The best restaurants serving French food in England

Exceptional. We hired Paul from the Petite Chouette to cater for a full weekend for a family get together, including a 4 course private dining experience on the Saturday evening. The food was fabulous and Paul was a delight. He offered a selection of menu option as requested and catered for our culinary needs. The highlight was the private dining experience which also included wine pairings. Paul was knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. The food was amazing. We will definitely use the Petite Chouette again and after tasting the exceptional wine and cheese, I will be ordering a monthly subscription box.

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.

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.

Had their full breakfast which is the usual one of each (2 bacon) with a drink and toast. The portion sizes were acceptable but not generous, and it was padded out with too many diced potato pieces, as well as being slightly overcooked/overheated. However their Breakfast was certainly okay, and the accompanying choice of Tea was really good, and made over two full cups. On the downside the cost of £9 was expensive for what was served, especially in comparison to many similar venues. It was clean inside and the service prompt and efficient. Unfortunately it was also too chilly in there and needed to be much warmer to be comfortable.  

Los tacos franceses son lo mejor que le ha pasado a la escena de la comida rápida de Londres en mucho tiempo. Estos están absolutamente llenos de relleno y salsa. Me encanta la variación de cosas que se puede obtener y gran relación calidad-precio.

All things considered (including the price), this is, pound for pound, one of the best restaurants in London and it is nothing less than a tragedy that it is shortly going to close. I feel very bad (particularly now) that I have not previously left a review. We have been there many times (including with groups who had never visited before) and the feedback has been ubiquitously (and rightly) glowing. The food is sensational (and significantly better than in a lot of "fancier" places that would charge at least twice as much) and Jonathan is an extraordinarily welcoming and charming host who enhances everyone's experience. They were very unlucky with COVID and historically this location has been difficult for restaurants. The restaurant has often not seemed as busy as it ought to be (given how good it is) and I can completely understand their decision. But Chelsea is about to lose an absolute jewel.

Love to visit this cafe when I’m in the area visiting my family. Great food and drink at very reasonable prices in a relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff who always make a fuss of my grandaughter. A real community gem.

Booked last minute on Saturday evening for a quick bite to eat after a busy day. The staff were very friendly, seated us quickly, menus delivered quickly and food/drinks ordered pretty swiftly. The food was delicious! Pretty good value too . It turns into a cocktail bar with DJ playing music from 9,30pm so we had to make an exit as we had children with us (I wanted to stay ) but I’ll deffo visit again with girlfriends. 5 stars for me 😀. This place should be packed out at a weekend as it’s awesome !

La noche fue todo lo que no fue la cena en Kerridge’s el fin de semana. Un servicio encantador, atento e informal (observar a Madame amablemente le hizo saber a mi esposa que su filete sería mucho mejor medio raro que medio era una alegría contemplarlo) ; un menú corto y equilibrado con cada plato magníficamente ejecutado, lleno de sabor, en placas calientes de tuberías que mi abuela habría aprobado; pequeños toques que marcaron toda la diferencia (traer una jarra extra de salsa sin preguntar al observar cuánto lo estaba disfrutando mi hijo) ; compendiar nuestros digestifs sin otra razón que claramente estábamos disfrutando tanto; valor razonable en un mundo caro. Tres vítores para las Paulettes de este mundo, son pocos y muy lejanos.

This bakery is not what we remembered from pre-pandemic days. The sourdough is flat, and not very tasty any more. No idea what’s happened, but hope the lovely proprietors are all right. We made a special journey to get the best sourdough bread in Lancashire, and were disappointed by what was on sale, so sadly, I’m guessing we won’t be back again.😢

We had a wonderful lunch today full traditional Sunday roast, highly recommend. Piping hot, all homemade, fabulous find.

Sucedió a través de esta tienda de quesos, charcutería y vinos maravillosamente simple pero elegantemente hecho con un anfitrión amable y conocedor. Resultó ser el lugar perfecto para una tarde temprano ponerse al día con un amigo sobre una deliciosa tabla de queso y vino (té, para mí de hecho!). Fui por un pequeño plato de queso que estaba bien preparado y muy generoso por el precio. Mi amigo también valoró el vino.

After our first visit on Xmas day we booked again last weekend for the seafood platter. We had been meaning to try this for some time & it didn’t disappoint. Along with the amazing food the service was impeccable once again. Thank you all for an amazing evening, we’ll be back again soon.

I’ve only been for coffee and croissant but I’ve been more than once and whether you like records or not it is one of those places where everyone will join in a conversation. The focus is music as they sell Vinyl but the chef is French and the cost for food and drink very reasonable. The cafe/restaurant is in a parade of shops in a residential area so you can park outside although it is on a bus route. Some Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch times it becomes a pop up restaurant where you can BYO. Not for the romantic meal for two as this is a small venue with tables quite close together but I’ve been told by a friend who went there for dinner that everyone talks to everyone else and it has a good vibe. I image booking is required in the evenings but for breakfast; lunch or just a coffee and a browse just pop in and see.
