    Slightly dated but comfortable decor, although the stairs are in need of repair. Had the taster menu, first three courses were very good. Unfortunately the halibut was dry, which may have been intentional, such as dehydrated but presented more like freeze burnt. The main was nice and tasty but not amazing, nicely cooked but not sure it was the best cut. I would not bother the wine paring, not as complimentary of the meal as you’d expect. However £150 for a taster menu and wine course is good value, just not sure if I would be going again.

    The service was professional, well-informed and friendly. The food was excellent quality and variety and we loved the unusual wines that accompanied the courses. We thought it was very good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

    The French Table is a neighbourhood gem serving beautiful innovative food together with a well thought out wine list and great cocktails. It is not pretentious and the service is attentive and definitely always with a smile. A special place to enjoy a lovely meal and I would highly recommend this restaurant which is worth every penny.

    Great to eat at an independently run restaurant, which still focuses on pure quality and service - excellent food, ambience and service.
