The French Deli in Dudley

Used this place years ago. Dont think it’s the same anymore. Nice staff let down by poor quality food. Just had a breakfast £7.95. Sausages was cheap quality and the bacon was tough and over cooked. The hash brown was chewy and had a strange taste. Felt like it had been pre cooked and warmed in a microwave. The meal wasn’t hot when it was served to me. Beans were ok and the mushrooms were hardly cooked. All in all bad value for money. My wife had a jacket potato with prawn Marie Rose which tasted heavily of tomato sauce and a bit vinegar laden. Not what we expected and won’t be back in a hurry.

This was a real disappointment today. We went into day for a banana milkshake, chocolate milkshake and a cheese and beetroot sandwich and a baguette. The milkshakes arrived warm and thick and were not cold and seemed to be made with cheap powder and water, they were undrinkable. Both the sandwich and baguette turned up over 20 minutes later (we were the only customers when ordered our food), there was barely any cheese on either and way too much vingered beetroot. We paid £14 for an inedible lunch and drink and will certainly not be going back. A waste of money and the 2 young adults didn't seem that bothered. You need to get better staff and better produce if you are going to charge these prices. Milkshakes are meant to be cold, with milk icecream and flavouring.

My favourite place to eat when in Stourbridge. Good decaf coffee. Always good food and decent portions. Highly recommend. See you soon.

This place could be great but the service and portions for price let it down. Each time I've been in, the staff members seem disgruntled, distracted and aren't very friendly. My order has been wrong several times now and when I ordered a jacket potatoe with beans and cheese I was given literally two tablespoons of beans and barely any cheese. The prices are far too high for portion size and each time I've been they seem to get smaller and smaller. The ingredients seem to have changed and to me are most definitely not deli quality but the prices gabebt changed to reflect that. Unfortunately, I no longer recommend as it seems to have gone down hill.

Poor hygiene, very dirty interior.

I had hot pork sandwich worst I e ever had pork so hard it scratched my throat

Always quality products. Beautiful home made soup. A few tables inside and a couple outside.

Ordered panini and coffee from friendly, helpful staff. Panini was top-notch with excellent ham. Coffee was fine - I prefer a bit stronger. Good location to sit outside. Great value. Thanks!

Lovely smoked salmon bagel and cappuccino. Will definitely be back

Always have purchased the lasagne from here. I was so happy they opened again but very disappointed the recipe is not the same it didn't taste anywhere near as nice, the price has gone up... Understandable but the portions are a lot smaller. Bring back the old recipe please

Wife buys different things from here for our day trips .l just eat .l don't know the pompous names .but the food is very good indeed .

Excellent coffee and cake to take away during Lockdown 2

Fabulous baguettes and salads made with fresh ingredients in the perfect location in Stourbridge. Staff are friendly and ready to accommodate all tastes.

Popped in here for a takeaway baquette on my way home and it was sooo nice and fresh, staff lovely and friendly, lovely and clean, defo need to go again and actually sit and do a wee bit of people watching I so love independant coffee houses they are the heart of our country

Enjoyed coming in for baguettes and soup during college, super tasty and fresh. can’t wait till you reopen so I can visit again ❤️

Food here is BANGING. Always has been . 100% reccomend

Very friendly staff, very good sandwiches. What's the connection with the French!?

I like it here nice quality lunch

Jerk chicken salad. Best ever. So reasonable and very generous portions. Can’t wait to try more. Very busy - can see why. Excellent warm customer service too. 10/10

So lovely inside it looks amazing, wide range of paninis and baguettes and they have the soup of the day. Staff seemed friendly and willing to help.

Same old same old. Nothing special. Standard of food lowered from specialised home cooked food as it was !

Perfect service from the loveliest lady in stourbridge. Keep rocking those car boots x

A must for the fresh soup. Have to get some to take home everytime we are in Stourbridge.

A bit cramped. No serviettes. No toilets. Food good.

Small shop with very few seats inside, around 4 seats outside. Nice staff and the baguette I had was nice too

If you haven't been in you're missing out on possibly the best place to get lunch ever

Bought a number of lunches from here. Hot food is good. I can recommend lasagna in particular. The Baguettes are brilliant.Brie is amazing.

Huge range of baguettes, sarnies, sausage rolls, soup, cakes plus ready meals prepared by the outstanding French restaurant next door. The place to get lunch in Stourbridge!

Wonderful little shop, with fantastic staff and the food is delicious and incredibly well priced. If only it had more room for tables inside.

Gone down hill i think. Not as good as it used to be

Fantastic food really friendly staff would always recommend here best food in town 😁

Like a little part of France in the middle of Stourbridge,tres bon

We popped into the French Deli to try their lunchtime panini special, sweet chilli chicken. I can say without any doubt this won’t be our last time. Great food with very friendly staff.

Absolutely love this shop the food is amazing.

Always used to be great when Howard ran the place, but since then the place has deteriorated. Popped in today and they wanted to charge an additional 20p to heat my food. What is that all about?

Love this place only started going about six weeks ago, go in while my granddaughter is at dance, wonderful staff and food, sat talking with my mum and son a couple of weeks ago and my coffee went cold, no problems warmed it up for me

More of a Cafe than a Deli. Now have seats to sit indoors and eat too. Fantastic food and friendly service. Always seems busy which helps everything be so fresh.

Food really nice and reasonably priced. The 2 ladies that served me and my mate were really lovely

I love the salad boxes from here .. which is what I always have bit all the other food looks great too xx

Really good, fresh food. Sandwiches and oven baked jacket potatoes made up to order with home made fillings. All delicious, but you should expect to wait. The service is not fast. At lunch times I would suggest phoning and ordering ahead.

'Cheap and cheerful' is accurate for the former and generous for the latter. Fine for a quick bite, but that's about it.

Visited recently and was very surprised by the totally refurbished French Deli. It feels so clean, warm and welcoming. Food all looks really good and fresh, staff very polite and cheery and the addition of tables means you can sit in the warm and enjoy a drink or food. The French Deli were very welcoming of my toddler son and accomadated his picky needs with no bother. I loved the properly made lattes and hot chocolates. I'll definitely return to the French Deli especially with the changes made by the new owners, definitely changed for the better.

Fantastic staff who were very friendly and willing to help. The place is spotless and the food is very fresh and not expensive. A definite must.

Excellent friendly efficient staff. Excellent food good value.

We enjoyed our food at the French Deli, a couple of us had the leek and potato soup, which was delicious. We decided to eat outside because the weather was nice however a member of staff came outside and told us ‘these seats are only for paying customers.’ Her tone was very rude. One of our friends did have her own sandwich but we had bought food from them. We were very disappointed because we have many wonderful experiences there before, it was a shame a member of staff would be that rude to us.

Lovely experience. Friendly staff . Lovely shop

Lovely staff and great quality food. The range of choices and flexibility is amazing. They also have a range of student discounts.

They've recently refitted the shop and taken every last ounce of character out of the place. Awful. Modernised with a fitted kitchen in the corner of the shop! It used to feel like you were in a proper French delicatessen in France - now it feels like a chip shop.

Great food great coffee and now a newly referbished premises at give customers somewhere nice to sit

Called in by chance, so glad we did. Welcoming smile as we entered. Nice menu, vegetarians and vegans also catered for, plus they will make any combination you desire. Home made fresh soup, served in a large cup, they looked a little surprised when I asked for a soup spoon however found me one, got me some bagguette to dunk in the soup, also a homemade vegetarian cornish pasty, nothing was a problem. Will visit again when in Stourbridge.

Being going here for years. Best deli around. Homey feeling, dedicated staff. Great prices

Always friendly staff with decent food at good prices. What more can you say 👍

Lovely place to sit and relax.the croissant and latte are really nice.we have had the moussaka too delicious homemade😊😊

Plenty of choice on the menu, but we only really wanted a coffee: we settled for coffee and croissant (with jam and butter) for a more-than-reasonable £1.95 each. Very pleasant to sit and watch the world go by: will return next time we're in the area!

Really nice place and hand made food that looks delicious. Unfortunately I didn't realise they would warm up my sausage roll in the microwave, so it ended up all soggy and greasy. I'm sure some people wouldn't mind this, but it is the worst thing you can do to nice fluffy pastry as far as I am concerned. She also put sugar in my cup of tea, then insisted she hadn't, so I didn't enjoy my tea either. This meant I didn't enjoy my lunch and literally ate it because we had paid for it. However, my partner had a lovely panini and wanted sugar in his tea, so really enjoyed his lunch.

Nice Baguettes and good prices.

This deli is a great place to grab a quick lunch. From soup to cottage pie. It's great food on the go. It's great for students offering a 10% discount. But this does mean at the collages lunch time it can be very busy. But you wouldn't wait any longer than 10 minutes You can take out or there are some chairs to sit on outside.

Great value for money. The foods always good but it's popularity is it's downfall, you generally have to wait.

Great local deli. Always drop in for lunch, varied choice and fairly priced. Note: avoid the local 6th Form lunch breaks it can get very busy, call in early to collect lunch

Great food I only wish there were more places like this. Fantastic selection with quality food to match.

Great deli rather than a restaurant. Not a huge variety of produce but what they have is great. If you like cheddar cheese, try Black Bomber: delicious and creamy. We needed 50 vegetable samosas for a family party. Tried various alternatives - their's were by far the best. Their bread is delicious.

We order food weekly from these guys. Outstanding food / flavours and equal service! The best lunch money can buy in the area!!

I always buy my lunch from the French deli as the food is lovely and it is decent priced.

Inside looks a bit shabby, but the baguettes we had where authentic and amazing. For a small shop I was impressed with the selection. I say if you fancy something tasty and a bit different just go! The staff all seemed friendly enough

My wife and I have visited the French Delicatessen a number of times. The food is always very nice and a reasonable price. There is plenty of choice so everyone should be able to find something they like. They provide a quick and tasty lunch whilst in the town.

A really delightful place, staff exceptionally helpful and friendly nothing too much trouble. Food delicious especially the lasagna. Really cant fault. Quality food at affordable prices

We visited here today for lunch during our visit to Stourbridge.

We had reserved a table. I would advise anyone going to do this as it can get busy and its not that big an area.

Lovely little shop in a quiet corner of Stourbridge who in my opinion provide quite simply the best sandwiches, delecasies and other food of the highest quality. The friendly staff will make up your order fresh as you wait and you can be assured of an excellent experience. Love the place!

I'm a local and I come here regularly to get lunch. I always normally get the £2 baguette of the day as it's the cheapest option in terms of baguettes, but they also do really nice looking pastas, lasagnes and paninis. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat, definitely one of the best places in Stourbridge

I'm a student from a local college and I absolutely ADORE this place!

This is a great deli! Fantastic place to eat, great range of meals and lunches prepared from scratch and at reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

I visit the French deli at least twice a week, the runny egg sandwiches and Brie pannis are amazing. The Danish Toblerone Cake and Rocky Road are my favourites ! The food is resonably priced and the staff are very helpful and welcoming . I'd definitely recommend it .

Customer service is lacking not a smile amongst the team, pot luck who gets served as there seems to be 2 queues so you just get a muddle of customers looking confused. Food is usualy nice however pasta today is soaked in mayo making it feel greesy instead of clean and fresh.

Great food consistently. Come here regularly for lunch when I'm in Stourbridge and it's always delicious food. Wish I could come more often.

I've had many a lunch from The French Deli and I can highly recommend them, my personal recommendation is to try the stilton and red pepper baguette - my favourite. To be fair everything here is high quality. The soup is delicious too - I particularly like the leek and potato.

Have used this deli ever since it was opened by a genuine French food-loving chef and his wife. Superb from day one. Still maintaining the high standards it sets across the broad food range in which it specialises. Superb vegetarian lasagne (large and small). Our cousins takes home to Wales half a dozen large whenever they visit. Supplies tea sourced from a high-quality small producer/importer in Somerset (Miles of Minehead). Look 'em up on the web - try 'Smugglers Blend' or 'West Country' for a different experience. Haven't experienced anything negative about this little West Midlands bakery gem and we shop there almost every week. Try their Spinach Filo pastries for a superb lunchtime snack - you'll be back for more.

With a wide variety of food to offer the French delicatessen never fails to disappoint if your looking for a quick lunchtime snack or ordering a buffet for a function or celebration I can honestly say this is the place to go I travel to collect there food it is that good. With a zest for taste and presentation I have found the ingredients to always be fresh and of high quality and they have the customer service most companies would wish for, there is an air of the old fashioned way of being a shop keeper here so without a doubt if you are in the area give it a try I promise you won't be disappointed .

First and last visit lasted less than a minute. A simple question - "what do you have for vegetarians or vegans" (I do diary but no meat or eggs) perplexed one member of staff, and another said "without going through all our cheeses I can't tell you whether we have any vegetarian food for you".

Been here a couple of times, just what you would want in a small friendly French Bistro. Good food, good wine, Extremely freindly and informative service and very reasonable price.

Wonderful venue for lunch. Ate here today with an old school pal. French onion soup was delicious, followed by a fish pie and bread and butter pudding. All washed down with a bottle of Fitou. Excellent food, excellent ambience, excellent food. What more does a man want! Highly recommended.

Always up for going here for a sandwich, they are amazing!! Lasagne is great too! Made freshly in front of you, reasonably price too!

This is a great independent family-run café, serving sandwiches, paninis, baguettes, soup, pasta and other hot meals such as lasagne and cottage pie. They have many offers and deals on, particularly for students who get 10% off as well as introductory discounts. The staff are very welcoming and they provide seating outside on sunny days. Certainly recommend.

I highly recommend popping in here if you are nearby for a snack or light lunch. All the food is freshly prepared and tastes delicious every time. You can buy sandwiches to home cooked foods such as lasagne, and they will even hear it for you. Another great thing is the value for money!! I really do recommend you pop in!

Food is always fresh and tasty, staff are friendly and hardworking, loyalty card state is great, a brilliant local business :)

Friendly and Fresh, best baguettes in town. They all know what they are doing - Have been going for years. Rupert

Been here a few times and always had a great service. The sandwiches are fresh and good value. The breakfast sandwiches are also particularly nice. The best by far though is the pork pies and take home lasagne!

On the night my partner asked me out, 29 years ago, we visited the French Deli and bought pretzels. I used to go there a lot because i was a student and the pizza they made was a real treat.

Have popped into the french deli a few times over the last 5 years, the range of lunch time treats they offer is fantastic. Always a little pick me up when I feel the need to treat myself to something a little different.

Staff so friendly and extremely helpful. I collected a lasgna for six people and it was absolutely delicious, never tasted better and everyone commented on how fab it was. So easy just pop it in the oven you have no work to do, you can even take your own dish.

Love the quality of the food so much here! My favorite part is when you walk in the door the smell of the homemade food is just divine! The quality is always great and the price is good.

Special place for excellent food. Light and easy in the day. Very special at night. Exceptional for event nights. Not cheap but very well worth every mouthful.

I must be missing something here.

The French Deli is a wonderful place to eat! They offer a lovely menu with something on there for everyone, from soups and sandwiches to wonderful lasagnes. It is a fabulous place to eat in, with a great ambience and friendly and helpful staff. I love bringing home a lasagne (veggie lasagne is to die for!). I love the way that daily specials are put onto Facebook daily and choosing a 'customer of the day' is just genious! Thank you Howard and staff for such a wonderful eatery, I love it!

Fast and friendly service,always go out there way to cater for your needs. I am a regular customer and have never been disappointed.

What can I say? A truly fantastic place to eat whether you sit outside or take your food away...Such accommodating and friendly staff who cater for your desires.. A great menu with daily changes to keep your taste buds tantalising.....All the staff make your life easy until you have to decide on what you eat and if you cant decide they will prepare to your individual taste.... We really love the home made lasagne and Chilli its to die for............

All I need to say is fantastic ! Good food , friendly staff, reasonably priced , good variety , just Great !

You have got to try their take home ready meal, Seafood Lasagne, it is absolutely delicious, lots of fish, prawns etc and much lighter than a beef mince lasagne, ask Howard (the owner) nicely and he will even prepare it in one of your own dishes, we then freeze it and keep it for an impromptu supper with friends. Don't attempt to pass it off as your own as you will get caught out when your friends ask for the recipe.

Looking for the best lunch in town, look no further! Just one visit to the French Deli and you'll know why Howard and his team have queues of people stretching out of the door some days! All made fresh the deli offer sandwiches, soups, jackets and also many other delights over the counter! Pop on down and see why this little shop is one of the jewels of the town!

The French delicatessen is my go-to on a daily basis. The proprietor and staff are all so friendly they make me smile for the whole day. They inject a lot of fun into their work and the customers enjoy going there. The food is absolutely to die for...especially the sausages. Keep up the great work guys!!
