The best restaurants serving French food in England

This family run french patisserie has been making our birthday cakes for the last three years, and they make exceedingly good cakes, that look and taste fantastic and at a reasonable price, and with great service and professionalism. It is a pleasure to do business with them and i would happily recommend them. 😀

Saint Jacques is a lovely restaurant. Staff were helpful and welcoming. It is not a tourist restaurant. I had two appetizers (grilled scallops and mushroom soup) that were excellent and plentiful for a dinner. The Crepes Suzette was fabulous! The noise level is low which allowed for us to have a quiet conversation.

The menu may not look exciting, but the service is superb, and the quiche, calamari, toasties are all truly excllent, served with a wonderful salad with watercress, courgette silices, tomato and avocado. The pâtisserie is worth driving hours for, I have rarely encountered such fine lemon tarts, just bitter enough, but with citron written on the top in dark chocolate to enhance the lemon. There are many lunch options in Southwell, but this is memorable.

Have visited multiple times over the last few years. (Scared wasp lady) Last year we visited Looe just to come to this place. The owner is fantastic and always makes you feel welcome. One holiday we visited everyday for the crepes and affogato (served the Japanese way). I’ve just seen that this place has now closed and we’re deeply saddened. I hope the owner is well and is doing bigger and better things. Thankyou for the crepes and coffee ❤️.

We're visiting from Leigh-on-Sea and staying in a local airbnb. Our host recommended this restaurant, and she wasn't wrong. We were welcomed by I presume the owner, and he was fun from the start. The food was delicious and served by 2 lovely girls. I can't fault this restaurant it's a proper old-fashioned Indian restaurant as we used to get down South with a free drink after the meal and a cobra with a takeaway. Just lovely! Don't stop what you're doing it works ....thankyou 🙏

Great food and great service always

Was really impressed with this little place. This is an old school type traditional curry house (think red carpets and 80's plates), so if you're after an atry-fartsy fusion Indian cuisine place, this isn't it. The food was TRULY exceptional and the price was very reasonable. It's bring your own bottle, but there is a shop next door if that concerns you. All in all, a high recommendation from a fellow foodie.

We ordered two mains and two desserts from the online menu for our Sunday lunch. The food was glorious in quality and quantity and was presented in sensible cardboard boxes.

We went into the Ivy not knowing anything about it but it looked inviting from the outside and it was cold and rainy and an awful weather-wise day. How pleasantly surprised we were. It seemed to be snooty and stuffy but wasn't. Beautiful atmosphere and the food was delicious. My friend had the 1917 Menu of starter and main: Salmon Rillette with avocado, salad and rye bread and main of Shepherds' Pie. I had a starter of roasted scallops with creamed spinach and potato puffs. The cost: no more than what you would've paid in a neighborhood cafe. And the rose colored ladies' bathroom is beautiful!

This little French restaurant is becoming one of my favourites. I have now been several times and the food is consistently very good. The service is quick and very attentive and the pace is very relaxing. I do think it is nicer for lunch as at night it is full and quite noisy.

A great restaurant worth visiting. Fairly spartan minimalist decor, the food is very good as is the service. The menu, albeit a little limited, nevertheless offers some great dishes which are flavoursome and the wine list is also quite extensive.

I'm a long standing Customer, eating in or out, today it was coffee and fries outside with my little dog, driven to leave by 2 people vaping, clouds of the most obnoxious smell. It was awful, the cafe needs a no vaping/smoking policy outside too. I did mention to a staff member but!

Had an amazing Bottomless Brunch at Jolie Chelsea. Received excellent service from Cat, delicious drinks from Joshua, what might be one of the best burgers I’ve had from the chef and the DJ was spinning some tunes. Mrs and Ii had a wonderful time, we’ll defo be coming back ☺️

Du jamais vu, une restauration de très mauvaise qualité, un chef qui se prend pour ce qu´il n´est pas.. La raclette de très mauvaise qualité, une charcuterie très moyenne.. Je vous deconseille completement.

Also das Restaurant ist sehr edel eingerichtet und das Menü wird Gang für Gang sehr schön präsentiert aber aus was das Menü besteht ist mir persönlich etwas zu experimentiert worden.Geschmacklich interessant aber manchmal zu viel des Guten.
