Le Bouchon Brasserie and Hotel is a grade II listed, 300 year old Georgian building which has undergone an extensive refurbishment programme restoring the building to its former glory. The renovation period was used to combine some of the original period features of the building with furnishings and classically styled decoration that complements the original style of this house.

Le Bouchon Brasserie offers a blend of both French and British cuisine, set in a relaxed and intimate environment. Enjoy a meal from our A la carte menu or choose from our wide selection of set menus available at different times during the week.

    Best restaurant in Maldon. Excellent food, lovely and clean and very attentive staff. Just the perfect amount of time between courses and never feel rushed. The 3 course deal on Sunday afternoon is amazing value and the kids loved their food too! Highly recommend this place!!

    Food was ok, well presented but not massively tasty. Service was very slow with some requests completely forgotten.

    I booked a valentines meal a month in advance for 8pm. We arrived on time and were asked to sit in the bar while they got our table ready. After waiting for an hour we were finally seated at 9pm! The food was average consisting of small portions that seemed as if they had been plated up for a while before being served. The service staff tried their best but seemed overwhelmed by the amount of diners present. I expected better for £75 per head! It was obvious Le bouchon had crammed in as many people as possible to cash in on Valentine’s Day and the overall experience was disappointing.

    We went for diner on Valentine’s Day and appreciate this was always going to be a busy night but unfortunately it took so long to be served. It was 35 minutes before anyone asked us for a drink. My wife’s main was luke warm and by the time it got to desserts where the order still hasn’t been taken, it was 10:30pm (our table was 7:45pm). It was too late for us by then so we gave up and asked for the bill. The food on the whole was very nice, the staff were friendly and apologetic but really it tainted the whole experience. The place was so over booked and the restaurant couldn’t cope, so it screamed getting as many covers as they could over service which I think is poor. We’ve been before on quieter days and it’s been very good but this really disappointing.
