The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving French food

Visited on the last opening day of Brasserie in this academic year. We were seated by t he window, probably because there were not many customers on the day. The window tables have a lot of sunlight when the weather is good. Our waiter was a final year student and informed us that some observers are watching their performance. Afterwards a teaching staff also came to explain the similar situation to us. Our waiter was polite and courteous. We ordered soup, code fish as appetizer, lamb rump and sea bass as mains. The food presentation was good, but taste was just acceptable overall. The soup, the sea bass and the lamb were on the salty side. Price wise it is more with the market level and did not offer significant concessionary price. However, we did make some donation to help the student activities on our way out.

As we’d planned a visit to Highgrove we decided to stay in Whatley Manor as they had this restaurant, which we hadn’t previously visited. We both went for the a la carte option. It was a good choice. What made in more special was that my wife asked if they could offer a fish main course and the chef kindly offered to cook her turbot. Which is one of her absolute favourites. Big tick! As you’d expect the food was superbly cooked as well as beautifully presented. My wife said her turbot was sublime. I opted for the lobster mains. It was lobster three ways. It was just quite delightful. I’d say the best I’ve EVER had in all the Michelin starred restaurants we’ve been lucky enough to visit around the world (including in Maine). On top of that the sommelier also kindly went the extra mile with her advice, help and service. Overall it was a lovey, lovely experience.

Fantastically tasty waffles. Extensive vegan menu too. And fresh, raw juices. So pleased we stumbled across this place (it doesn’t pop up when you search for breakfasts on Tripadvisor) - we got lucky to find it and enjoyed a great breakfast in a delightful venue with welcoming staff.

Had a lovely time the food was excellent, the staff were amazing and the prices were good. I would definitely recommend this place and looking forward to coming back again soon.

Chose from the amazing selection on the Specials Board and it did not disappoint - I can confirm it tasted as good as it looks!! - Crispy Halloumi, Moroccan Couscous, Mint Yogurt, Pomegranate Molasses & Flatbread. ❤️🍽️🫖

We stayed in Melrose at The Townhouse at the end of our UK holiday and this was probably the best place we stayed! It was just lovely. The room we had was huge with a lovely big bathroom and the bed was just dreamy. There was no road noise and the location was ideal being right in the heart of Melrose. The breakfast was terrific with lots of choice and the quality of the food was just ideal. Honestly, this is worth every cent!!

I love this cafe - the food is fantastic and the staff are really kind and hospitable. Will go again for sure.

Tartiflette and Chablis - France on a plate (and glass). Beautiful place, attentive staff and yummy food and drink. Made a brilliant brunch / lunch.

Mientras que otros lugares de Cocotte suelen ser bastante buenos, este establecimiento en particular carece de la visión: la comida era sosa, nuestro pollo probó y parecía la tanda recalentada de ayer, la sopa de pollo, aunque abundante, definitivamente tenía el sabor de cubos Maggi, la condensación de aire acondicionado goteaba en los platos en algunas de las mesas, el personal estaba limpiando el piso de forma casi permanente y todo el restaurante tenía una sensación de una comida rápida deteriorada, absolutamente no gestionada ni mantenida a la altura de los estándares de Cocotte. ¡Lamentablemente, terminamos en casa con un ataque de diarrea explosiva! Un asunto costoso, con nuestro almuerzo tarde terriblemente decepcionante que cuesta más de £ 90. -

My wife and I dined at the Angelus on Friday 20th Aug 2021. The restaurant is one minute from the Royal Lancaster hotel and also Lancaster Gate underground. We had starter and main course and were so full we could only share a pudding. My starter was butternut soup and my wife had the scallops, both with traditional baguette and both very tasty. For mains we opted for the boeuf bourguignon which was fantastic: lots of tender beef, vegetables firm and not cooked to a pulp, and a lovely rich gravy. For sweet we shared Pear Belle Helene, pear with chocolate sauce and caramel ice-cream, again beautifully cooked and presented. The wine list was extensive and we selected a bottle of Crozes-Hermitage which went particularly well with the main course. This is my 1st ever Trip advisor review, but I felt I just had to share this 'secret' restaurant. The whole meal was absolutely delicious with attentive service throughout. The pub itself used to be frequented by Churchill before closing, so nice to see the building retained and still full of character. We can't wait for an excuse to go back!

Wow what can i say, this is the first time coming here as we were visiting my parents who have recently moved here so they treated us to a meal for my birthday. The food and service was by far a 10 out of 10. All freshly cooked food and decent portions for the price too. I had the Sticky Chicken for starters 🤤🤤and a Chicken, Ham and Leek Pie for main course which was well filled. I loved the deco and how comfortable the crushed velvet chairs were which made it even more comfy. The whole place was clean and inviting to everyone. All the staff we were in contact with with so bubbly and friendly, especially the owner? Who took our order and the lady who waited on us too. The only niggle for me was i was to hot but thats personal preference as im never cold and was sittinf by a radiator. Such a lovely pub its a shame its going to be closing ☹️

The 1906 restaurant is of course situated within the 5 star Turnberry Hotel, and these surroundings undoubtedly enhance the whole dining experience. The hotel itself luxurious and is situated in an outstanding elevated position with stunning views. On arrival you may choose to enjoy an aperitif in the comfortable bar area before heading into the restaurant. We were there on a Friday night and while enjoying a well presented and delicious gin and tonic in the bar, we were unexpectedly treated to an entertaining talk on the ‘haggis’, followed by a rendition of Burns’ ‘Address to the Haggis’, by an impressively dressed piper who also entertained us on the bagpipes. Guests were offered an ‘amuse bouche’ of haggis, neeps and tatties, presented in a small shot glass. Afterwards we entered 1906, the hotel’s formal dining room. This is a beautiful and spacious room with huge windows which frame the outstanding views. The tables were impeccably dressed, as one would expect. The staff were knowledgeable, thoroughly professional, and warm and friendly; without being inappropriate or intrusive. They have perfected just the right balance. My right arm was in plaster, after recently breaking my wrist in a fall. I was struggling to cut my perfectly delicious venison. Our waitress noticed this immediately and discreetly offered to assist me. My husband had noticed at the same time and took the task in hand, but I very much appreciated the waitress’ kindness and attentiveness. The food and wine were excellent and beautifully presented. Our whole experience at Turnberry compared well with the best of restaurants and hotels internationally, though of course it retains its distinctly Scottish ambiance. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and would certainly recommend.

Good view to clubhouse , Ailsa craig and golf course and light house , from restaurant , Expensive place for food and drink . Food was reasonable. We got a good deal to stay there , but cost of drink and food makes up for cheaper accommodation in winter rates .

Amazing afternoon tea with a French twist. Delicious savoury and sweet selection. Brilliant service too. Will be back

Great location and attentive staff helped set the tone and mood for a positive and profitable business meeting.
