    Really enjoyable experience on all levels. Really liked the dishes - unpretentious, high quality, authentic food, with the staff able to talk us through the French producers of various cheeses, cold meats etc. Good wine choices - great Pinot Noir from the Loire region. Will be back soon.

    I had the Avocado toast - with a very nice poached egg. I'd really prefer chopped avocado rather than the avocado cream as I think it would have given a better flavour & texture to the dish. The poached egg was very nice, but perhaps too much hollandaise sauce. My friend's Quiche was excellent though - and very good fries. Glass of wine each, tea/coffee - and the bill was €51 before a tip (of which the wine was €20). Very pleasant & efficient service.
    Excuse My FrenchResponded on 9 March 2025
    Dear Geraldine, Thank you for your feedback on the avocado toast. Avocado cream is a culinary choice to offer something different and more delicate without altering the taste of the avocado. As for the hollandaise sauce, we use what we think is an average amount, but perhaps you had more than usual. The egg is home poached and does not come from a plastic bucket, we are delighted that you enjoyed it. Thank you for reminding everyone that our prices are quite affordable and for your regular support. Hope to see you again soon! Sidjy & Colin

    We had the large sharing plate of meats and cheese between four of us to start. It was excellent. The mains are very comforting. The wines are interesting and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back

    Excellent meal with very attentive service and staff. Accommodated an increase in booking at short notice, Charcuterie platter was amazing! French onion soup the best I’ve had in years ! Vegetarian crumble tasty but a little on the small side for a main course. Would highly recommended dining here!
    Excuse My FrenchResponded on 6 March 2025
    Dear Emer, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this excellent review! We try to do our best to bring you quality food! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the onion soup and charcuterie platter so much. However, we are sorry to hear that you found the Winter Crumble a little small, we always try to make generous portions but perhaps this one was sized a little low in terms of quantity. We hope to make up for it next time, see you soon! Sidjy & Colin
