    Another visit to our favourite restaurant, where the quality of the whole package never fails to please. We generally use Bouchon for special occasions and if you can get a table upstairs overlooking the abbey the experience is even better. Excellent food, professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff who are overseen by the owner/manager all enhance a great night out.

    Went to celebrate our wedding anniversary & the whole experience was great. Staff remembered to bring us a glass of champagne on arrival. So many great dishes on the menu we could have ordered one of everything. Would definitely recommend that people try this place as we enjoyed it so much.

    Excellent food on the Christmas menu and great value for the quality of the cooking. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Nice to dine somewhere where conversation isn't drowned out by loud music.

    Delicious food, very nicely presented. Our only suggestion would be to have really hot plates as the food was cool when it came to the table. Very friendly and welcoming. We would come again if we were in the area.

    The meal was exceptional and the restaurant is beautiful. Only thing that let the experience down was the service. After waiting 25 minutes flagged down a member of staff to take our order. Plates not cleared away for over 20 minutes etc. which did dampen the experience for us a bit
