The best restaurants serving French food in England

Visited on a wednesday evening with husband and two kids. The service was delightful and the food was out of this world! I had salt and pepper squid to start, it was the best I’ve ever had in any country. We also had a scallops started and a smoked mackerel pate starter that were equally delicious. The kids loved the garlic prawns wrapped in a fillet of plaice. Monkfish in a peppercorn sauce was a revelation and the thai red seafood curry was heavenly (just the right side of a chilli kick). Desserts were good too! Highly recommend this charming little place.

Oh I just love this place! We went last night for a Bastille dinner. The food was spectacular, I had a vegetarian Wellington which was absolutely delicious, except it was enormous,covered nearly two thirds of the plate and I felt guilty leaving some. My husband had a steak which was perfectly cooked. This place has a fantastic atmosphere. Small but perfectly formed and buzzing with happy conversation. Thank you Anita Claire for another great meal and evening.

Brighton has a lot of good restaurants but this is head and shoulders above anything else. Probably the best we’ve ever eaten anywhere including Michelin stars. Service is fantastic- friendly and attentive without being intrusive. It was hard to pick a favourite dish because they were all so good

1890's Beautiful surroundings with very welcoming staff set the scene for a fabulous lunch of delicious & superbly presented food accompanied by great wine pairing & service. Looked after extremely well, thank you to the whole team for such a wonderful experience. If you get the opportunity you must go.

Lo pasé muy bien aquí celebrando el cumpleaños de un amigo. Las bebidas, el servicio amable y la música estaban a punto, ¡así que 5 estrellas bien merecidas!

I have been coming to this place for over two years now, I like the warm welcome and I tried most of the French and Caribbean menu. I am not a great eater but must say that all of the dishes are my favourites!

Vine aquí para celebrar mi cumpleaños con mis amigos y fue una hermosa noche saludable. El personal era genial y Niall nos atendió muy bien. ¡Gracias!

What a great little place this is - a real asset to the high street with an interesting menu and wine list. We were there on a very busy Friday evening and staff were working hard to serve everyone with drinks and food orders. We had a bit of a wait for our food but, in the meantime, we enjoyed a bottle of wine and we got chatting to a couple of ladies on the next table - it's that type of place, friendly and informal. Our sharing platter was fabulous, I love this idea of a bit of everything on a plate! All in all, a great evening and experience. Our only disappointment is that we don't live nearer to De la Terre - we'd be frequent diners if we did!

Es agradable encontrar un lugar que permanece abierto un poco más en un sábado, personal muy servicial, agradable y paciente , a última hora del día pero una maravillosa selección de comida disponible, incluso con gente que viene constantemente. Can Hartley recomienda . (solo desventaja no hay crema para el café pero leche azul disponible. ) Justo lo que esperas encontrar cuando estés fuera de casa y necesites ese pequeño impulso. Grandes pasteles y Saverys y una gran selección de pan. Una visita obligada para cualquiera que viva local o visite la zona.

This place is very close to our house. We buy cakes from there for all the occasions. Cakes are always fresh and tasty. They also do breakfast and coffee. I recommend this place.

As with many others Le Manoir has been on my ‘Bucket list’ for a long time. We finally went on my birthday (4th May) and it was everything I had hoped it would be. We didn’t stay but had accommodation only a few minutes away in a 17th century converted barn. On arrival we had champagne in the lounge while we looked over the menu. We went for the 7 course tasting menu and upgraded to the Wagu beef. We have to say everything about our evening was outstanding, the food was a delicious selection of stunning dishes that were beautiful to look at and wonderful to eat. The staff were outstanding in their professionalism but most importantly super friendly and just made us feel very welcome. It was a fabulous way to celebrate my birthday, I felt like a VIP! We said it was a once in a lifetime visit…. But I suspect we’ll save up to go again!! Yes it’s very expensive but it was SO worth it. Thank you Le Manoir.

Overall experience was reminiscent of the chef’s previous restaurant, Gordon Ramsay. It was good but over-hyped and certainly not on a 3 star level. The sauces were unbelievable however. Beyond that, the food and pairings were good but not incredible. Still, both the service and atmosphere were lovely.

Lovely service, superb food and wine across the whole range (from sides to mains, wines to desserts) and a beautiful cozy ambiance. We always stop by when visiting Newcastle :)

Beautiful decor, fabulous food and presentation with knowledgeable courteous staff. Will be returning

Wow! This was a fantastic treat. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, great service, very reasonably priced indeed for the excellentquality… what a discovery Muse is. Will definitely go back. Thank you for a brilliant lunch.
