Montrouge

French restaurant

👍👍 Beautifully simplistic menu with a great selection of plonk. Went with my partner for date night. We had a charcuterie board too but devoured it before we could take a photo. The Truffle Saucisson is still talked about 3 weeks later.

Moura

Restaurant

👍👍 The food was outstanding, top quality surpassing our expectation which were already high! We're both vegan and my wife is gluten-free and they had no issues hosting us. We were in the garden too for a while which was great - we'll be back to enjoy that properly when the weather warms up again. We'll...

👍👍 This is a very special place and our favorite local restaurant. Sujin always makes us feel special! The food is world class and the menu is constantly changing with the season. When we had dinner there last night there was a fresh pea tortellini as a starter that was stunning in it's lightness and f...

Reeves Restaurant

Restaurant

👍👍 We were staying nearby for a few days and booked a table for dinner on the basis of the good reviews. I'm glad to say that our experience was similar to many others.

Caractère

Modern French restaurant

👍 Loved being able to enjoy a tasting menu with an option for each course. Service was a little frantic for this caliber of dining and can afford to slow a little and reflect the rhythm of the guests. Some superlative cooking, but dish design and imagination wasn't quite there for this place to earn i...

Frou Frou

Restaurant

👍 Small bistro, good drinks menu. Food menu not as expected but that's my own fault as I didn't realise the online menu was a sample menu. Would have preferred slightly more choice but what I had was delicious and I didn't have to wait very long between courses for meals to arrive.

le clos

Wine bar

👍👍 We had an absolutely lovely experience, at Le Clos, a real gem of an establishment in Wallingford. Everything was spot on and we love the decor. We tasted three wine flights in total, the sparkling rose, the Italian and then followed up with the desert wine flight. Each glass complimented the fabul...

Chez Moi

Restaurant

👍 Food was 5 stars, compliments to the chef. Very rich, lots of flavour and very reasonably priced for the quality. Service was mixed, some confusions with orders which detracted from the overall experience and the general service was slow (it took an hour for starters to arrive) so not somewhere to g...
