return.

Apparantly regarded as the best in the area we can totally agree why this restaurant has this high reputation.From entrance to exit we were made to feel special by the excellent staff who are well drilled and provided us (and the others near us) with a perfectly paced lunch service all done in the right way with the right timings to make for an excllently enjoyable and relaxed dining experience.The lunch menu was excellent value for the high standard of food which was both beautifully cooked and wonderfully presented. As for the cheese - well that is a must, defintely the best cheese board I have had in the UK!A fantastic wine list too with knowledgeable staff on hand to help you out if undecided by the wide variety of choice.Still talking about how much we enjoyed the experience several days after - always a good.We really really want to return here.

No idea if this is the right vehicle to write this review, if not so what.Two dear friends decided, as a surprise, to invite my wife and I to lunch today. It was her birthday. Many thanks to Jean and Vanessa for their kindness.They amazed us by buying in a Maison Bleue takeaway meal.Absolutely brilliant, content, taste, presentation etc superb.Very good value.Karine and Pascal are to be congratulated on the idea and implementation.It does seem that this idea may become permanent. If so good.In this time of concern, worry and loss perhaps they have discovered one way of making our lives that much better and less stressful.Good luck and thanks to them.Keith Lee

We brought our daughter with us this time as a treat. She wasn't disappointed.it is the most wonderful culinary experience and the staff are always so attentive and lovely but without fussing too much. The wine list is extensive with bottles available at all prices.Our daughter loves fish and had the salmon to start which she adored. When she was eating her sea bass she said she didn't want to get to the end because it was so good.Our ravioli was delicious,my lamb melted in the mouth and the halibut superb. Also the desserts were fabulous.With the chefs treat, bread and petit fours it isn't a cheap set menu but I would rather eat her once than 5 times elsewhere!

We went for a special anniversary lunch yesterday . We were warmly greeted and shown to a delightful table in the front window . Noted that Covid hygiene was fully in place.The service was impeccable - friendly and professional - and each of our 3 courses was a mouth watering treat......the best restaurant food anywhere this year . Wines by the glass were top class and a great complement to the very tasty dishes.There was a lovely ambience and for us the whole experience was a truly memorable occasion. We are lucky to have such a fine establishment in Suffolk , and will certainly return.

That Maison Bleue doesn't have a Michelin star says more about the idiosyncracies of their inspectors than the quality of the food. Simply put, the food - in fact, the whole experience - is exceptional. The entry in the guide describes the cooking as "classical", but it's way more than that, with subtle but unexpected combinations of flavours and textures and a refreshingly sensitive way of presenting vegetarian dishes that avoid non-meat eaters from feeling short-changed. The prix fixe menu is also excellent value at £37.50 for three courses plus amuse bouche and petits fours. Service is spot on too with tables that are just the right distance from each other. A place to return to time and again.

Thank you for a wonderful, wonderful lunch for my birthday.I started with a wonderfully imaginative creation around a tapenade base, followed by pork and a pear dessert.This doesn't do any justice to the technical expertise and finesse shown in preparation and delivery, and service was stylish, prompt and with genuine warmth.This is such a special place-our next birthday isn't until February, but I'm sure we'll be back well before then.

Despite Covid19 precautions our visit was relaxed. As usual the food was of the highest quality and perfectly cooked with enough unusual flavour to make every mouthful a taste treat. One of our group ordered vegetarian starter and main and was immediately asked "Are you vegetarian, I can tell you which desserts contain animal products".Service was unobtrusive but impeccable. We will definitely return.

Everything you would expect from a top class restaurant. Naturally, the food was superb, from the amuse-bouches to the final treats. The service was not so stiffly formal as in some top places, and there was a little more space than usual, which was welcome. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself at the next anniversary, birthday, or just because you deserve a treat apres-lockdown :)

We plumped for the £55 a head menu as I fancied lamb. There is also one that costs £33. Started with bread which was lovely. Chefs treat was fabulous. To start I had a tart with mushrooms and runny egg which was lovely, my husband had pasta which was light and flavoursome. My main of lamb was tender and tasty and my husband said his halibut was amazing. We had a side of saute potatoes as we know they are always delicious. My husband's apple dessert was superb and I loved my raspberry meringue one. The wine list is extensive and priced from about £28 upwards.The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient without rushing you at any time.We really enjoyed a wonderful lunch experience.Thank you

We don't eat out very often, so like to make sure that when we do its a bit special. Maison Bleue is always superb, and they have adapted to COVID restrictions whilst retaining a calm and relaxing atmosphere. It is a little more expensive than the many chain restaurants in the town, but the food is cooked fresh and is far superior, so we feel that Maison Bleue offers great value for money

Our favourite restaurant on the planet. From the moment you walk through the door the experience is amazing. Karine and her front of house team know exactly how to treat a customer and just make you feel special. Pascal and his team produce the quality of food that just makes you want to go back for more. The menu never disappoints. Our latest meal in a Covid 19 secure environment where Karine and Pascal had thought of everything was perfect. There was a choice from two 3 course menus that cater for every taste and you can just take the whole evening at your own pace. It really is a very special place to eat!

We have had 2 meals at this restaurant in the last 2 weeks, a dinner and then a lunch both to celebrate birthdays. We normally eat here 5-6 times each year, so know what to expect under normal circumstances.The adaptations the owners have made to conform with COVID restrictions are excellent: you wouldn't really feel that too much was different.The fixed menu options at 2 price points are both excellent value considering the ingredients involved, and presented to the normal highest standards.The quality of service was, as always, exemplary.This restaurant has shown what can be achieved under such restrictions and puts some of the others in the local area to shame. Well done!

Ate this evening with my family at Maison Bleue. We’ve been before and loved it, and tonight was no exception. It was however my first time eating there as a vegetarian, so I was wondering whether the experience would be diminished at all by that.Obviously, being vegetarian, there was less choice. An impressive 3/6 starters were vegetarian, but only one main option on the £36.50 menu, and no vegetarian option on the more expensive menu.The celeriac lasagne was not quite to my taste. Nothing wrong with it as such, just not for me, and certainly nothing to complain about. The main, which was a risotto, was absolutely delicious! Both by 9yo and partner both had the beef, and said how delicious it was. The potato purée side was absolutely Moreish and buttery. Perfect.Dessert and petit fours was, as ever, delicious.The service was attentive, despite COVID measures being in place.Thank you Maison Bleue for another fabulous evening out! 5 stars well deserved.

We visited for a birthday family meal, decor was reasonably nice but not amazing. Staff were well trained and pleasant. Unfortunately all three courses were tiny in size and more disappointingly completely lacking in any flavour. We were surprised at previous reviews as we left hungry and unimpressed. For the cost this should have been much better as we felt it was a complete waste of money and will definitely not be returning.

I booked this restaurant to belatedly celebrate my wife's birthday, and we were not disappointed. The overall experience, from the initial reservation, communication pre visit, welcome on arrival, quality of food and service level, were all of an exceptional standard. This restaurant sets high standards that many others could not achieve, and they do it effortlessly. Hygiene was at a very high level post lockdown, face coverings are required when you walk through the restaurant, and the staff wear face shields throughout service . This is a place where you can feel safe given the current situation. Dress code is smart. There were no children in the restaurant during our visit for dinner at 7pm until 9.15pm, you may wish to check their policy on children dining before booking. Toilets were clean and presentable, high standard of hygiene. As you walk through the restaurant you can see into the kitchen through glass. This establishment has nothing to hide. Price was £55.00 per person for a three course menu, fine dining standard. Wine starts at around £20.00 a bottle. Good value overall. Highly recommend and will visit agin.

We recently had the Saturday collect and dine option of 3 courses. Which was a excellent alternative as the restaurant is obviously currently closed. These 3 dishes a salmon starter & duck main and a mango desert were absolutely faultless and extremely delicious and enjoyable.

There is a reason why the intimate Mason Bleue Restaurant tucked away in a side street in Bury St Edmunds continues to attract rave reviews; quite simply it delivers some of the very best food you’ll find anywhere. Pascal and Karine run a tight ship combining a warm and welcoming front of house with a slick attentive service from a team of young French waiting staff and then the food itself: inventive, versatile, beautifully presented, packed with flavour and of course utterly delicious. I hadn’t been for a while - it’s a special occasion place after all - but was lucky enough to accompany my husband on a work outing last week. We were a very large party and could not have been better looked after. To deliver that level of fine dining to so many of us simultaneously is exceptional. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening.

I was travelling from Kent to Bury for work and did a solo trip to Maison Bleue for dinner. It was superb. It struck the right balance between technical finesse and goddamn tasty, which in my view some chefs overlook. The wine (by the glass as I was solo) was well priced and interesting. I really rate this place and will find an excuse to pass through Bury again to re-visit. Well done to the team.

Had an excellent dinner at Maison Bleue. We were greeted well and shown to our table. The restaurant has a nice ambience and appropriate level of lighting. The starters (scallops and beef cheek) were both excellent. As was one of the main courses (Cod) but the Goose was disappointing with the meat being tough and the rest of the dish a bit bland. The desserts (chocolate and one other) were both very good mind. The meal overall still merited a five star rating despite the disappointing goose course. There is also an extensive wine list but I was pleased to see a reasonable house Bordeaux available for £27 a bottle. Overall an enjoyable dinner; recommended.

Staff were pleasant and attentive, clearing unwanted cutlery and glass ware. No intrusive background music, my only negative comment is that you had to fold yourself to fit in the ladies' toilet. No gratuities are added so it is left to your discretion. We will be going again.

Maison Bleue was our choice for a special anniversary and birthday meal combined and it didn't disappoint - from the warm and professional welcome, the three distinctive 'must eat' breads and the amuse bouche of milk soup, prickling with bacony mini croutons and with a surprise bubble of red wine flavour hiding in it, right through to the homely touch of the closing petits fours served on a plain white plate enhanced with a 'happy anniversary' swirl. In between came starters of king scallop with delicately prepared chicory, with added walnut and other exciting flavour teases, stuffed rabbit, mains of (we both chose the same) free range goose cooked superbly to provide both pinkness on the inside and crispy intensity on the outside and with all manner of lovely flavours including pistachio in the accompanying goosey bits thing (sorry - forgotten what it was called but it was great!). Diane went for some lemony loveliness for afters whilst I headed off to choose (with expert advice) from the cheese trolley. Thanks Pascal and Karine for a lovely evening. Maison Bleue does both wonderful looking food that tastes even better, and creates a lovely atmosphere to enjoy it.

Maison Bleue is simply a wonderful fine dining restaurant offering an imaginative and taste tingling experience from start to finish. The environment is classy but has a great city vibe - even though it is in a sleep corner of Bury St Edmunds. We visited on a Monday lunchtime back in December (they don't normally open on Mondays) but did so for several Mondays in the run-up to Christmas. We had a three course offering and each course was sensational. Service was excellent too and the whole experience is one we will definitely seek to repeat - this time trying out the evening vibe. The wine list was also amazing. This is a great place and must be visited if you are in the area! This was as good a place as any I have eaten at for some time.

Attended yesterday for an early Christmas lunch with work - had a wonderful lunch and cannot fault this establishment. Staff, service and food were all excellent and the attention to detail was superb. Thank you and see you next year!

Just coming into the Christmas season and had the most wonderful lunch with a friend. Staff, service and food all excellent. Attention to detail second to none. Just wish I lived nearer.

This was our second trip for a birthday here in 12 months. Even better than the first time. The staff are very attentive, the food is amazing. Wonderful bread baskets, simple water bottles and just excellent all round. We will return again soon!

We enjoyed a simply wonderful lunch. The quality of the food, the cooking, presentation, service and ambiance all top notch. It was a very special birthday memory for my wife and I. A tiny error was that I had let Maison Bleue that my wife is allergic to fish and strawberries - so the inclusion of a strawberry macaron with the petit fours was unfortunate. Thankfully no harm done and soon rectified though. Strawberries notwithstanding, we certainly intend to return however.

havent been to maisons for 14 years but was my favourite restaurant when we lived in bury so thought i would give myself a treat while visiting the xmas market. was lucky to get in without a reservation but got put up the back of the restaurant. ordered mains and dessert the food was very tasty what there was of it such small portions. it used to be mainly fish years ago but there wasnt much fish on the menu so i was a bit disappointed. quite expensive for what you get.

Cannot fault this restaurant, the food and service is absolutely fantastic, this is still our favourite restaurant . Just goes to show you do not need a Michelin star even though this restaurant deserves three. Wish we lived closer. Thank you to the head Chef who took the trouble to come out of a busy kitchen to talk to us. We will definitely be back.

This high end restaurant is really worth visiting. The food is exceptional and the service charming. The wine list is varied and reasonable. The lunch menu looks particularly good value. I look forward to returning.

First visit to this restaurant, food was very good and staff were very friendly although the prices seemed high for the a la carte menu. We would definitely return.

We visited for a birthday dinner. The food was in the French style and of the highest quality. The offerings were creative and delicious with the beautiful presentation never overwhelming considerations of flavour. It was easily the best place we dined at on our holiday in the UK. The meal was very well balanced with each element complementing the others. Individual courses were satisfying but not too heavy. I would recommend this restaurant for any special occasion and it is certainly worth traveling to visit here. If I lived in Britain I would be perfectly happy to drive an hour to eat here for my special occasions.

We visited for an anniversary meal and were blown away by the service and food. Incredible salmon and swordfish starters, and both had the succulent and delicious venison. The puréed potatoes were also delectable. The service was attentive without being intrusive, cannot recommend highly enough and we are both already looking forward to going back! Thanks so much for a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable evening!

My Husband and I always choose Maison Bleue for a romantic dinner, simply because the owners are extremely friendly and the food is absolutely the best in the world.

We were in a party of 10 and were welcomed immediately. The welcome sparkling wine and the white and red wines recommended were in all cases excellent. The starter, main course and dessert, chosen from the fixed price menu, were of a very high standard and well presented. I had swordfish followed by pork and a lemon tartlet, all delicious. Service was excellent. We will surely return!

We are lucky enough to have visited some excellent restaurants recently and they have all been superb, and Maison Blue is another that offers simply stunning looking and absolutely delicious food. Add that to the exemplary service and you have one of the top places to eat in east anglia. We had a special lunch here and I can not wait for the next reason for a visit. The quality of the food, the presentation and the service are unrivalled in this part of the world. I chose from the set menu, and had lamb sweetbreads followed by venison then a lemon chocolate dessert, for under £30.00 that really is exceptional. There is also a wonderful a la carte menu and the food is varied, seasonal and of the top quality. The chef here is becoming somewhat of a local celebrity and its easy to see why, everything done to perfection. Lovely atmosphere without being stuffy nice people having a nice time. Wine list extensive, cheese board something else. If you get the chance please treat yourself you will not be disapointed.

On a nice day in Bury St Edmunds a visit to the Abbey ruins and gardens followed by lunch in Maison Bleue is my idea of heavenly pursuits! Understated but elegant decor, impeccable service and wonderful cooking, Maison Bleue is everything a good restaurant should be. As other reviewers have hinted it is surprising that it does not hold a Michelin star – mark you I am thankful it does not because it is quite busy enough without one!
