The best restaurants serving French food in England

The bar is lovely however the food is a complete rip off,it is basically frozen processed food like that you can buy packets of for a pound from local freezer shops like iceland etc. I will go back but never to eat

Came here today for a catch up with friend. The food was amazing all 3 courses. The price was really good for the food we had. Throughly recommend this place. We attended at lunchtime no problem getting a table as it was quiet. Thank you chef and the lovely girl that attended to our every need with food and wine recommendations.

I was very lucky to stumble across this lil gem in the very heart of Bath. Super atmospheric and the choice of wine by glass is excellent! And thanks to lovely Anetta I ordered a baked camembert with honey and boy that was a perfect dish for a cold rainy lunch! Will be back and definitely recommend

Absolute find! loved this place, great atmosphere and fantastic music, a must to visit!

Una experiencia para recordar, pudimos degustar gran cantidad y variedad de platos con un maridaje perfecto.

L'Ortolan was formerly a really fabulous place in a lovely setting. Sadly it is now closed and will probably be sold. On our last few visits it was looking very tired and in need of some investment and maintenance work on the building and decor. Very sadly the whole experience has gradually gone down hill, the food was still pretty good, some of the staff were excellent but the real attention to detail and the feeling of being exquisitely looked after had gone. It's obviously been fading away slowly over the years but we have some very happy memories of it in the past. Sad to see it go.

Ordered from here every time I crave a sweet treat and they never disappoint. Just got a banana shake but added peanut butter 10/10 highly recommend 🤩🤩🤩

We called in to Rustique quite late on a Saturday evening after going on a Ghost tour of York. We were welcomed in and shown to an upstairs table. It was everything we needed after a chilly Autumn day. The staff were great and the food was delicious. The prices , although not cheap, were reasonable for the quality of the restaurant and food.

Having visited the Harrogate branch many times (sadly now closed), we had no hesitation in booking at Cirencester. Wish I’d read the reviews beforehand. I think if you’re a regular, which it’s clear many people were, you’re ok and warmly welcomed. Otherwise it’s a perfunctory welcome and nothing else until the bill is requested. The food was poor. The hake was a small tail end piece and was very over cooked. The broccoli was two tiny pieces and the peas were shrivelled. The accompanying fondant potatoes were so over cooked the middle had disappeared. Really don’t understand why restaurants serve such tiny veg portions. Would I go again? No.

Have been coming here for years with my partners parents, food has always been excellent but sadly when we visited in December the food was terrible and the service slow which was understandable as they were packed, it may have been better to not have so many covers. My scallops were cold and swimming on a bed of peas which were not hot, worst scallops I have ever had, also looking at the reviews i'm not the only one. The chicken was dry and the potatoes were cold and almost inedible. The fish dish was also dry and tasteless, all in all a terrible meal and if it hadn't been for my Mother in Law I would have sent it all back. My partners steak was excellent though and our waiter was lovely. I have since been offered a bottle of Crement when we next visit, won't be taking that offer up!

Amazing pub with delicious food ,nice beers ,friendly service ,we will be back

Extremely good service from Alex, and the manager. I pre ordered drinks for a birthday celebration, which was brought to the table as a surprise. Service was amazing, attention to detail and friendly staff. Thank you Alex and team. I always enjoy my visit to the restaurant.

Great service and délicieuse food, maybe best restaurant of Hélène

We went here as we had Tesco vouchers which I think a lot of people had and this may explain the prices for the food you get. You had to pick off the a la carte menu, I had Beef Bourguignon for £18.35 which contained two pieces of beef and a large amount of beefy mushrooms on a bed of mash. It looked very meaty but only two pieces. The King Prawn starter was nice at nearly ten pounds. There was quite a wait to be served as there seemed to be a changeover from the breakfast to the lunch sitting and someone from the kitchen staff ended up running out with the starters. If I did not have the Tesco vouchers I would not have been very happy at the prices charged, but the restraunt is still getting those full prices for the vouchers used I presume. The thing is you would never visit again based on the price for the mushroom Bourguignon and also the Cesar salad which was about £14 and you had to pay extra for chicken.

This was our usual, pre-Christmas, family get together at BB - albeit minus grand-daughter but plus, for the first time, the family dog, who was well looked after Orders were taken promptly - by the waitress we had met on previous visits - and the starters appeared at the expected time. Then we could tell that something had gone wrong - as our 'mains' of those and other diners, did not appear. Eventually we learnt that there had been a genuine medical emergency in the kitchen - causing a 30 minutes delay. That gained our sympathy but a much earlier explanation would have been a good idea. Starters were fine - being of the usual quality but unfortunately there were aspects of the 'mains' that were not up to the usual standards - presumably due to the disruption in the kitchen. In fairness, to compensate for the delay, we were offered desserts 'on the house' but could not risk missing a train or being late for the school pick up respectively, plus the dog had been very patient for longer than expected to be needed (as had we known about the 30 minutes delay, he could have had a walk between courses) - so had to decline. Despite the issues, we did still pay the usual gratuity - as the problems were not down to our waitress and it must have been difficult for the kitchen staff with the head chef having to go off site in the middle of service.
