Service is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious - would highly recommend the ratatouille. Very accommodating of our baby and toddler. Food came out quickly, great atmosphere with vintage French adverts and artwork. Would love to visit again.

Great food, venue and service! Love the decor and spaciousness of the restaurant, and being greeted in French. We had two starters (baker camembert was my favourite, and pork pate) and two mains (rump steak and duck confit), both very tasty, with some wine and beer (the Merlot was very good). Recommended!

Excellent authentic French restaurant with a great atmosphere. The food was so good it reminded me of my mom's home cooking in France. The staff was lovely too. Will definitely dine there again.

We had a lovely evening at this French restaurant yesterday. It had a very welcoming relaxed atmosphere and the staff were very attentive. This time we had steaks with a good red wine and I will definitely be back to try more things from their menu. This authentic place left a very good impression. 10/10. Merci!

A slice of Paris in Bristol. The food was delicious, authentic and unpretentious. We stayed for a good few hours and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Service was fantastic as well. Will 100% be going back.

Authentically french! Stunning food and the staff are all very friendly. I got the confit duck which was incredible. We also shared pates to start. They fill up quick here so definitely book ahead!

You will not get a more authentic French restaurant than this in Bristol. Atmosphere and decor is spot on, food is perfectly French and presented beautifully. No fuss, no fancy and pretentious “nouvelle cuisine”. Just delicious French food and wine. Start with a Ricard with a sharing plate of Charcuterie then enjoy the fun of grilling your own Raclette Cheese at the table and then finish your evening off with a perfectly made crème brûlée. The owners work really hard to make you feel special and are happy to recommend wine or answer any questions about the menu. Reasonable prices too and family friendly. I really hope this great dining experience stays as we’ll definitely be back.

Lovely French food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Menu is short but interesting with a couple of specials. I had an Alsace special, which was a good choice as the chef is from there apparently. My wife had the steak and frites. Steak was so tasty and tender. It's the kind of place you will want to go back to, to try the things you didn't order. I will be. Edited Nov 2022 to say that I have been back quite a lot. And it's always brilliant. Menu now a bit longer, but still focused on quality food. We're lucky to have this slice of France on our doorstep.
