The best restaurants serving French food in New Forest South East

Overpriced for average food, rude, aloof staff. Wouldnt go again. Dry chicken, cold creme brulee. Could go on but you get the picture. Not made to feel welcome at all

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

This is my favourite cafe in the village. The menu is good but flexible and the service is friendly. It has a small but nice outside seating area including a covered section. The quality of the food is consistently high and the salads are always fresh.

At the side of the Carey’s Manor hotel in Brockenhurst, welcome to France! Very friendly staff who gave impeccable service and delivered quality food. The decor is very much Parisian, the soup a L’oignon being the star of the show for me and my wife’s L’agnean main dish was sublime. Roll on when we return to the New Forest next year.

Excellent meal, great service, very friendly atmosphere. Mixed "a la carte" and Sunday carvery menu. Tasty bottle of shiraz. Lovely quiet table in fairly busy restaurant area. Would recommend. Will be back!

We have several breakfasts during our stay. Overall very good, great produce. Sadly our last breakfast this morning was a little disappointing. My husband found his (and my) bacon super over cooked. I asked, apologising profusely, if I could have an extra sausage instead (as couldn’t eat the bacon). Unfortunately the sausage came 20-30 mins after we received our breakfast (I’d assumed they weren’t going to do an extra sausage). We were packing up to go, plates already cleared away when a sausage arrived. Shame. Don’t know if it’s coz it was Monday… different chef or what. Left a little disappointed.
