The best restaurants serving French food in East Midlands

I had the most amazing seafood bisque. Look out for their midweek offers and lunch menu too as they are amazing value. I wish we lived closer this was our favourite meal of our holiday

Great experience, really accommodating! Manager & Rachel our server was amazing. We even went back for breakfast the next day!

This has changed hands recently and it’s brilliant. We went in for breakfast and it was delicious and so different from the big standard. Cant wait to come for cocktails!

Visited here on a night in Thrapston. First class in customer service and food. Never had a better meal. We were welcomed and it was packed, no wonder, glad we booked. There were a few waiting on tables and they were efficient and entertaining.

Really not worth a visit.Ordered a sous vide pork shoulder which arrived at the table as tough as leather. How the cooks managed that in a sous vide i have no clue. Sent it back and was sent an overcooked steak in place of it. Left.Typical chain restaurant garbage. Just walk on past, as to be completely honest you will be better off at Mcdonalds.

He visitado este café dos veces antes y tuve una experiencia encantadora en esos momentos con buena comida. Visitado hoy para un desayuno de cumpleaños. El servicio fue increíblemente lento y esperó 15 minutos desde la primera persona que se sirve a toda la mesa con comida. Las frambuesas con mis tostadas francesas también estaban mohosas, así que las dejé en el plato. Nadie preguntó cómo estaba nuestra comida y cuando le pregunté si el último plato estaba en camino de salir, me dijeron que sí y que todavía tomó otros 10 minutos y que no era como se describe en el menú, pagó adicional por el helado que no vino. Entendería si estuviera ocupado, pero había 4 / 5 personas más sentadas. Increíblemente decepcionado y no creo que voy a volver ahora debido a que los productos están en el lío que era.

I have dined here on four occasions and found the first two to be excellent. However in September my husband and I had dinner and we both felt the food was well below standard but gave the benefit of the doubt that this was a one off. I dined here on the 25th with a friend and sadly the food was even worse than the time before. The Goan monkfish curry looked stunning on the plate but unfortunately the fish was dry, overcooked and lukewarm warm and the rice was equally tepid. I had no option but to send it back. My friend had the lamb which again was overcooked and dry and the portion was very small. I wonder if the food is pre-cooked off site and is then just heated up in the kitchen. Thank goodness the bread was tasty. On a positive note Daisy our waitress was very professional and extremely apologetic. I was very disappointed that the Maitre de did not acknowledge the issue before we left. Would I recommend this place to eat, no I wouldn’t. Serving food of this standard I can see why the hospitality industry is struggling.

Five friends and four guide dogs enjoy there night out. It is so nice to be welcome into a restaurant that doesn’t make you feel a Burden because of the dogs and sit you hidden away. Made to feel welcome by all the restaurant staff that look after us. Meal and evening excellent

First visit to the cafe, would never return! From the get go it was a nightmare booking was difficult, turned up looking forward to afternoon tea with a friend and was sat in ‘the lounge’ which was freezing cold. when I advised manager Amir he tried to fob me off and when I persisted it would not be an enjoyable experience to sit in the cold he said he would see if he could get some hot water bottles…these were never given and he never returned to advise this was not possible. Waitress who initially served us was unaware of what was given in an afternoon tea and therefore we missed the mocktails at the beginning and half way through reminded about these by this time we were drinking our hot drinks. Sandwiches came with basic dry bread even though menu states brioche, barely any filling in the sandwiches more chutney and few shreds of cheese, salmon sandwiches were half filled and half empty. we requested 2 fruit scones to be given one plain and one fruit again both very dry. You get 1/2 samosa per person! We left leaving the plates mostly filled due to the poor food…when we brought this to the attention of the waitress she came back saying her manager was not available but having spoke to him he would allow 10% deduction. I stated this didn’t seem fair and then spoke to Amir who shared that it was our opinion, previous afternoon tea experiences had not felt the same and that he would not deduct anymore as the director would not allow this. He blamed chefs and waiting staff for failings advising that she was in training and then said it was unfortunate as they had a bigger booking at the same time as us hence our experience! ( why book so many people if you can’t manage). Amir offered for us to come back but having been so rude to customers I really would not want to pay another visit to the cafe. I was told that the director would come back to me on my compliant…never to hear anything!
