    Still our favourite restaurant in the world. What Sarah and Eric don’t know about fine dining hospitality isn’t worth knowing. Perfection every visit.

    A fab restaurant. We go every year for our birthdays. You need to book well in advance as it’s very popular. Not necessarily cheap but excellent value for money and innovative food. Great attention to detail both on the menu by the chef and also by all the staff.

    We went for lunch for our wedding anniversary, as it is our favourite restaurant, and decided to have the tasting menu. The meal began with a complimentary, delicious butternut soup. Every course was beautiful - beautifully cooked and presented and the amount of food was very well judged. The wine pairings were very well matched and, when I said I didn't like chardonnay, another wine was willingly chosen. Service was friendly, but professional and we weren't rushed at all.

    I have always found the food and wine at the French Table to be outstanding and the attention to detail is amazing - the welcome was warm and sympathetic, service was prompt without rushing and without being obsequious, wine was at the perfect temperature ( both red and white) portions not too big not too small… tasted amazing throughout… Of course this is not cheap but definitely worth it for special occasions !
