    We were warmly welcomed at the door and shown to a table for two. The waiting staff were very pleasant and helpful. The menu presented to us was very explicit and it did not require any further elaboration. There was a good range of : meat, fish, and plant- based dishes The quality of all the dishes we chose was excellent. Sauces were suitablely reduced and full of flavour. Meat was tender , but not presented too rare as sometimes happens. The desserts were beautiful , and interesting ingredients such as lavender and ginger were used. The only minus was the music.

    We went for the classic menu option inspired by TFT dishes over the last 2 decades. We also opted for the wine paring which was £20 each. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully served and was amazing value for money. It was a fantastic evening and makes me realise we should eat out at TFT more often.

    This was our first visit the The French Table. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely outstanding. We will definitely be going back. At the end of the evening we were also given a lovely Valentines gift of The Six Wives G&T cans and a small box of chocolates beautifully presented "With Love from TFT". Would highly recommend whether for a special occasion with a larger group or just a lovely dinner a deux.

    Very good food for all three courses including a very light tiramisu. Service slightly less attentive than usual, though very friendly as always.

    Another flawless meal at one of London’s best restaurants. Surprisingly tucked in a suburban street in Surbiton, The French Table was a hidden neighbourhood gem for almost 20 years - but the secret is out now. Friendly service and accomplished cooking from Eric and Sarah and their team.
