The best restaurants serving French food in South East

Ordered 2 x breakfast subs thismorning, arrived earlier than scheduled really nice, and thankyou very much for the 2 x free cookies. Happy New Year!

I really can only say good things about Charlie's food, perfect timing and left our kitchen and everything used cleaner than when he arrived! (To be clear, Marriotts come to you, it's not a restaurant...)

Have one of the pies - they are fantastic. Excellent beer choice too, including local breweries

Perfect atmosphere, perfect staff and perfect food! We could not fault this restaurant, the staff were friendly and attentive. We had a great time here. Will definitely be returning!!

What an amazing gem of a place… booking process was simple and accommodating. On arrival the venue was buzzy and the atmosphere was perfect. We were offered a choice of tables and then the fun really began … our sever (Rob) took a genuine interest in making it the best experience possible, he took the time to recommend both wines (allowing us to try different varieties) and also food choices. We felt like part of the family from start to finish. Stunning food and wine, couldn’t fault any aspect of the visit. Great value for money for the premium items being offered. In addition the staff gave us recommendations for the remainder of our stay in Henley. Would recommend without hesitation!

I hosted my wedding party at City of Paris, and I was incredibly impressed. The organisation was seamless, thanks to the dedicated managers and staff who ensured my vision was brought to life. They not only met but exceeded my expectations in delivering a venue that perfectly matched my dream wedding. From seating arrangements to stage setup, everything was executed with precision, adhering to the program's timing flawlessly. The exemplary customer service provided by the staff left a lasting impression on all my guests, who were made comfortable from the moment they arrived. City of Paris not only provided delicious catering but also actively engaged with guests, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the event. Many of my guests praised the food, and some even inquired about using City of Paris for their future events. Having attended two previous weddings at City of Paris, hosted by my cousins, I chose it for my own wedding party, and it surpassed all expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend City of Paris as a venue; you won't be disappointed – they deliver beyond expectations. Thank you, City of Paris, for making my wedding party truly phenomenal.

It's close to the beach 🏖️. What will you expect. It's the coolest place you can ever be. I had a big breakfast, worth more than money. Look the owner is friendly, understanding. I will visit this place again and again. I loved it.

We celebrated our 35th Wedding Anniversary on 22 July. Everything was perfect, made better by Frankie, Beth and Yas who looked after us. Three people who have a magic touch! We had Chateaubriand and fries cooked to prefection by Stogan, Lonis and Giddeon in the kitchen. Thank you all for making our special day even better!!

My favourite place to go in Southampton, lovely staff, lovely drinks and the best atmosphere!

Stopped in on a dog walk for a quick drink mid afternoon on a weekday. Ordered a lime and soda at the bar. The not so friendly bar staff asked for £9. A little taken back l confirmed l ordered a soda and lime to which l was told yes £9 as they don’t have soda water on tap. I literally was shell shocked at the price. Another member of staff walked by and the bar staff asked to confirm the price. They responded with just charge for a cordial. Was then asked for £4.50. Left rather taken a back. Went to the pub across the road with friendly staff and paid £1.40. I dread to imagine the price of their wine and food!

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!

Everything is very well indicated, there is no way to get confused

Avoid at all cost, cafe rouge took my money and booking for an afternoon tea but the Windsor restaurant is closed and they won’t refund my money, booked via Buyagift and only after a complaint was my money refunded by buyagift, have complained to cafe rouge press office three times and no response very poor experience. Be advised that cafe rouge are still taking bookings but they have closed over twelve restaurants and still taking reservations for the closed ones.

Tracy and Karen were wonderful. It’s a shame that whitbread don’t take the brand further. It has such potential. The food was fine. It’s standard table table If you walk in knowing what you’re getting (chain restaurant. Good but not over the top wonderful food) you won’t be disappointed. I was using the premier inn meal deal.

I arrived at the upstairs bar and grill at around 5.15pm. It was half empty and I was approached by a man who I assume was the manager. I asked for a table for two, of which there were plenty. In a rather condescending tone he informed me that they were fully booked. I drew his attention to all the empty tables and was told rather abruptly and unapologetically that they would be occupied later. As it was not yet 5.30pm I think it would have been polite of him to perhaps have said, 'We are expecting a rush at about six o' clock, but you are welcome to a table until then'. After all they serve only drinks and snacks.
