The best restaurants serving French food in East of England

I was in town with my daughter and husband, we wanted an ice cream and found this place was open. We should have actually walked straight pass, the hygiene is no existent. No one wears PPE, one employee walked in in his motorbike gear, didn't wash his hands and started handling food and equipment. He then late his friend into the food prep area so he could use the bathroom. The lady manning the tile, whist no prepping food, kept on touching her face. There are markings on the floor but it seems that it's just for show. They've obviously rushed to reopen but didn't bother reading the basic government's guidelines with regards to COVID-19. Avoid this place!!!

Lovely Sunday lunch, each course was delicious. Staff were very friendly, service was excellent Highly recommend

Had an absolutely fantastic lunch at Benedicts in Norwich with my wife. We went for the three-course set lunch, and wow—it was amazing from start to finish! The absolute star of the meal was Cod main. Just incredible. The wine selection was spot on, with plenty to choose from, and the staff? Next-level brilliant. Super friendly, attentive, and really knew their stuff. It’s always nice when service is this good. Every dish was explained to us upon delivery. If you're in Norwich and fancy a meal that feels special but still totally relaxed, Benedicts is 100% worth it!

The best steak I've had in Cambridge. It's delicious and not pretentious, with friendly staff and lots of natural light.

With the wonderful welcome from Tulip who continued in this light with service and attentiveness to the delicious meal with fine wine in a comfortable and ambient environment; a real treat. Will certainly go again and hope Tulip is on

Celebrated my wife's birthday in this beautiful little French restaurant Great food & service.we had the 3 course midweek menu with plenty of choice...would recommend for a nice meal out.

Lovely food but if they know it's a busy weekend they need to order more stock, but when ordering drinks I asked do you do a fruity cider got told no so she spoke to my disabled son of 31 years old like a child so he asked for coke when looking through drinks menu found a fruity cider so I cancelled the coke but she still charged us for the coke our bill was over £200 Keep a eye on bills

Just had a lovely business lunch at Cote St Albans. The restaurant has had a complete make over and reminds me of a typical French brasserie which is very welcome. We were served by a very professional, friendly and knowledgeable waiter called Nikhil. They were offering a good weekday offer on steaks, if you ordered two steaks you received a complimentary bottle of house wine! We ordered the cote de bœuf for two which was cooked medium rare to perfection, was full of flavour and very tender, it came with two sides of your choice and truffled Hollandaise, we upgraded our wine and had a very pleasant bottle of Merlot from the Languedoc region and they discounted the house wine from the bill total. The only very small complaint was that we had two bloody Mary’s, while they were very tasty unfortunately they did not have any Worcestershire sauce which was disappointing, however the manageress dealt with the matter brilliantly, not only did she take the cocktails off the bill but she also sent an email to head office asking if they could supply Worcestershire sauce to the branch. I seriously was not expecting her to do that and it was a very pleasant surprise. We will definitely be returning and I can only highly recommend the restaurant!

Tasty food. The chicken jalfrezi was my favourite!

The food is great but what we love is the service….a particular thanks to Dorian who has served us several times…always brilliant! My daughter’s birthday and we had Prosecco and pudding on Cote…lovely touches, much appreciated!

Cafe Rouge in Center Parcs Elveden. We had great food & the kindest, most polite waiter - Liam. Thankyou, it was an enjoyable experience.

Really lovely food, delivered at a good pace and friendly and efficient service. Thanks Kirsten! Really good value too

I had my plane-loving little boy’s birthday brunch here and it was fantastic. Great food, very easy to organise and we all had such a lovely time. Very much recommend!

My husband and I had a delicious vegetarian lunch in a delightful, cosy setting here on Friday, with friendly, efficent service. Great location just outside the centre of St. Ives with plenty parking, and fabulous, old country house style beautifully refurbished. We had tomato risotto and two wonderful puddings - an excellent chef! We were also grateful that our main waitress was wearing a plastic visor. (I do feel strongly about this when people are standing directly over us and our food - it is simple hygiene and good manners and I wish other restaurants would do the same.) Our only two points for improvement are: 1) please provide more vegetarian and vegan options, and label these clearly - we like a choice too, and 2) more people should be there - it is great!
