    The French Table is a local gem. An independent business and very much the best restaurant in the area. Not too big or too packed, it has a nice feeling and the service is friendly and professional. Of course the star is the food - a regularly changing menu and everything is always so good. A visit to The French Table is always a pleasure

    Beautiful food and perfectly balanced service - between informal and professional. Picked up that my friend had a birthday even though we had not specifically told them this, and brought the special desert with the candle and writing. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Restaurant is a local gem but I would travel for it

    Food was superb. We opted for the 5 course tasting menu, but as a birthday meal we were served 8 courses! Sevice was efficient, but not intrusive. House wine was excellent.

    Our dining experience was perfect - absolutely faultless. From before we had even arrived when the restaurant called to re-confirm our booking and check our requirements to when we left after having thoroughly enjoyed a sublime three hour tasting menu, washed down with a delicious bottle of Cotes du Rhine, we loved every minute of our time at The French Table. We live half an hour away from Surbiton, which is probably just as well as we would visit this restaurant on a frequent basis if we lived closer. Thank you to the entire team at The French Table - we send our compliments to the chefs again and a special mention goes to the friendly waiting staff whose attention to detail was superb. We will return soon and hope that the divine foie gras custard is still on the menu as it’s the best we’ve ever eaten (and we regularly spend time in Paris). Highly recommended!

    Brilliant food, service and atmosphere. We hadn't been in over ten years and it was great to see that French Table is still outstanding.

    The service was impeccable. The food was fantastic and creative. The tasting menu was a great way to experience the variety of plant, fish and meat based dishes, with all the extras, it was great value. No need to travel into central London when we have local restaurants like this available!
