Thought I was eating in a small restaurant in France. Food was absolutely delicious. Took my wife, relaxed, French cool, not pretentious. So much better than going to a chain restaurant, dinner leaves you with a memory. And unless you are a top home cook, you're never going to recreate the flavours. Perfect date night dinner choice, and if I had a mate visiting Stortford, I would definitely take him there. Breakfast menu looks great, will be going back. Thanks!

After hearing how difficult it can be to get a booking I made sure to get a booking in early for my birthday and I was not disappointed! My girlfriend and I shared the pâté and calves brain to start and both were unique and full of flavour, the brain is definitely worth a try and not offal-y as one might imagine. For mains we went for the rabbit with mustard sauce and the goats cheese orzo. The rabbit dish was incredible and one that I will be thinking about for a long time, perfectly cooked and complemented perfectly by the sharp and creamy mustard sauce. The orzo was the perfect mix of light and fresh with the richness of the goats cheese. Dessert was similarly fantastic: crème caramel and ice cream with hot chocolate sauce. These were both dishes that can be found elsewhere in abundance but these were taken to another level. Worth a try if you have any room left! The quality of the food and drinks was paired with truly exceptional service. Unfortunately I didn’t catch our waitresses’ name but she was very friendly and helpful and was full of recommendations and tips based on what she enjoys which I always love to hear from restaurant staff. Everyone had the perfect balance of professionalism with an informality that made you feel at home and comfortable, with no condescension around not knowing certain French dishes or what wine to pair with them. All in all a fantastic birthday meal and I am sure I will be fighting for another reservation shortly!

We had a brilliant Friday night for the Kit Kat Club experience. As a true Cabaret fan this evening did not disappoint. Not only was the show truly immersive the food was absolutely delicious. I had a duck liver parfair, the steak and the paris-brest, everything was delicious!

I booked this as a special present for my Sister-in-law and her Husband in celebration of their Birthdays and Wedding Anniversary. They had such a wonderful time and - everything was exceptional including the surroundings, excellent service and simply amazing food. Thank You for making such special celebrations out of this world. I really couldn’t have asked for more. I’m overjoyed.

Really lovely small French Bistro. The food was delicious, wonderful ravioli with mushrooms and chestnut and a dollop of chocolate mousse to die for. The duck was delicious as was the black cod, my onglet steak could have been a bit more tender. Really looking forward to going back.

Everything was perfect, the staff, the ambience, the food. The snack to start were amazing one looked like a mini tuna taco but was a roast dinner that was insane, also the lamb carrot dish was mind blowing, and the malteser dessert was so fantastic.
