The best restaurants serving French food in East Midlands

Exceptional. We hired Paul from the Petite Chouette to cater for a full weekend for a family get together, including a 4 course private dining experience on the Saturday evening. The food was fabulous and Paul was a delight. He offered a selection of menu option as requested and catered for our culinary needs. The highlight was the private dining experience which also included wine pairings. Paul was knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. The food was amazing. We will definitely use the Petite Chouette again and after tasting the exceptional wine and cheese, I will be ordering a monthly subscription box.

Booked last minute on Saturday evening for a quick bite to eat after a busy day. The staff were very friendly, seated us quickly, menus delivered quickly and food/drinks ordered pretty swiftly. The food was delicious! Pretty good value too . It turns into a cocktail bar with DJ playing music from 9,30pm so we had to make an exit as we had children with us (I wanted to stay ) but I’ll deffo visit again with girlfriends. 5 stars for me 😀. This place should be packed out at a weekend as it’s awesome !

I visited twice on one day, once with my Mum for coffee and lunch (amazing savoury crepe, and loaded fries), and again later that evening with a friend for a cocktail. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and lovely food and drinks

The food is prepared at the chef's home and either collected or delivered, if desired, within a 10 mile radius of Torrington Rd, Wellingborough (free if order above £30). My husband is I ordered beef bourgignon, Dauphinoises potatoes, Ratatouille and puree aux trois legumes. It was absolutely delicious! Total cost £35-90p and worth every penny. Delivered freshly cooked on the day but reheating required (20 mins in oven to table dishes). We also received a complementary seasonal Gallette des Rois together with information sheet about the Epiphany custom for which it is made. Menu is on-line, orders phone or online. Excellent!

We’ve been twice and the food is wonderful. They have to set up everything for kitchen and tables from scratch each week, as it’s an experiment to test demand, using a local cafe premises, which I find amazing. We had starters of scallops with pork belly and crackling, rabbit terrine, then duck and venison. Stunning. Good wine too. Definitely recommend if you love well cooked, beautifully presented food. Not expensive either.

My favourite place for lunch when I'm in Market Harborough 💖 great coffee too! And hot chocolate 🍫❤️‍🔥

Jampacked, crowded, no seats - I love it here. Fantastic atmosphere to have a little dance, didn’t want to leave but we needed to eat.

Unfortunately very disappointed (apart from the service). We were looking for somewhere to go and eat dinner, so we saw that they say they offer "dinning" and thought to try it. We also saw the menu they mention here and it's not the one they offer. The menu was just with appetizers and a few desserts. We asked the waiter and instead of telling us "sorry, we don't do dinner anymore, just bar snacks" he said that people usually order many options. Unfortunately we decided to stay and order because we were hungry and didn't want to spend more time looking around for a place to eat. The only things that seemed more filling were the 2 types of "kebabs" and the Margherita pizza. We ordered one of each of the kebabs that on the menu it said they are 2 pcs each. What we received at the table was too funny, 4 tiny kebab bites each in a metallic dish. And then we tried them and we were literally on fire because they were both extremely spicy! There was no mention on the menu and when we asked the waiter he said that they already know that the chicken ones are (why don't you tell people when they order? Why is it not written on the menu?). They were as helpful as they could, comped us one of the 2 kebabs. We ended up going somewhere else afterwards for dinner...overall I would not recommend unless it's just for drinks

Was let down by another restaurant last minute and they fitted us in. Fantastic service and the food was amazing!!! Definitely recommend

This was our second trip to the restaurant and our expectations were generally met in almost every area. The onion soup was full of flavour. The chicken meal although nice was slightly underwhelming in taste. The 12 oz steak was an absolute highlight ( be warned it is a lot to consume along with the soup). The sticky toffee was nice and as it was my partner's birthday they done a nice job with the sparklers I provided. The resturant was quite full with others using the groupon options. It would have been nice to give my partner a complimentary birthday drink. The champagne in the glass when it was first bought was slightly flat and had to be returned which was slightly disappointing.

Booked a table for a Saturday night by calling 3 days earlier which was very easy. Arrived 5 mins early and very pleasantly greeted by manager who guessed my name. Table for 4 was spacious and we were presented with a jug of freezing cold iced tap water and menus. States and mains ordered along with a bottle of red wine. Food came in good time and was delicious. We declined deserts and went to the till to pay the bill. After a little mix up this was sorted. Very nice experience and will return/recommend to others.

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. ❤️🍽️🫖

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 ☹️

Very good value for money, big portions, great price, bring cash.
