The only possible complaint is that it doesn’t seem to have been redecorated since the 1980s so the interior is faded, and maybe even a bit shabby. However the quality of the food food is really exceptional, as is the quality of the wine. The price is actually quite reasonable for the standard of the meal and the service is both very quick and very personal. Highly recommended!

This is a fabulous little surprise, with an all-French team. I have loved the pencil written menu featuring a few dishes, with a lot of character and awesome flavours. The chef is seriously talented and the dishes are well balanced with high quality ingredients. They have a lovely collection of wines to pair your meal with. The chocolate mousse is a revelation.

Brilliant authentic local French restaurant….Highly recommend the veal onglet!

Sweet one man show, great authentic French food

A charming little restaraunt serving big flavours. Felt (and tasted) like France. High recommend!

YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE!I had my 40s birthday here and it was fantastic.We had not been before and my partner was a bit nervous as shed not heard about it before. Her doubts were quickly gone as we had the most lovely day. From the service to drinks and food it was absolutely fantastic.We all had different courses and no one was disappointed, from my 8 year old daughter and 12 year old son to my 74 year old dad, everyone where so happy.The service was so nice and the owner explained the food, origins of the dishes etc etc.If you not been you have to go!

Visited with my daughter and son-in-law - the whole experience was just lovely. We were welcomed into a small, intimate restaurant and the host was friendly, helpful and cheery. The food was fantastic, service professional yet homely and we couldnt fault any aspect of the evening. We all left feeling uplifted and very full!! It was a first but definitely not a last visit to this little gem of a restaurant!

Fantastic, great food, modest price and feels like a real French bistro.

This place is always a pleasure. You walk in, and youre immediately transported to France.

Been a few times to this quirky French restaurant.I grew up in France, and this place is like a warm embrace back to my childhood dining out with my parents in local restaurants.Great hospitality and honest home cooking. Fabulous!

This was like being transported back to France in 1980! Places that are now increasingly rare in France itself, serving proper cooking without a hint of pretension. Really enjoyed the fish soup, the magret de canard, and a tarte tatin that had fallen to pieces, but which tasted delicious. Great place.

Amazing food. With excellent hospitality.Order a bottle of wine, relax and be taken care of.Wonderful experience all round. Make sure to leave room for dessert.

What a fantastic little place. Some of the most delicious French food that you can imagine. All homemade and great value. Cosy atmosphere and a friendly owner who was nice to talk with. Well worth a visit

Really delicious, rich, salty French bistro food. Very knowledgeable and friendly service - the Parisian waiter is also the chef and, I think, the owner! The decor is dated, but the food makes you forget that. A unique experience in London (although common in Paris, Im told!)

Great food. Recommend it.

This place is simply great. Its genuine French food in a genuine French setting. The quality of the food is excellent and the ambience is perfect. Some reviews have been critical of the service and decor, which I promise you dont need to be worried by. The service is perfectly polite and efficient, and the decor is unapologetically French. The fact this is currently under 4 stars is a travesty and those that left any lower dont understand what this place is trying to do.

Had an absolutely brilliant meal to celebrate my mums 90th birthday. Food was amazing and the Belgian White Cake was as good as ever. A massive thank you for giving us a wonderful evening. Meant to add that they do a fantastic gluten free menu too!

A real hidden gem of a restaurant. If you like French food, you must try this place out. Or if you like food, really.Staff: theyre all French so yes, they do come across as a bit rude, but they mean well. JC (the waiter) has lived a very interesting life including appearances on British national TV and he wont shy away from telling you them.Food: we had: fish soup, bread with the best butter Ive ever had, rib eye steak and a rabbit leg. All were really good. The steak was actually medium rare and not the British definition, which is somewhere between medium and well done.Definitely would recommend.

Always delicious, never have a complaint

Very nice experience. Food was brilliant and the owner a very nice and friendly French guy. We tried the scallops and fish soup as starters and the pork and ribeye steak and they were delicious.The chocolate mousse is a must. We will go again

Four of us went on a Thursday evening in late July. Reminded me of local places Id visited near Paris years ago. We all had different choices and all enjoyed them. Owner dry (French!) but happy to talk about his food. Unique really and without pretension. Will go again!

The decor is dated, but it all adds to the charm of this little restaurant.The food was excellent, very authothentic, and tasty.The wine was superb, great French bistro will be going back.

I like this place. Its like little really French place in London. Everything nice. Thank you the owner for hospitality.

Cozy place, very nice menu. Ideal for a couple dinner

An absolute gem! Tucked away in this local, neighbourhood restaurant, youll find expertly cooked French classics, friendly energetic service and a great wine list. Sit in the cosy, relaxed dining room, surrounded by mirrors and art. Great for romantic meals or eating with friends or family. Superbe!

Best lamb Ive ever tasted. Fabulous French menu. Deserves to be busier.

Excellent and simple home-cooked French food at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff as well.

Yeah! Great food. Great chef. Great waiter. Love it.

Lovely little restaurant with amazing food. Honestly, the food is amazing!

Whether it was because we were two women and in our 70s or because we were there using tastecard, the proprietor was unbelievably rude from the moment we entered his restaurant, even slamming down the plates of food in front of us. His behavior towards his other customers appeared however to be quite courteous.While the food itself was good, it was not exceptional and there are many bistros which cost a fraction as much where the food is not that dissimilar.

The decor needs updating and the Maitre D seems quite miserable with his life BUT the food is excellent. That is probably why this restaurant survives. We had an excellent pate, and an avocado dish to start, we both had the most wonderful rack of lamb, served with perfect vegetables (the roast potatoes were fantastic) and the chocolate mousse was exactly as it should be. They need to invest in new champagne glasses - we have moved on from the type you can hire from Majestic - but the actual champagne was lovely and chilled to perfection. So, with a bit of investment in decor and table furniture (the flowers werent real - OUCH!) and with a Maitre D who can remember how special his restaurant really is, this place could easily have got 5 stars.
