    This French Bistro is a hidden gem in East London. Authentic French cruines with reasonable price. Very good service and attentive to the customers, plus lovely decorations. It’s a nice place to go when you fancy some French foods. I’ve been here 3 times, love this place very much, highly recommend!

    I really loved the food! It tasted super authentic and homemade, especially the fries and the mayo DELICIOUS! The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because we didn’t get any bread which usually comes for free in French restaurants and the duck confit lacked a bit of side dishes… I thought it came with gratin dauphinois but it was more a spoon of mash potato. Besides that the cheese soufflé was DIVINE, I absolutely recommend it! The beef was cooked to perfection and came with the delicious fries! And finally, the crème brûlée with a hint of pistachio was creamy and light, don’t forget to order that one!

    Service is great and everyone was so iconically French which added to the superb atmosphere in the restaurant. Frog legs, aubergine and especially the creme brulee were good but the tartare was pretty bad (just good enough to be edible) and the duck a little mediocre. The price of the dishes is overall quite hefty too given the portions. The complimentary bread was acceptable but a very far cry from the bread I had in France, I get it we are not there but you can find much better bread in the UK and I expected a little better from a French restaurant. Overall is a nice place to visit with decent food. Definitely far better than the horrific Indian restaurants on that street, but not spectacular either.

    This is my favorite restaurant in London. Amazing and very tasty food (which is not always easy to find in London) ! Rillettes de canards, soufflé au Comté, confit de canard and creme brûlée are a must. Went there again for my birthday and we had the most lovely serveur! Atmosphere is very French eclectic and cool. Definitely recommend !

    Very cozy French restaurant on legendary brick lane. I believe run by two French ladies. It’s best do a reservation. The entire place has a very mainland European vibe. Music and food were amazing. It’s set in a very trendy area, right behind Spittalfield market as well as right below Shoreditch. So plenty of places for a drink afterwards. I’ll definitely be back.

    French place in Brick lane. Decorations was inviting with Christmas lights around the place. Food and wine choices are limited but delicious. I had their Charcuterie for starters to share followed by Beef Onglet served with fries and salad accompanied with great red wine. All very tasty!!

    This beautiful French restaurant in brick lane is very different to everything else in the area! Nice rustic-chic decor and very cozy, with friendly staff and delicious food, whether it is for a casual lunch or a special dinner, Chez elles is definitely worth the visit. Besides, who can cook steak better than the French? If you’re a fan of French cuisine you can’t miss this place!

    Small but intimate gem. Food ordered were: Starters - Cheese souffle - hit! - Frog legs - hit! Mains - steak onglet with fries and a vinaigrette salad - hit! - special of the day was ox cheek with mash potatoes - hit! Dessert - Crème brulee - hit! - Apple tatin - hit! Service was excellent and not over the top. Will definitely be back.

    This place is a small gem in East London. The ambiance and deco is amazing and it’s a very romantic spot. The food was great and super authentic ( being french). The service is very attentive and friendly. All in all definitely recommend for a date night!! Personal rating : 8.9/10

    Good but pricey, overall. The cheese souffle is excellent, as is the onion soup; the rest is merely the kind of competent standard you'd expect at any bistro in France. Maybe it's felt that that plain competence justifies these prices? 23 for steak tartare and frites! 25 for duck confit! Felt very punchy. And 14 for a kir royale is extraordinary. Pleasant enough atmosphere though. Service was - that word again - competent. Not sure I'd go back.

    Has to be one of my favourite restaurants in London. Atmosphere great, food amazing. We always do family style here as it’s all good. Recommend the snails, beef tartare, duck, steak. Fries are amazing, as is the wine and cocktails.

    My boyfriend and I celebrated my birthday at this venue. It had a wonderful atmosphere, lovely staff and interesting menu. We tried out their frog legs, snails, beef onglet and mussels paired with a great white wine recommendation. All but the legs tasted amazing (the legs had a bit of a unpleasant smell which I attributed to the unusual meal). I would have given it 5 stars but I felt super sick a few hours later.

    Nice interior. I ordered duck for the main which looked a bit dry to me. The wine selection was good and they had champagne on the menu which wasn't expensive and it became our choice. Mixed staff team, while the first lady serving us was good, the other was too pretentious and impolite.

    French vintage, cool, atmosphere restaurant. The dishes have nothing to envy to a high level restaurant, we tasted practically the whole menu and tasty excellent French wine. In the dishes you can see the chef's passion and the study of the products for a fusion style. Well done guys!
