The best restaurants serving French food in New Forest South East

Great food both quality and selection. Cheese board to die for (sooo reasonably priced at less than the supplement other restaurants add for cheese on a set menu). Amazing wine list - reasonably priced, and with some gems not even listed. So many dishes to try when we get the chance. My only criticism would be the lack of soft furnishings - it was really full when we were there, and quite difficult to hear with nothing to deaden the sound. Great value for money.

Lovely but slightly pricey. Sadly, closing due to owner/chefs health.

Unassuming little cafe in Lyndhurst which we just popped in to as passing at end of a long walk. Had excellent coffee, strong and piping hot with fresh tasty scones. Very reasonable prices, lovely lady served us and spotless cafe. Little gem. Not surprised they were very busy.

Fabulous food & service, thanks to Richard for looking after us so well. Highly recommend

We were all disappointed with our meals Sunday 29th December………..during the summer we had one of the best roasts ever at Pebble beach restaurant so I pre booked a table well in advance for 4 people at 1:00 for this Sunday 29th December lunchtime, the restaurant was not busy but our meal was almost an hour late being served, when it arrived it was barely warm and the plates were cold, the roast potatoes were undercooked, the vegetables looked very unappetising, chunks of carrot, swede, turnip and green beans, the roast sirloin was cooked well but very sparse, two small slices, also we had to ask for the cauliflower cheese which when it did arrive was microwaved so hot we couldn’t even handle it, not cauliflower but broccoli and leek in a very runny cheese sauce. The waitress was pleasant enough but we were not asked if we wanted any other condiments, horseradish etc, when asked if our meal was ok we mentioned it was cold. We will not be recommending your restaurant as we have done previously

The 3.5 average review says it all. The most expensive bar in Lymington for drinks and the service is usually terrible. Perfect setting and lovely decor but I don’t want to be writing about that when reviewing somewhere; I’d rather be raving about quality service or food - this place has neither. Saved by one of the staff, Elysse, on more than one occasion. Without her, I’d probably be asking for a refund and giving the place a lower score.
