Another outstanding tasting menu at lunch time. My table of three was delighted with every delicious course, served by charming staff in a very light and comfortable restaurant with beautiful decor. It could not be faulted. Very much equivalent to a two star restaurant but bizarrely TFT does not appear on the list at all - seems strange with all the plaudits that this French restaurant receives.

Absolutely faultless. We all had a fabulous evening thanks to the incredible hospitality and exquisite food. I’m vegan and went for their tasting menu. Highly recommend it, everything tasted great. A special thanks to Zoe for ensuring my partner’s birthday celebration be a memorable one!
