The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving French food

We visited here back in March as we'd been drinking at the Picturedrome. Last minute decision as the weather was poor, but what a pleasant surprise. Amazingly, it being a Saturday evening, there was just one other couple dining. I am absolutely delighted to see the reviews on here because they are so well deserved. All I remember was that the food was delicious and the chef came out between courses to deliver some tasty nibbles. He described his creation with a real passion. I have the bill and we had the onion bhajis and then the Saag and confit de poulet for mains. A nice bottle of Shiraz was £25. This review has reminded me I need to make a reservation sooner rather than later.

Love this restaurant. Very pleasantly surprised at the attentive service, superb food & good wine. Lovely atmosphere, lots of locals, decor of a traditional Indian restaurant. Large menu. All the staff were welcoming & the food was fab. It’s a great asset to Midhurst.

We were referred to the restaurant by our hotel receptionist and we weren’t disappointed. A small but charming place with delicious food.

First come last served, unless you’re a regular and you get your drinks before anyone else didn’t even have to order was brought to straight to their table. Not how a restaurant should be ran, first come first served that’s how it’s meant to work.

Service and food absolutely beautiful we loved the ambiance as well as food. Next time we are back in London we will be back. Thank you.

Visited here at Lunchtime and had the Full English with Coffee, The Food was nice and well cooked as was the other meal we ordered. Good value for money with two Breakfasts with Coffee coming to £20. The Venue also has a great selection of Cakes, a lovely French Cafe with table service and a nice setting

Such a shame they’ve closed So glad we had the chance to stay at this magical place run by a lovely couple & a slightly arthritic golden retriever. Best full English I’ve had & magnificent dinner. If you see this by some chance, you may be gone but aren’t forgotten. Simon Rhodes

A great breakfast on a lovely, sunny terrace We had an exceptionally delicious breakfast with high-quality ingredients at a good price for that level of quality. The cakes are amazing, homemade. They remind us of childhood and grandma's cakes. The staff is friendly, especially the owner, who is very kind and pleasant. We will definitely come back because they have the best breakfast in Emsworth.

We absolutely love The French Oven. Huge fresh selection to choose from and amazing customer service every time. Cup cakes for Mother’s Day went down a treat with the whole family and we’ve recently been to a birthday party they catered for and the food was outstanding, everyone commented on how good it was. Definitely worth a visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very posh venue, visited for a party and the set up was lovely and very modern and the food was very good and the atmosphere was amazing. Staff were helpful too

Fabulous food and great service, will definitely go again when visiting Penzance. Have wanted to go for a couple of years but never made it, well worth the wait and more than met our expectations.

The coffee was OK. My wife liked hers to be fair. Soy milk was very sweet. The service was appaling. Blonde haired, eastern European lady maybe in her 50s was miserable. I got my order wrong and she huffed and puffed about it. No "that's OK don't worry" just muttering under her breath. The sweet treats did look very good thoug!

This place was busy upon arrival at 18:30, but we get seated very quickly. The menu was limited, but out steaks were cooked as we requested, and the skin-on chips were cooked to perfection and were not greasy at all. Accompanying Bordelaise sauce was light and more like a jus than a sauce. The staff members were all friendly, attentive and polite. We will definitely go back.

I mainly work from home but to due to moving i have started working from local cafe's just temporary while we waited for our WiFi. I went in and had to wait for a rude lady which i learnt was the owner to seat me at my table, the table was so unstable, the pergola was not waterproof. I waited over twenty mins to receive my latte. When my food finally arrived they forgot to make my colleague food. Never been somewhere so unprofessional, unhygienic and inferior. Grotty rundown building in desperate need of a renovation and management change.

This was the first time I visited this place. On arrival, we found out you could only order from the Christmas menu, which is very limited. The quality of the food was very poor, and what you would expect from a budget cafe and the serving sizes were small. No matter what main course you ordered, you got the same roast potatoes and veg to share !!! Even a choice of new potatoes would have been better. If you just want a low end meal then this is for you.
