The best restaurants serving French food in East of England

Daughter’s ordered an afternoon high tea for five of us. Was seated very quickly and our sandwich orders were taken. The service to bring us drinks was a little slow, but that said it was extremely busy in there. Once we had received our pots of tea and sandwiches which were absolutely delicious, we were brought out two cake stands filled with scones, cakes and macaroons all of which was fresh and delicious. There was so much left that we all brought boxes home with us. There was so young man that served our table was very smiley and polite. Lovely place to go out too. Thank you all for such a super experience. Will be returning very soon.

Absolutely lovely. Hidden away and tbh we were a bit thrown by the location lol but the seafood, service and ambience was outstanding. Will definitely return!

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.

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

Made several visits just love everything about the place.

This was my first visit and it was fabulous. I did find the place hard to find, however, it was very close to Jarrolds on Exchange Street! I received a very warm welcome and was offered a choice of where to sit, opting fo in the window. My vegetarian dish of butternut squash tarte tatine was adjusted for my preference and together with the side salad was absolutely delicious! Atmosphere very comfortable and service by Thereza excellent! Service charge added on the bill.

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.

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????

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.

Always a great place to eat , friendly atmosphere, great staff and delicious food . The 2 or 3 set course menu is also very good value .

A fine dining restaurant in a lovely old building with beautiful views overlooking a lake. Food quality and presentation is excellent; probably the best in the area. Service now is friendly but a lot more relaxed than it was many years ago. Despite the lovely views, the decor in the restaurant feels really outdated. And the choice of 80s pop background music is quite bizarre. The lounge area, however, is much more stylish and great for a pre-dinner drink. Drinks outside on a warm summer evening are also a pleasurable experience.

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.

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. .

To the point, this place meets all expectations if you get to know the menu before hand. Don’t expect surprises, just a good mix of service and gourmet food what equals my quality standards. Enjoy !
