The best restaurants serving French food in Weymouth and Portland South West

Well we were booked for a surprise 60th Birthday meal on 22nd December 2023. Spoke directly with the restaurant to book & he phoned back to clarify . Just under before someone said they were shutting for Christmas & New Year - their last night was Monday 18th. I rang them constantly that evening with no answer, & I’ve rang them since. I have emailed them with out reply. I have never in my life had such poor customer service

Since early June, we have been to Les Enfants five times, all under different circumstances and for different reasons. The first was a family meal out with visiting son, daughter-in-law and grandchild. It was an absolutely splendid occasion, and Chef Eric made it his personal business to make extra extra sure that we had a fabulous time. He succeeded beyond anybody's expectations! It was my 8-year-old’s second visit, her first was when she was 18 months old. She was over the moon with her meal and awarded the chef a million zillion stars. This was the summer that grandchild was going to get to stay with grandparents for the best part of the summer. The second visit was scheduled for the three of us a week and ½ into her visit, as a special night out. Instead, a traumatised and exhausted two of us staggered into the restaurant, and I informed the wait staff, who had greeted us warmly, that my husband would not be joining us, as he had that morning broken both bones in his right arm and was still sitting in the A&E waiting room, after being there for hours after the hour or so he was in a more local urgent care facility. We decided that I should go with our kiddo to dinner, and we would touch base once he was either treated or admitted. The staff could not have taken better care of us. They prepared bespoke treats for my little one and brought her apple juice in a fancy glass and kept it topped up. The third time, again it was just two of us…I had returned our grandchild back to her parents at the end of her stay, and finally my husband could come home as soon as I returned from the 48 hour round trip to the states. Weeks later, when he was finally able to go out…this is where we went. We walked into to a warm welcome, and don’t you know, here comes Chef with a broken leg. Mid-September saw us return, this time with a visiting nephew in tow, and once again, great welcome, great service, great food. Chef, needing a time to really properly heal his leg, announced he would be closing up for the season at end of September, so we booked to come have one last great meal before he reopens next season. Rest up Chef! We look forward to our next visit! https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g190817-d10196317-r971654389-Restaurant_Les_Enfants_Terribles-Weymouth_Dorset_England.html#

Wow. That’s all I can say. I saw on Facebook a friend had visited here recently and we are visiting the area currently so booked it. Absolutely the most delicious seafood we’ve had in a very very long time. Oysters were divine, crab absolutely delicious and as we were being greedy we also had mains, skate and scallops for three with the most scrumptious sides. Desserts to die for. Service has been impeccable. So friendly and helpful. Even took the kids off to see the crabs and lobster (after they’d eaten - it’s not pick your own 😂). We haven’t left yet - is it wrong to stay on until dinner service?!

Tartiflette and Chablis - France on a plate (and glass). Beautiful place, attentive staff and yummy food and drink. Made a brilliant brunch / lunch.

We went in last week for brunch and had booked. The table was rather small for all 5 of us to sit comfortably as it was extremely hot, I’d ask waiter was if ok if we flowed over to table next to us - she said yes but was unable to clear it until she had served another customer which was fine although rather odd as she had just brought out our drinks and was going back that way. We had our brunch served few minutes later all looked fabulous unfortunately to my disappointment the hash royals I had did not have the smoked salmon which was main reason I’d chosen Everything else was cooked and tasted lovely but for nearly £10 you expect the full recipe I thought I’d just mention to waitress when she came to clear table from previous customers however she never did nor did anyone check if everything was ok. For spending around £80 for 2 children and adults on brunch I feel it didn’t quite reach the standard I expected unfortunately

Husband and I stopped for coffee and cake. The selection of cakes was substantial and flavours that I had not seen before. We enjoyed our coffee and cakes, staff friendly.
