Maison de Boeuf in Cardiff

It does one thing but even that is not very good. Is not bad and the atmosphere is OK. Brings extra if u want it but that is not the point

Love, love, love...food, ambience, great service. Will be back again and again.

Truly scrumptious food in a gorgeous setting

We booked this for the 3rd Thursday evening in November - Beaujolais day, and we were not disappointed. The restaurant was full but even with 3 weeks advanced booking we had to dine in the arcade. This is O.K. as the castle end of the arcade was shut so in the evening there is no thoroughfare. We started with a glass of prosecco as they do not sell champagne by the glass, we were saving ourselves for a bottle of beaujolais. Madame had been looking forward to a bowl of onion soup all day and she was happy with the outcome. 2 small pieces of baguette covered in cheese and served in the bowl. I had previously spoken to the chef in person during the booking and he had recommended the steak for the main course. We both selected this and it was cooked medium and served sliced with frites. (Chips really but it is French). This is when the beaujolais came into play and the 2022 vintage cost £34.99. Beaujolais can be light for a steak but this one did the job. Our dessert was a Paris - Brest. Normally this is cooked as choux pastry but this time it was really a doughnut with cream. Coffee to finish and Madame was really pleased. Class Act!

I was surprised to see that a steak place would cater to vegetarians but I was quite disappointed when it arrived as it looked very much like a Beyond Burger patty with some seasoning and gravy. If it said that in the menu I likely wouldn't have ordered it. I think a nicer plant meat substitute (e.g. Redefined meat) or another classic French dish like ratatouille would be a better option for vegetarians. However my partner who isn't vegetarian enjoyed her escargot and steak, and I did enjoy the cheese souffle starter. Lovely atmosphere and location.

Worst steak and chips I've ever had in my life. Basically a plate full of chips and a slither of steak. The chips were ill cooked and greasy. Could not recommend in any way

I will never come to this restaurant again after the shoddy way I was treated here!

Food was brilliant, steak was cooked well and service was great. Only problem was that tables are so close together but they are working with limited space. Reasonably priced.

Visited this restaurant last night, admittedly it was a Sunday. First impressions; beautiful decor, attentive staff. We then realised there were only two items on offer for both starters and mains, my husband had snails, I had onion soup, both of which were really delicious. Then mains, well if you’re not vegan or don’t want steak you’re in trouble. Anyway husband had the soup starter as a mains, and as I’d had soup already, I had the steak. It was served on two separate plates 🤷‍♀️. I ate some of the first steak it was OK. , but nothing special so I didn’t bother with the second, I’d eat the chips instead. But, they were fries, and if not frozen certainly at least chilled. I personally couldn’t eat them as they were tasteless, however I could see others eating them, so my husband tried one of mine, he didn’t like them either. So after a chat with the manager, who was very pleasant they didn’t charge for the steak, so we accepted that, but we’re both somewhat disappointed. We probably will try the restaurant again, on a night when they have a fuller menu, and hope there will be more potato choices other than fries. There are no half stars or I would have given 3.5 rather than the 3, because it’s a lovely restaurant.

Went as a birthday celebration for my best friend. Loved the food (especially the cheese board)

Food was fantastic, disappointing there were no profiteroles on the menu which we were both looking forward too. Service was excellent very quick and efficient. A small venue which you were sat quite close to the next table but would still recommend and would return again.

can’t begin to express how much i love this place. genuinely tastes so so good. easily one of the best steaks ive ever had. the sauce? heavenly. their mustard? wish i could bring it home with me. without a shadow of a doubt come here. book, beg, grovel if you must, it’s beyond worth it. i feel i must add, ive only ever been here when im starving so my review could be slightly biased but it is really good.

Excellent food and great prices, definitely be going back

The steak was delicious but was cold, and we mentioned this to the staff, and she said 'oh that is ok, I will mention this'. The fries were hot and tasty, though. The staff member was very pleasant and welcoming.

Great steak in a wonderful sauce, fab frites and first class service today for my daughter and I.

An authentic Parisien themed restaurant, limited menu, onion soup, steak frites cooked medium and profiterole all for reasonable costs, restaurant is cozy but can get too warm and feel claustophobic, small tables and uncomfortable chairs, I also don't recommend the house white. Seating available outside in the Castle Arcade. Update 25.10.24 - note prices have shot up a little since opening. 2 & 3 course now £28.95 and £34.95 respectively.

Mi pareja y yo hemos venido a Cardiff esta noche para celebrar su cumpleaños. Decidimos tener una maravilla alrededor para encontrar un lugar donde cenar. Como este lugar está en el Arcade, casi caminamos por él, pero por suerte mi compañero lo vio! La pasarela de la galería estaba llena de luces y cuando llegamos al restaurante, miramos el menú y decidimos darle una oportunidad! Sin duda supera a todas las cadenas en la calle principal para una comida íntima, y el ambiente era tranquilo y relajante. Como no habíamos reservado conseguimos una mesa para dos fuera, pero esto no fue un problema, ya que tenían algunos grandes calentadores al aire libre que nos mantuvieron calientes. ¡Podría quitarme el abrigo y seguir cómoda! La comida era absolutamente deliciosa. Tomé la sopa de cebolla francesa y es con diferencia la mejor sopa que he tomado. Seguimos esto con un filete a base de plantas para mí, y un habitual para mi pareja. Tanto delicioso y las escuelas eran sabrosas también. Mi pareja disfrutó de recibir una segunda porción de filete... ¡fue una sorpresa muy bienvenida! Mi compañero entonces tomó un postre de pastelería choux que dijo que se derritió en su boca que era tan bueno! Para las bebidas, tuvimos dos cócteles y eran encantadores y dulces. En general, la comida era excelente, el servicio era fantástico y el ambiente era perfecto. No me sentía como si estuviera en el centro de Cardiff. Teníamos un poco de música encantadora en el fondo del ambiente era el lugar para una comida íntima con mi pareja. Ya hemos recomendado este lugar a nuestra familia y amigos. Se sentía como un pequeño oasis entre el caos / ruido del centro de la ciudad.

Me gustó mucho la comida. El menú era pequeño pero auténtico y realmente clavaron cada plato. Muy agradable. Lamentablemente, no disfruté que me empujaran de mi mesa antes de terminar cuando el restaurante estaba lleno solo 1/3 un lunes por la noche y tampoco soy fan de la política de no efectivo, especialmente cuando no está bien anunciado. Es triste darte un 3 pero hazlo mejor. Gracias

Maison gave us a free dessert for our anniversary such a nice gesture!!

This is the 3rd time I’ve eaten here, and I’m left with 2 questions. 1. Why have the steak portions gotten significantly smaller (4 thin slices followed by 3 more thin slices for the 2nd round) while the price remains the same? 2. Why were we only allowed a 5pm reservation while literally more than half of the restaurant stayed empty during our entire 90 minute meal? [Watching your waiters huddle together near our table to whisper and stare was also unpleasant to say the least. I will not be coming back for a 4th time.]

The atmosphere is extremely cosy and comforting and the music adds a very nice ambience. Whilst the steak and fries were really delicious, the steak itself came as pre-cut, thin slices which was a very disappointing portion especially for the price. That being said, the peppercorn sauce was incredible and the fries were some of the best fries Ive ever eaten. Also, the portion size was rectified by our lovely waitress Holly coming by and offering to give us extra steak and fries because they had some left over! Overall I probably wouldn’t dine here again, but it is a very nice experience for a special occasion. Made 100% worth it by the amazing service we received, every single member of staff was super friendly and accommodating <3

If you're looking for the perfect romantic dining experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. The food is simply incredible — every dish is bursting with flavor - impeccable! The service is exceptional; the staff are very friendly , polite and make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is perfect blend. It’s by far the best place to eat in town, and great value for money. Highly recommended and will be returning!

Lovely warm and inviting atmosphere. Heaters above the outside tables to keep you toasty. Not much choice on menu, but what was available was delicious, cooked to perfection. Staff were very polite and attentive also. Wonderful little place.

Amazing atmosphere, staff and food! The menu is limited but amazing! Cocktails are incredible too! We can’t wait to return, thank you for a great evening!

I'd give the service 6 stars if I could, lovely food, lovely place.

Really stunning experience- we were so thankful for the food, service and with no unexpected extra charges on the bill. Also unexpectedly treated due to our booking being a special occasion. 100% coming again :))

We have been to Parisian version and can say this is better for the food.

This restaurant operates on the concept that it only does a few dishes, extremely well. So be aware of this - but if you like steak (or vegan steak) it is incredible. The fries were perfectly crispy and the steak melt-in-your-mouth. As a bonus, there was a second portion available. I would also like to mention the creme brulee which was a great end to the meal and the only dish I managed to get a photo of. Servers were friendly and efficient, and I really liked the overall decor. Just be aware it's a little hard to find if it's later on and part of the arcade is shut off. You have to find "Gin and Juice" and go through there.

Place looks nice and then you get inside. Pompous staff who' don't speak a word of French?.. the 2 brothers 1 a chef and 1on the floor completely clueless running around doing nothing girls serving us had trouble opening our wine. No social skills. My steak was over done and my chips I did not eat. I Left before dessert arrived. Won't be returning. Steak of the art or pastures I recommend.

Curtis really makes the visit something special, would definitely recommend and hope you're in Curtis's section!

Food was great, service was great and atmosphere was so fun (went on a jazz night.) The cocktails were so tasty.

Went for birthday dinner and strongly recommended for celebrations. Always excellent food in a lovely environment.

Lovely French themed restaurant with great food and amazing staff

It's a real cliché, but as a frenchie, guys it's really great !! It's beautiful and really yummy !!

I enjoyed this alot more than I expected to. I'm a big fan of the simple concept of doing one thing, and doing it very very well. In my mind, I was at a 8 maybe even a 9/10 rating, then the server arrived with extra steak, fries and sauce for a second serving. Excellent. Decent value for a city center restaurant. Cute restaurant that transports you to France. I'd go back again for sure. Well worth a visit. They even do a fully vegan version of the same dish. Oh. And I like the wine options. The profiterole was not to my liking. I do think it was lacking overall compared to the rest of the meal.

Simple but great food- private dining room is brilliant! You really feel like you could be in France! For awareness- you can’t tip the staff by card- you can only pay exact amount! French onion soup is outstanding! Partner had snails- said they were good!

Maison de Boeuf, Cardiff is located in a lovely arcade and we had a table situated outside. The menu is pretty restricted and you can do a 3 course or two course option. This seems to be modelled on the Le Relais de Venise in London which is not a bad thing, great steak and chips main course (With the second serving offered), finished with a Creme Brulee. Friendly and efficient staff, can very much recommend.

Beautiful French restaurant. Food exquisite. Lovely atmosphere.

Having visited l’entrecôte in Paris, we preferred the steak and fries here. Felt like I’d been transported to Paris for the time I was there. Really lovely and highly recommend you try this. Small Bread basket would be lovely accompaniment be only feedback.

Don’t bother if you’re not a meat eater. I know that sounds stupid, but I chose the vegan steak and a) was looked at like I had 3 heads and b) the meat eaters get offered a second serving of meat and chips and I didn’t get anything despite paying the exact same as the meat dish (which in itself was odd). My cheese soufflé starter was amazing but overall I’m disappointed and won’t be going back.

Fantastic tender beef with rich herby butter sauce, served in 2 stages. French Onion soup was excellent, dense and cheesy topping to a sweet onion soup. Highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful food and lots of it too. The service was above and beyond, and the decor was authentic. There was such a lovely atmosphere when the lights dipped and the candle lit up our table. Would recommend to family and friends.

A very genuine place that is happy to see you there! Great food, constantly Great service from the staff. I'm quite happy we arrived on their doorstep by accident and I will definitely go back!

Lovely French restaurant in thr heart of Cardiff. The menu may seem limited but I appreciate focusing on a few dishes they can do extremely well! My partner and I ordered the onion soup and cheese souffle for starters which were delicious. The mains were perfectly cooked and seasoned and we were pleasantly surprised by the top up offer during our meal. Unfortunately, we were too full to have dessert but next time might share a starter and the dessert between us. The whole experience couldn't be better, staff are friendly and professional, the meal was accompanied by live jazz band (apparently this is only on Thursdays) and the restaurant is beautifully decorated creating very romantic ambience. We visited 2 weeks ago and coming back tonight again with friends who are visiting us in Cardiff. I can't wait!

Quick dinner with out the reservation, very happy with the food (flashbacks from Paris ;) ), great service, highly recommended!

Setting lovely, music is nice, service good, food terrible. 2 starters - which were obviously microwaved. Steaks, thin strips, not very substantial, artificial chips. For the price not worth it. Food comparable to a chain fast food conglomerate.

A fab cute place ,food yum steak and frites amazing ,French onion soup great...

You know that it’s gonna deliver when it’s a super small menu; great value!

Tiny Paris in central Cardiff. Highly recommend, prices are really good. Food is awesome and portion quite big too. Magnificent

Couldn't get a table in this restaurant because I was alone! What a lousy restaurant!

Gorgeous restaurant and amazing service thank you to our waitress.

Perfect. No more words are necessary. Including the singer.

I see reviews on here saying it shouldnt be house of beef, not proper steak etc etc. Once you understand what the concept is here you would know it wasnt a steakhouse. This is a British interpretation of the French institution that is Le Relais de Venise. The concept is quite simple with a couple of starters, a couple of desserts and the main is just sliced tri tip steak, fries, steak sauce and a basic salad that gets refilled one more time. Thats what you go for. Its not a steak house and its not trying to be. The surroundings are great and the wine is decent. The onion soup is a good attempt, the cheese souffle less so. Cant fault the steak and chips main although the salad being just endive is a bit unusual. The cheese plate for dessert is decent. I would go again

So I can't comment on how french the food is or how much sauce should be on the steak, but they did get me more steak and sauce, when the orginal amount had a very luke warm sauce, so I can't fault the service and I did not ask for it. So kudos for that. Ambience is nice and I was lucky it was a quiet night so I had a corner to myself.

Great location, friendly staff, horrific food! Very expensive plate of average chips, with meat hidden by a very poor sauce. “House of Beef” would have expected to see a nice steak!

Lovely Parisian style steak and frites restaurant. Like having Le Relais de l'Entrecôte on my doorstep. Called in on the off chance with friends and despite feeling slightly under dressed, we felt welcome. Food was quick and really tasty.

Great cocktails wine & ambience if you have been to France you will be disappointed with the quality of the food. Unfortunately, the chef needs to go back to France for some refsher training .

Recently visited and thoroughly enjoyed. The food, atmosphere and Service all made it a wonderful experience and i will return there for sure

The food was really disappointing for what it costs. We had decent starters but the vegetarian main course was a rip off. You can't charge over £20 for a completely tasteless soya steak with very dry fries. The décor is pleasant but very generic. The staff was friendly. I'd not return

Incredible food and great atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or anniversary. Low lighting and great ambiance. We both had the cheese soufflé for starter and it was delightful, soft and fluffy and the sauce was amazing. The steak and chips were perfect. They arrive on quite a small plate however the portion was plenty. The steak and chips are fabulous but the best bit is the sauce. They won’t tell you what’s in it and I can’t accurately describe it but it’s delightful. To cap it off they brought over more steak towards the end of the meal. The couple next to us were celebrating their anniversary and they had a free ice cream dessert. The service was excellent. Very polite and helpful without being in your face. I’ll definitely be returning.

Love it! Atmosphere, food and carefully selected wine plus attentive service. I'd definitely go again.

Felt like I was back in Paris ... I have a great love for French food, and I was so excited to visit this restaurant when I was told we were going for my birthday, and I must say I did not leave feeling disappointed. The food itself was just on point, from the perfectly cooked Escargots, Steak that was melt in the mouth and served with some of the tastiest chips I have ever had ... finishing off with an amazing Apple Tarte Tatin! Yes, this restaurant has a very limited menu and I have noticed alot of people commenting about how Steak Frites is the only main available, and there were even a few people joking about this in the restaurant. However, it means they can focus on what they do best and put more love into the limited number of dishes. If you want 20 options, go to your local weatherspoons, and you'll see the quality difference. Would I go again? Yes ... at a drop of a hat. The service was amazing and did not feel rushed at all despite having only a 2 hour limit. I would say there is room for improvement, just like any other restaurant there is always room for improvement. The little things that really annoyed me were the paper table covers, the extremely close tables, and the fact they didn't just put all the steak on my plate and served it in 2 servings ... I would like to understand why they do this, because it makes no sense to me as the close tables reduces the romantic atmosphere, and the Steak being stored in containers for the 2nd serving would cause the Steak to overcook as its sat keeping warm. Apart from these little annoyances, it's been the best dining experience I have had a while and highly recommend.

I came here for my birthday today. Absolutely awful. The bread in my French onion soup could have killed somebody, not joking. The soup was tasteless. The main opinion was only steak, couldn't cook my steak as medium rare because they didn't do it. Not joking. When came out was so small, I could have fed a five year old, only regret not taking a picture. This meal was shocking. I always fancied dining here... never again... don't waste your money

Gorgeous food, amazing atmosphere, very professional staff!!!

Such a fabulous meal and the staff were so attentive and polite, thank you for a lovely evening 🤩

Building on a known Parisian formula - limited menu executed perfectly. Service was great... food was delicious. Of course, there's only one real main here - but it's done brilliantly. Highly recommend.

The vibe is unmatched it’s so nice and relaxing and the food is amazing very filling

This is definitely my new favorite spot in Cardiff. I love the French vibe of the restaurant and the quality of the wine is excellent. The music selection is also great. Overall, I was very happy and I’ll be back soon for their live jazz night!

The restaurant was gorgeous and had a very relaxing and sophisticated atmosphere. Staff were friendly and attentive for most of the evening. Mine and my partner’s issue came upon receiving our steak, which was brought to us far later than the tables around us but we forgave considering we had an allergen. After watching a few tables around us receive second helpings of chips and steak, we weren’t too phased by what looked like small portions. We enjoyed the food and the steaks were cooked exactly as requested. After about 5 minutes of waiting with empty plates, a waiter approached and asked if we had finished. Surprised, we politely asked if we would be receiving our second part. After a muffled discussion with his colleague, the waiter then informed us that due to the allergen, we had been given our whole meal in one portion. We were a little disappointed to hear this, as having the tables so close together allowed us a front row seat to other people’s meals, and we definitely did not get as much food as was offered to other people. For 23£ a portion, to not even receive your whole steak is really strange. This made the value for money significantly worse for someone visiting the restaurant with an allergen, so I really wouldn’t recommend it. At the very least, my partner and I agreed they should’ve clarified with us beforehand that the extra servings we were watching being given to everyone else would not apply to us. We ended up not having dessert having felt sufficiently ripped off as it was, though in the interest of fairness the restaurant did offer a complimentary glass of ice cream as it was my partner’s birthday, which was lovely.

Excellent. Taniyah was our lovely server.

Overhyped. The restaurant looks like an extremely romantic French cuisine experience from the outside yet the entire experience felt rushed. The tables are very close to one another ruining the atmosphere created by the ambience. The food was also disappointing. I had the escargot as a starter which was good however the French onion soup my partner had was ruined by the hard bread. The steak was also definitely unseasoned when cooked which the sauce desperately tried to hide. The menu is also rather limited which further adds to the rushed feel of the restaurant. The desserts we had were both disappointing the apple tart was bland and the giant profiterole was so bad I literally spat it out which is something I've never done before. The cocktails however fantastic! The bartender was the only saving grace. For the price I expected more. I unfortunately wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone or come again. Also shoutout to the waiter for kicking us outside to finish our port after the two hours when there was 4 empty tables that was the perfect end to us spending £100 on a "romantic" dinner

What a brilliant experience. The best food we’ve had out in such a long time. The service was great and the food was something else. We also had 2 free cocktails and an ice cream as a birthday treat. Definitely my favourite place in Cardiff right now.

It's an amazing place. So special so atmospheric. I've booked a other 2 dates. I can't wait to go back and soak it all up again. We'll done designers you've done a crackin' job.

Lovely food and lovely old French theme , I would have given 5 stars but it’s cashless which is a shame

A lovely taste of France in Cardiff. Steak was cooked perfectly, the servers attentive but not pushy, the atmosphere was intimate and perfect for catching up with friends.

Very good and thanks to our waiter arush

The food, atmosphere & service were nothing short of perfection. We waited a year to get a table & it was worth the wait. Thank you all for a fantastic evening x

Very similar to a French bistro, Maison de Bœuf is a real surprise in the heart of Cardiff's arcades. Their steak is so tasty and melts in the mouth. Cocktails are a art of work. Service is impeccable.

Soupe à l’oignon was too salty and more like an onion stew than a soup. Very average and too thick. Bread was bad quality. There is a very good bakery close by, maybe they might want to get their bread there… Meat was drowned in the sauce. Meal was almost cold. Too many fries on a too small plate. Salad was drowned in the dressing. Salad dressing was good, proper mustard dressing. Service was ok. Deco and music were nice. Overall, not worth it. Unless the food get better quality.Very disappointed ☹️ I’m French, might be biased but I was really disappointed ☹️

Good food, small menu but just what you need.

Friendly staff. Great food and cocktails.

Needs another main option, steak was ok not great considering that's all they do.

Really relaxing environment. Steak was high quality, and chips/salad were generous portions. Service was okay. Wine, 2 courses for two around £80.

The most beautiful restaurant i’ve ever been to!! Service was absolutely incredible, the staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Definitely need to book multiple weeks in advance!!! The steak was absolutely amazing and seconds of the steak, fries and sauce were offered!!!

Don't go for the food if you're a foodie, or have spent time in France as you'll be disappointed. Stay for the value for money, quantity of food (you're offered more fries if you want them) and randomness of the place I'm Wales. We were scouting for new places to put on our Airbnb guidebook (we rent out our spare room occasionally) too but have decided to opt out of adding Maison de Bœuf as it isn't quite there yet. A few of our other independent favourites in the city centre were fully booked on Saturday night so we thought the time had come to attempt Maison de Bœuf. Luckily, we managed to grab a table for two outside in the arcade without a booking. The menu was very simple which is the norm in France and we ended up going for a full 3 courses. The meal itself is incredibly good value for money because the portions are very generous. We went for the 3 set course and had the French onion soup and cheese souffle, veggie and real steak and fries. I usually love esgargots but didn't want to risk eating them here and tend to stick to places I can guarantee source very high quality snails. I left feeling glad that I didn't take the risk, if quality of steak was anything to go by. The meal had notable rich flavours you'd usually find in French cooking but perhaps wasn't as refined as you'd usually expect when eating French food. It was definitely a case of quantity over quality and while the food tasted good enough I wouldn't hurry back to eat here. The quality of the steak wasn't very good and it was a bit chewy. The plant based steak was an interesting idea to include but the menu would be improved if it was replaced with a traditionally non meat French dish. It would be an OK replacement if you were cooking at home but I would expect something more creative in a restaurant. As someone who usually opts for the non meat option in restaurant it was predictably disappointing. The desserts were nice enough. The creme brulee was a little bit too bitter and I feel a profiterole works better when it's smaller as it loses the intensity of flavour when it's super sized. The size sacrifices flavour in order to be gimmicky. Idk. This restaurant kinda feels like a place that has been opened by people who aren't really into food that much but just like the idea of having a French themed restaurant? The atmosphere on the other hand was wonderful and the service was attentive. This establishment definitely feels like a bit of a theme restaurant which could be very fun if you went in a group or on a date during their jazz night on a Thursday. I also told my partner it might possibly be an ideal place to take someone before a Rugby game due to the thematic vibes and quantity of food. It isn't a place I would rush back to for the food necessarily as there are much much better offerings in the city centre for steak frites (Pasture or even a chain like Côte). I'd be very interested to hear a French persons opinion of the place. My impression is that they would be outraged or comparable to a meal at Whetherspoons for the British? Happy to be disproved though.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at this beautiful, romantic restaurant. Lovely ambience and delicious food! We’ll definitely be back!

Uncomfortable cafe. Nice atmosphere. Just the right place for a stop

Atmosphere is amazing. It was Rugby match day and it still felt very relaxing. Staff are perfect. Food is also 1st class. Will be back. M

We booked for a group of 14 in the private dining room which was beautiful and perfect that everyone could talk to each other. everyone enjoyed the food, especially the French onion soup and the cheese soufflé starters. Allergies and dietary requirements were accommodated as best as possible

Incredible food, the atmosphere was excellent and the service phenomenal. All of the food was perfect, both me and my fiancée agree. We had a wonderful meal here, and will be back.

Lovely quirky place, delicious food, and great wine, with the best fries we have ever eaten! Ever ! Xx

I am not a huge fan for French food . Onion soup was a bit overrated , but don’t get me wrong , it is good ! Steak was also reasonably good, they will give you a second round of steak . Overall it is nice and vibe is so good . Obviously the staff is very busy and kind of tense ..!

Wonderful dinner at this lovely French steak bistro. Food is exceptional and the set menu makes it good value. The cheese soufflé is amazing but the decadent French onion soup is something else. Fantastic steak and frites, made even better when they offer you another helping of both steak and fries. The apple tart tatin was excellent, as we're the profiteroles and creme brulee. Great service and lovely atmosphere - highly recommended.

Really wanted to try this place for ages. Finally got to visit for a belated valentines day dinner. The live music on a Thursday is wonderful and really feels as though you're in a little restaurant in France on holiday. The service was brilliant and we felt so looked after, special mention to the staff member who greeted us, was a male with longish hair (sorry I don't know his name!). The menu although limited, offers everything you'd expect and does not disappoint. My partner really enjoyed the escargot starter and as expected, the steak was delicious. Would highly recommend for a special date night and definitely go on a Thursday to enjoy the live music if you can.

Wouldn’t recommend. Staff great, food poor. Steak swamped with a tasteless poorly seasoned sauce/gravy, consequently unable to see or taste the steak and curiously the main course was served on a side plate.

First visit, pleasantly surprised, just like the real France, in all respects, loved it!

Very authentic. The tables are close together which encourages people to put their phones away and actually talk to each other. Very limited menu but what's available is very good. Ask about their private room if your a large group.

1 thing spoilt what was a beautiful experience. Food, decor, waiting staff, jazz band were fabulous. Upon leaving and paying, my partner approached a member if staff with cash to pay for the bill including a generous tip. The member of staff was very abrupt in saying that cash is not accepted and does he have a card. To which my partner replied no, I have cash and there is also a generous tip included. No acknowledgement or thanks for the tip. Then asked again, can you pay another way. To which my partner replied no. At no point were we made aware of the payment policy when making the booking over the phone or when we entered the restaurant. As cash is the only Bristhish legal tender it was reasonable to assume cash would be accepted. The staff member then asked my partner if I could pay. We both found this extremely rude. My partner was treating me to dinner and to ask me to pay was crass and rude. We left the cash removing the tip and will not be returning

That is not steak it's awful covered in a horrid sauce and crispy fries would not go back

Steaks were OK. I've had much better elsewhere. French onion soup was great and a huge portion for a starter. Place was boiling hot and cramped. Service was good.
