Traditional french in London

“We came here on a Thursday evening for an anniversary dinner and it was an excellent experience. Service was very attentive and friendly. We ordered the normal tasting menu and the Vegetarian / Pescatarian tasting menu with matched wines and throughout the food was on a very high level. I spent 1.5 years in Paris and have to say that the French Table is on the same level with the best French restaurants I dined at. Definitely worth the high price tag. Will come again!”

“Myself, wife and the dog had Lunch out front French style...Fantastic sausage rolls that will be a sensation on-site over the next few days. What a fantastic hidden jewel, took me straight back to being in France. Excellent food and drink with a wide range and great Knowledge. A Father & Son that know there stuff and it shows, truly passionate.. worth a visit to eat in or take away, this is a new happy place for us. Thank you guys...”

“Really good food, I loved the Escargot and French Sausage, staff were lovely too Highly recommended”

“Quality and personality are the most noticeable characteristics of this cute french Cafe in the heart of Shacklewell, staff very friendly and welcoming always with a smile. Claire, Clara and Iris make the best cappucino! Highly recommended also for food and treats, well done girls!”

“Went once for their afternoon tea and another time for brunch. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, and the staff are warm and friendly even with how busy it is. If you’re going for brunch I would recommend getting there before 11 to beat the rush as it does get very crowded in there on the weekends.”

“French charm, exquisite cuisine, great service. It feels almost like a time travel. It takes you to good old times, somewhere in Paris. The noise of the city is left outside. Nice and cozy interior. Attentive staff. Top quality French cuisine. Feels very authentic. They do Canard de Rouen a la Presse, which is quite rare these days. I had their signature Simmenthal beef tartare. It is skillfully prepared at the table. We had it medium spicy and it was out of this world. The taste, the texture is just a perfection. I also ordered Agneau en Croûte or Lamb Wellington which was an absolute delight. Another dish mastered to a perfection. At one moment I had an illusion of being a jury member at the French cuisine competition and served with a champion dish. Wine list is well balanced and I liked it had some fine half-bottles as well. The only remark I have is for the plateau de fromages. I wish the selection of cheese could be even better. My strong recommendation for anyone looking for an old fashioned small French restaurant in London. And sincere thanks to the team.”

“Love this pub! Real French vibes with excellent British snacks. I have never been to anywhere this authentic out side of France. My favourite cidre in bottles and big bottles as well. Twiglets, scampi fries and bacon fries. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent staff. I could easily spend a whole day in this bar”

“Exquisite food & the best service we have ever received from a London high-end restaurant. Much thanks to the team for a memorable gastronomy experience for a special occasion. We left feeling not only very full after the 8 course tasting menu, which was just truly amazing! We also left feeling it was a local restaurant that we've been going to for years...”

“One of my favorite local French cafes, beautiful selection of traditional French pastries, cakes, breads, goodies and all good things that add ini he's to you waist. They have a lovely selection of breakfast options - full American, French and English breakfasts as well as smaller side orders as well as granolas and oats. Fine selection of hot drinks - teas and coffees, they also sell a nice selection of authentic French produce. Recommended.”

“If you're on the fence about visiting Ayannas, get off it. You'll walk into an intimate space reminiscent of my now 2nd favourite London restaurant: Sparrow. Ayannas takes the top spot from the quality of this focused menu to the well-balanced cocktails and overall presentation. Flawless guest service, food, and drink. It was a quiet night - we were the first guests to arrive for dinner at 7pm - and the owner took this as an opportunity to get us checked in at a comfortable pace. She was even gracious enough to push back our booking time as we were having delays in transit. We enjoyed the boneless curry goat and braised oxtail with rice & peas, alongside freshly made coleslaw and a rich mac & cheese. Very satisfying meal, both in terms of portion size and taste. We didn't have room for dessert but will definitely return to try the chocolate and rum cakes. All in all, Ayannas menu is a true love letter to Jamaican cuisine - highly recommend.”

“Succulent chicken, excellent steak and quick service. Very affordable too!”

“Excellent school combining high academic level with warm and caring environment. The staff is always listening to the pupils and parents, working with them as and when needed. The academic level of the school is all the more impressive that, contrary to other similar schools, EIFA does not have an entry selection and even welcomes children who do not speak English or French when they join. The progress these children do is just incredible and pupils go from one language to another effortlessly. But most importantly, having 3 children at the school, with very different characters, passions and academic profiles, they are all 3 thriving both on a personal level and academic, thanks to the high standards of the school and the individual approach of the staff who knows how to adapt to each child.”

“I don’t tend to leave reviews but this hidden gem caught my attention and I do not regret it, £22 for a meal with a mocktail and amazing lamb pepper fry, you can’t go wrong, will defo revisit, thank you for your hospitality Zain.”

“This was one of the stand out meals from 8 years of living in London. A great concept and delivered perfectly. The food was astounding. Slow cooked meats, meze with homemade fresh sides - a really enjoyable menu. Service very welcoming and contributed to a lovely environment.”

“This used to be my number 1 pizza takeaway when I was living in the area. They do amazingly tasty pizzas and are super friendly! They've come such a long way since they started doing business during the pandemic. Would love to come back there and grab a bite!”

“Delicious flavours of beautifully presented foods. Friendly helpful staff. A lovely culinary experience.”

“JET sushi is truly a hidden gem. The food is delicious with great variety and freshness. The scallop sashimi is a must-have; it is delicately prepared and melts in the mouth. There are also a good number of vegan and vegetarian dishes. The owner is really sweet and friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, service prompt and the food is extremely good value for money. If you're a sushi fan, you should definitely visit.”

“Lovely little Bistro. Food was very good and thought the price was very responable. There was 6 in our group and we all had mains and dessert and a drink worked out £25 per head and 3 of us had fillet steak which was beautifully cooked.”

“What a lovely evening! I treated my partner to a birthday dinner at Sinabro. The food impressed both in flavour and presentation, the wine was great, service top notch and the evening all round special. Thank you so much to Yoann and Sujin - we’re excited to visit again.”

“We had a really lovely meal here on a hot summers evening. All dishes were really delicious! The menu is broadly Mediterranean food covering quite a wide range. Prices were also reasonable. Well worth a visit and we will be back soon.”

“We had the most fantastic afternoon celebrating my dads birthday at Renzo and Mauro. We were a big table to look after, but the service was outstanding and the food was absolutely perfect. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough, we will definitely be back!”

“Fantastic find, a cosy, simple, but lovely restaurant above a pub. Great choice of Laotian and other South East Asian dishes. Our table of 4 thoroughly enjoyed all starters and mains ordered. Very reasonably priced and attentive waiting staff.”

“My friend and I had the pleasure of dining at Angelina in London, and I can't recommend this restaurant enough! It's a small, intimate space offering an innovative menu that blends Japanese and Italian cuisines. As soon as I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting ambiance, which is enhanced by the sleek marble counter and the open kitchen where you can watch the chefs at work. I loved the cozy and intimate atmosphere of Angelina. The noise level is conversation-friendly which makes it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a night out with good friends. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Our server was happy to offer recommendations and answer any questions we had. It felt like they were genuinely interested in making sure we had a great dining experience, which really added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Of course, the real star of the show at Angelina is the food. We opted for the longer, 10-course Kaiseki menu, which was excellent value for the quality of the dishes. In fact at this caliber the price of £64 struck me as too good to be true. The pasta dishes were particularly memorable - I could taste the attention to detail that had gone into each dish. But really, everything we tried was delicious and beautifully presented, from the appetizers to the desserts. The combination of Italian and Japanese cuisines was unique and refreshing, and I appreciated the thought that had gone into each dish. Overall, my experience at Angelina was truly exceptional, and it's a restaurant that I would happily return to should I make my way to London again. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience in London that won't break the bank, Angelina is definitely worth a visit!”

“Fabulous Sunday lunch, the vegetarian cashew & almond nut roast is amazing.”

“Excellent hearty food and very tasty. No hesitations in ordering again, just good quality home style cooked food. The pork shish kebab is brilliant and the soup (Solyanka) is delicious.”

“An authentic, magical experience, tucked away on Park Road. Great ambience, so cozy on a Tuesday evening this time of year. Wonderful food, and gracious host. We intend to come back with my wife's parents.”

“Greatest Crepes in all of London. Absolutely amazing. Quality is always 100% Highly recommended!”

“Great little creperie. Fantastic service and delicious crepes. Highly recommended. Outdoor seating space and weekday lunch meals.”
