    Although the booking was for Saturday lunch the resturant was able to accept a change in the number of diners without problem and was never crowded or service delayed. The athmosphere was of a well run, good French Bistro and minor variations from the set menu were accomodated without hesitation and executed with skill and friendy good humour. Will definitely be returning as soon as travel plans allow.

    It was a special occasion and we've communicated this to the restaurant a day in advance. We were a few minutes late (after calling to notify the team) and felt slightly unwelcome on arrival. We're very fond of Bresson so hopefully it'll be a pleasant experience as usual, next time. Thanks Kind Regards

    Lovely place upstairs. We have small kids so were grouped with other young families which suited everyone. The staff were very pleasant and patience. Food is always good in Bresson

    The €24 supplement for Black Sole is excessive and the price hidden in the small print. The dish itself was unimpressive; the fish was over cooked and the asparagus had inedible woody stalks. The lady who served us was excellent.

    Excellent service and menu. Just 2 suggestions which is why i scored 4 for the food. 1 offer sides or ideally provide veg with the mains. 2 I had the chocolate dessert. It was served with meringue which in my opinion did offer texture but did not work with the dish. A biscuit or pastry would have been much better

    Service was poor. The food was as ever a good quality. The Duck skin could have been more crispy and saw swimming in jus. The service was poor. The maitre de was unengaging, slow and begrudging. The ambience was as ever very good. The above issues were a let down. This has been our go to restaurant after last night we will think twice about booking! Very sad

    We had an amazing experience. The food was exceptional, one of the best fine dining experiences we've had. It would have been nice however for the guy at the till to have welcomed us properly. We stood at the entrance door for a good 60 seconds before finally looking up and asking us what time our table was for. This is where most restaurants fail. The first impression is the last impression. Please welcome your clients in the proper matter, people don't forget how you make them feel. That being said our waitress was a gem and the rest of the night was lovely.
