Some of our guests have shared glowing words:
“It’s sensational… it outperforms expectations on every level… honestly the best confit I’ve had in decades and unbelievably gorgeous venison. If you found this in Paris you would be so smug. Go, go GO!”
— Marina O’Loughlin, Financial Times food writer
“Excellent… French cooking that’s elegant with old-fashioned, full-bodied flavour. Gorgeous, divine venison & a pitch perfect trout tartare. Chapeau to James & Jake.”
— Nigella Lawson
“Absolutely delicious & such a lovely place, feels like you’re in a proper neighbourhood French restaurant.”
— Charlotte Ivers, The Sunday Times
“This is a neighbourhood restaurant charging neighbourhood prices, but with a quality of cooking more usually found at Ducasse at The Dorchester, The Ritz or The Ledbury. The theme here is unadulterated excellence.”
— David Ellis, The Evening Standard
