“ Probably the best dining experience in Romsey. Authentic menu, the chef and staff are mostly French, including the owners. I’d recommend the fillet steak, it’s giant and cooked perfectly. Don’t be afraid of the snails, they taste great and you wouldn’t know what they are. No frogs legs unfortunately. The starter and salads are larger servings than you would expect. At the end of your meal ask for the espresso martini with your pudding, you won’t be disappointed. Free parking in private rear courtyard, (spaces are limited), but lots of other paid parking just outside the rear gates. ”
“ A wonderful evening out to a little piece of France. The soup (Leek & Potato) was beautifully flavoured and the steak was perfectly cooked with crispy fries. We had a great time and will definitely be returning! ”
“ Good service, good classic French dishes, lucky we got in before the rush, nice ambulance ; enjoyed . ”
“ Authentic French food in this restaurant which is like so many we have eaten at in Paris, but it's in Hampshire! Prawns with tomato and garlic were delicious, as were the scallops in a creamy sauce. Next we had Normandy pork in mushroom sauce and lamb cutlets (pink and juicy), followed by prunes in Armagnac and tarte au citron. As aperitif we chose a yeasty champagne each and with the main courses we had the wonderful House Claret. The only disappointment was the vegetables, which were not as fresh as they could have been. Service was outstanding and the staff were altogether delightful. Highly recommended. ”
