The best restaurants serving French food in England

This is the second incarnation of this space I have dined in - the previous was called the Gilbert Scott. This time the venue seems calmer and quieter - a rare thing for London restaurants these days. Soft furnishing and comfy deep seating - we stayed to chat after our coffee was long gone. But I found the menu a bit of a challenge - probably down to me but nothing really shone out so I end up with a starter and a further starter for main. It seemed to all work ok. So all in all a pleasant place with a little work needed on the menu. Staff seemed busy and a bit distracted.

Fuimos a comer el domingo, que era absolutamente delicioso. Hermosa carne de res con deliciosa verdura, especialmente el gratinado de puerro. Todos tuvimos principal y postre, así que no puedo comentar sobre los entrantes. Definitivamente vale la pena el dinero y solo los buenos modales me impidieron lamer el plato. No soy bebedor de vino, pero mis compañeros de comedor estaban contentos con el vino y siempre estoy feliz con G & T. Excelente servicio y un ambiente encantador. Sin duda volveremos.

Having moved into the area 2 years ago, we’d been meaning to visit the White Lion as part of trying all the local restaurants. The staff were very friendly indeed and made us feel welcome. We had a drink in the bar whilst we waited for our table to be made ready in the restaurant and were called about 20 minutes later to go in. Having waited a while I had expected that the restaurant must’ve been full, but it wasn’t, less than half the tables were occupied which made the wait a little strange, not a problem, just odd. I ordered fish and chips and my wife their burger. Whilst both the fish and the burger were nice, they were both served with soggy chips, the kind that you get when the oil used to deep fry them just isn’t hot enough. I get crispy chips with my £4.95 fish take away from the chippy across the road, so at £13 per mains we’re talking top gastro pub prices for which getting the basics right isn’t an unreasonable expectation.

Llegó y descubrió que Garrotte ya no existe. True Advisor es lo que debe ser revisado - es vergonzoso que su sitio no ha sido corregido por la omisión de Gargotte de los listados.

Like so many we hadn't dined out in a long time and my clever husband suggested to sulky me a mid-week local pick-us-up treat. I can only say wow. We loved Ceres when we last visited in 2019 but the tasting menu tonight with matched wines was out of this world and a steal at the price. Deservedly Michelin-recognised cuisine with such a friendly and professional face (just two young women currently run the whole outfit including single handedly chef-ing and wonderful front of house). Ceres is walking distance for us and we are grateful because it is a destination-grade restaurant. Fine dining for £48pp.

Have been here before and had such a great time, always good music and singers. On this particular night there was a young lady singing older songs, was a breath of fresh air, what is her name and when will she be back????

Mi primera visita aquí. Precioso menú con un montón de opciones, un montón de GF, WF, SF, NF. Gran lugar si tienes alergias. Tomé una leche Moon, con muchas especias encantadoras y una galette salada de mermelada con fruta y frijoles negros. La señora de la tienda cero residuos era tan amable y hay un adorable beagle también. Sin duda volveré.

One of my favourite places to go for a crepe with my children. Been coming here regularly for a couple of years and it never lets me down. A shame the place is so small but it is well worth going to and in summer one can eat the crepes on Richmond Green which is 25m or so away.

Really great oat milk latte, served by a friendly, cheerful guy despite it being 3am. Very clean and welcoming. Thank you!!

Excellent restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. This was the second time we had visited and is was as good as the first visit. Really excellent original menu and great service.

El personal y el espacio son increíbles. Se sirve muy rápido pero definitivamente es demasiado caro. 3. 10 por un pequeño café con leche? !

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

Excellent service, lovely coffee and cake,food is always nice with a good choice, a good range of drinks. Nice relaxing atmosphere in the snug area, and dogs are welcome

Acabo de comer un kebab de pollo de Butcher and Bab and OMG, este fue uno de los mejores kebabs que he tenido el placer de probar en mucho tiempo, un sabroso y jugoso pollo, con una fresca selección de ensaladas y una gran salsa de chile. acabo de saltar a mi lugar de kebab número uno en Londres Excelente comida, excelente personal amable Gracias de David
