Best French Restaurants in Bolton

Caught up with an old friend on my birthday Great service, very attentive staff and fabulous food

We were celebrating an anniversary made all the more special from the wonderful service we received from Melanie and the rest of the staff at La Plume. Upon arriving we received a complimentary glass of champagne and a handwritten card on behalf of the staff congratulating us on the occasion (lovely touch). The overall experience was un-rushed but attentive and the food was terrific. Enjoyed a great bottle of Bordeaux with our meals (wine was half off after 9 PM). We will definitely return.

We loved the atmosphere, decor and the service. Unfortunately, however, our main courses were disappointing. To their credit, the staff discounted our cheque.

I was supposed to have lunch in a different place and saw Ricarda's on my way there. When I got to the place I really didn't like it and made a quick reservation to Ricarda's. I am so glad I did! The staff was wonderful, the place was beautiful, prices were approachable and I could talk to my friend instead of shouting over music. Really loved it, I would 10/10 recommend

We had a wonderful meal here after the opera. I had the Icelandic cod and my husband had the braised lamb. Both were excellent. The Hollandaise sauce with mine was light and delicious. The accompanying vegetables with both dishes were not overdone. Even the olive bread was hot and delicious. Don’t know why this great place was not full on a Saturday night. Great value for reasonable price!
