The best restaurants serving French food in East of England

Rue Gourmet nails it with exceptional service – the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel like a VIP. Couple that with their outstanding food and coffee, and you've got a winning combination for a delightful experience. John

Steak wasn't all that great. The chicken was poorly seasoned.

Loved this restaurant Christmas day dinner was lovely would definitely go back again

A little cosy restaurant visit on a rainy day in Norwich. After walking through torrential rain Coté was a welcome stop. Food was amazing and was served quickly. Very quiet for a Saturday but we don’t mind this - sat in window and watched the world go by. Very welcoming too. Thankyou Coté

As always, our trip to The Secret Garden was a delight. A warm welcome, friendly and professional service. A relaxed ambience and, of course, delicious food, accompanied by a lovely wine. The Secret Garden’s secret lies in the reliability and consistency of its delivery of a high quality all-round experience. What a delicious, delightful way to spend over two hours on a Friday afternoon. Thankyou.

We ordered two mains and two desserts from the online menu for our Sunday lunch. The food was glorious in quality and quantity and was presented in sensible cardboard boxes.

Visited The Old Moot House for the first time to try their new smokehouse menu. Firstly the welcome was extremely warm and genuine, and we chatted over a drink in the bar whilst looking at the menu. There was a good selection to choose from, and we opted for the smoked meat platter. It was phenomenal! The quality of the cuts was excellent and the flavour simply delicious - the meat just melted. The sides were very nice, especially the potato cakes. Unfortunately, I didn’t leave enough room for dessert, but will be back to sample one (as well as a cocktail, when I’m not driving). Highly recommend this charming restaurant.

Arrived here a little randomly, but completely charmed. The decor was exotic and our server was wonderfully helpful. We had a massive ham and pineapple pizza, halloumi tacos, chicken & chorizo tacos, humous, and bruschetta. Every dish was generous and extremely fresh - nothing taken from the freezer and fried or microwaved. Although we never return to Luton, this place is worth a visit. Our 14yo says “just say it’s FAB”

Have been here before and had such a great time, always good music and singers. On this particular night there was a young lady singing older songs, was a breath of fresh air, what is her name and when will she be back????

Realmente no puedo culpar al pan, pasteles y salazones. La quiche fue una de las mejores de la historia. El café está bien. El servicio puede faltar un poco, mi café estaba frío porque el miembro del personal estaba charlando con su amigo. Comida excelente, el servicio al cliente podría ser mejor en la sucursal de Newnham.

I flew out Wednesday afternoon and was served by a lovely lady who i think was called Rebecca. the coffee she was lovely with beautiful details on top and the toastie I had was delicious. Would definitely come again.

What's not to like about the Arlington, once again a superb meal, we often have lunch at this restaurant and it never fails to impress, quality of food is excellent, staff are so obliging and friendly, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. Top marks to all involved in running this restaurant.

Can’t say enough about how good the food here is . Top class will use this restaurant again for dinner

Buena comida honesta Somos una familia de 5. En dos visitas probamos y compartimos todo el menú! Todo sabía excelente. Jakey obviamente ama su profesión y sabe lo que hace. ¡Altamente recomendado! Tener una fiesta por sólo unos kilos. .

Another great meal at Auberge Du Lac, from the minute you walk in the door you are made very welcome, with the friendliness of the staff you know you are in for a relaxing evening. We got here very early at 5 pm as we wish to enjoy the views before it got dark. So the waiter asked if we would like the courses to be spread out so we get more atmosphere when other tables are taken. The food is amazing, from the welcoming snack and the hot freshly baked bread to the desert and coffee in the lounge with petit fours. We had the Wednesday supper club deal so the bill only came to £110 with a bottle of wine, this is fantastic value, we always treat going here as special, but at these prices should go more often, I am spending more than this in pubs. Very much looking forward to our next visit.
