The best restaurants serving French food in South East

As with many others Le Manoir has been on my ‘Bucket list’ for a long time. We finally went on my birthday (4th May) and it was everything I had hoped it would be. We didn’t stay but had accommodation only a few minutes away in a 17th century converted barn. On arrival we had champagne in the lounge while we looked over the menu. We went for the 7 course tasting menu and upgraded to the Wagu beef. We have to say everything about our evening was outstanding, the food was a delicious selection of stunning dishes that were beautiful to look at and wonderful to eat. The staff were outstanding in their professionalism but most importantly super friendly and just made us feel very welcome. It was a fabulous way to celebrate my birthday, I felt like a VIP! We said it was a once in a lifetime visit…. But I suspect we’ll save up to go again!! Yes it’s very expensive but it was SO worth it. Thank you Le Manoir.

The most beautiful pub with beautiful views, the friendliest staff and the midweek lunch time set menus are incredible not just in flavour but in terms of value too! Cannot recommend enough 😊😊

Superb as always. This was our 3rd visit. A special place for special occasions in a beautiful Riverside location.

Toilet stank so bad we had to move table. The prawn cocktail was unusual, but it was nice. The rest of the party had pasta, and it wasn't great. The price doesn't justify the quality of food. The server was nice they moved our table as we could smell the toilet from where we were sitting originally.

Just beautiful food. Fabulous flavour combinations, beautifully presented, great quality wine and the service was faultless. One of those meals that you keep thinking about for ages after you have eaten it. I had to try and slow up how quickly I devoured it so I could savour it for longer. I can thoroughly recommend it. ❤️

Fantastic food. Very nice restaurant and well worth a visit.

Incredible selection of wine. Specials were perfect for a warm spring day.

What a lovely place this is, with very friendly staff and some tasty but not too expensive wines, and they do some very tasty food as well. Happy to recommend and can't wait until we are back in Worthing so we can go here again.

A great family run business and a fantastic place to eat. I love the deli counter and fresh produce. Highly recommended 💜

We just had the most amazing dinner here - it was so good, I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu! We shared the crab won tong to start, then my friend had the chicken supreme for main, which was succulent and was served with a lovely potato fondant. I had the lamb rump, served medium rare, on a bed of babaganoush, and with a side of an enormous platter of tagine, unctuous with stewed lamb, which I shared with my friend. We didn't really have room for dessert, but with food this good, we didn't want to miss out, and my friend's crumble + ice-cream and my lemon meringue tart didn't disappoint. All washed down with a carafe of the house red, a full-bodied Merlot. Wow! Just wow!! Get there quick before everyone else finds it!

Best breakfast bun in Buckinghamshire!

Fantástica comida y servicio. Preciosa presentación y una buena elección de comida disponible. Pudín de café pegajoso y tarta de frangipane eran deliciosos.

A really lovely place to eat. The food was excellent and the service was excellent. There was no rush to eat which was really nice. My friend and I both really enjoyed ourselves. Well done.

After eight years we came again and we did well. The food was fantastic, the service was nice and prompt. The restaurant was full of guests.

Dinner was fantastic! We had a few distes and they were all really great. I would love to go back soon. 100% recommended!!
