The best restaurants serving French food in England

Best brownies ever. They are gooey from inside and crunchy on outside. Perfect flavour and sweetness.

I love coming to this French Bistro for Lunch, Dinner or Coffee. Waiters are really friendly and both Managers currently doing a great job. Good beers and wine as well as you would expect.

Classic French food. Great value, great taste. Three of us had the 3-course theater menu each. Particularly liked the mushroom soup, beef bourguignon, chocolate tart, and crème brûlée. The salmon app and sourdough bread were just ok. Ambiance was gorgeous with perfect warm lighting, just the right amount of noise, and elegant interior design. Chairs/seating is a bit tight for larger people. Staff were attentive, friendly, and hard working. Packed on a Monday night so make a reservation. We’ll be back.

The staff were absolutely lovely and the place was so nice. I had the roasted pheasant and it was really delicious. I would recommend the March Hare to anyone who's looking for a nice meal to share with family/friends!

The food was divine, the service was in most part very good. I think our waitress went on her dinner break half way through so we were left in a kind of "waiting to order dessert" limbo for a while. However, I got uncomfortable about half way through the meal as they put the heating on and I was sat right below the fan which made me very hot. It was a very nice restaurant though and would recommend again.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious freshly prepared food, my favourite restaurant.

Really cute spot, Sunday roast was lovely, the lamb was the nicest. Staff very attentive

I was really looking forward to visit the place after seeing the menu online, but sadly when I arrived to the restaurant there was at least 5 different dishes, if the menu was the same of the one online I would have gone for the 10 courses menu but opted for the 8 instead, which felt like a gimmick anyways because they count the canapés, pre dessert and petit fours as a course, and the cheese course being a shortcut to avoid cooking an extra dish, so in the end I really got 5 courses and paid for 8, I think they do this with everyone. The canapés and the 3 savoury courses were great, but the pre dessert and dessert were really disappointing, not really creative and the dessert left me only with a taste of basil even after the petit fours and a bit of wine that I had left. The service was friendly but sloppy, the tablecloth was dirty and I noticed even before seating but didn’t want to make a fuss out of it. Then I’ve been asked for water twice and got even the wrong one 🤦🏻‍♂️ To order food was way quicker than ordering wine which took like 15 mins and they literally had 5 tables in the room, also the waiting between the courses was way too long, which means that either the front of house or the chefs are very slow. The wine list is embarrassing and as a sommelier myself seems like a set up to rip you off, there’s not a single bottle of wine under £90, also the wines by the glass they have a gap from like £25 to £40 to £125 which is insane, no half bottles either, and for my firsrt glass of wine they didn’t even offer me to taste it before, despite the wines I ordered were both a good value and the guy who served it was decent and had some knowledge. In all this I think it was the owner sitting next to my table with some friends and drinking wine instead of worrying about the mediocre service they give which is not worth of a Michelin star, probably they are just retaining it because they have it for long time and know the people of the guide. 190£ for just myself for that menu and 2 glasses of wine is absolutely not worth it and I won’t recommend anyone that has eye for details to go there. The room itself looks so old that saying that the place feel like is stuck in the 80’s is generous. Feels bad to leave a review like this, in first place because I work in the industry and I never like to talk bad about other places, and because the staff were friendly and offered me also a glass of white wine to go with my cheeses, but after what I spent I feel like it was absolutely outrageous for the food and wines and the only taste that stays in your mouth is bitter. Also for some very weird reasons after the review the owner tries to follow me from his private instagram account probably trying to write me something. He never moved from the table as he stated in the answer and he had about 2 bottles of wine while on duty. Manager apparently that doesn’t know what a salsa verde is made of, letting guests order anything and then go and amend the order which is very annoying, another lady nearly placed my water bottle on the butter plate and so on I can go ahead for 4 pages. This place is completely pitiful and the owner is the most embarrassing and unprofessional I ever seen in my life, drinking while working and also trying to contact people. Avoid at all cost, mediocrity masked for class, which they won’t have even if they will but.

Fantastic restaurant. Yet another great meal at Brasserie Blanc Bournemouth. Signature G&T and Caramel espresso martini to kick off the evening Me - escargot, moulds, him French onion soup and pork rib eye. Staff are always so friendly and helpful and just lovely. Food is always amazing. We tried the Ivy but it pales in comparison- all the decor and noise doesn’t make up for Ivy over cooked scallops and cod! Brasserie Blanc is a real gem.

Food was divine, service was friendly and welcoming. It felt like we were really in France

Very nice food, atmosphere was great, and service superb. Roxanne was very very polite and carying.

The food is fabulous. It gets quite loud though.

The food is reasonable and the staff were fine but be aware of the pricing. We were charged £15 for 5 popadoms although each are on the menu at £1.50 each. The manager pointed out that they charge £1.50 per person for pickles and the tried to convince me that all restaurants in Cheltenham do the same.I knew this was not true. Also, the drinks were expensive at £5.50 for each bottle of water and £7.95 for a bottle of beer. It appears that they make the menu look reasonable for the food but rip you off for the extras.

Lovely place with great staff, food was good and very reasonably priced, decor was great fun!!

Popped in for breakfast and found a vegan cake so sat and ordered drinks. Excellent to have a nice looking vegan cake! Nothing vegan on the menu but a lovely member of staff offered to remove items to veganise it. I would have opted for a higher rating except they still charge the full price. They are surcharge for non dairy items & hot tap water is £1.50. Excellent location just a little behind on inclusivity on the menu.
