The best restaurants serving French food in South West

We have been regulars at L’Artisan for many years. It was our absolute favourite restaurant and we were devastated when it closed. Yves was a magician in the kitchen; the food was always fabulous and imaginative, the presentation beautiful and the ambience wonderful. Elisabeth always made us very welcome, with hugs and kisses all round, as did Anna, their lovely waitress. It was such a relaxed atmosphere and we loved talking to Yves when he emerged from the kitchen to chat with clients. What shall we do now without you? Lesley & Roger

Lugar encantador, comida encantadora. Toda la experiencia se vio empañada por el hecho de que asumieron que daríamos propina, y también asumieron cuánto e incluyeron en la factura. Carecía de clase. Fuimos en agosto de 2023.

Oh I just love this place! We went last night for a Bastille dinner. The food was spectacular, I had a vegetarian Wellington which was absolutely delicious, except it was enormous,covered nearly two thirds of the plate and I felt guilty leaving some. My husband had a steak which was perfectly cooked. This place has a fantastic atmosphere. Small but perfectly formed and buzzing with happy conversation. Thank you Anita Claire for another great meal and evening.

Great food served in a lovely relaxed atmosphere- nice selection of menu options. It was the best steak that we have had in a very long time. Highly recommended

We had an incredible incredible experience at Rubicon Kitchen! The "tide to table" concept really emphasizes the quality and freshness of the seafood, which is nothing short of incredible. The chef owner Olly and hes staff are very friendly and attentive and we cannot wait to go back very soon.

This little restaurant is an absolute gem. The food is delicious and the French ambiance is wonderful. Ilona is so welcoming and attentive to her guests.

Una visita obligada en Bath! Personal encantador que es muy acogedor, increíbles pasteles y una gran selección de bebidas! Es el lugar más lindo para esconderse un rato y un buen lugar para la gente que mira.

I called in here recently and it is now under different ownership. I had a full breakfast and a cappuccino at £9.50. And very nice it was too. Note that the breakfasts are now served only until 12 noon. This is a lovely little cafe in a delightful (and listed) building in Trowbridge. Recommended.

I visited the legion with my nan,sister and daughter. We each had a starter and main meal. My daughter had battered cod and chips, which she throughly enjoyed. The food was very nice and presented well. Waitress was very friendly and helpful 💞 thank you for a lovely evening. Glad we booked it.

Creo que hay un par de listados de TripAdvisor para este café, pero estoy revisando el espacio cubierto de la carpa en el muelle para disfrutar mirando a ambos lados del anochecer, independientemente del clima. Inténtalo.

Pastries look lovely, unfortunately a lack of vegan options. There is one pastry, no savouries. This is a shame as other bakeries are way more inclusive. Coffee was lovely and environment is nice but absolutely freezing! It is undercover but it’s a temporary structure which doesn’t warm up!

We visit Brixham every year and always see this place when going to The Manor but never dared to go in as we didn't feel we knew enough about wine. However this year we decided to be brave boys and go in! SO SO glad we did! We both tried mystery wine flights and were honest that we would not be able to tell the grapes or countries, just which ones we likes. The owner was exceptional, he guided us on the wines, explained why we might like some and not the others, reccomended other wines to try based on the ones we liked and at no point made us feel "stupid" for not knowing the ins and outs of wine tasting etc. He reccomended a book to us which we have already ordered. The food is fantastic, just perfect to go with a bottle of wine or two, especially the manchego! We left very happy and with a bag full of goodies from the deli section along with a bottle of wine. CANOT WAIT to go back!!!! Thank you!

Disappointing meal to celebrate Christmas. Brussels sprouts were inedible. A guest opposite me tried to cut one and it landed in my lap. Wrote an email to say how disappointed we were and never received a response. We won’t be eating here again.
