Excellent service, the best apple cake I've ever tasted and wonderful teapots that keep the tea hot and pour properly! Also, they give you decent helpings and lots of tea. It's a great place to 'people-watch' or just sit and watch the world go by. Highly recommend this place.
My absolute favorite place to spend my Saturday mornings! Lovely staff that is always so welcoming--and they never kick me out even though I sit there for hours journaling/reading/sketching. Highly recommend to anyone in the Hereford area!
A simply perfect place to celebrate the marriage of our daughter and her new husband. I cannot fault the service we were given from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious and in abundance, the staff extremely attentive, and the atmosphere delightful! The courtyard garden provided us a private intimate space to party the afternoon/evening away! A massive thank you to everyone for making this happen! xxx
What a gem, mid week lunch with my husband and we were not disappointed. Food was amazing, we sat outside in the lovely courtyard with a chilled glass of wine, perfect. We will definitely be visiting La Madeleine’s again..and again.
Wonderful food....so glad I booked a table as it seemed very popular. Ordered the quiche, which was so tasty.
From outside, a modest little eatery in a narrow street in Hereford. But what a gastronomic experience!
I have been fortunate to enjoy food in some famous establishments, including recently Ynyshir in mid-Wales, which was fabulous. However, the dinner provided to me and my motorcycling buddy by Ed, chef-patron at La Madeleine, came a very close second. The ‘beef three ways’ looked gorgeous served on a wooden platter. The piece of steak was cooked perfectly and was exploding with flavour. The cylinder of compressed pulled beef cheek was similarly flavoursome and covered with intensely crunchy panko breadcrumbs, adding a welcome textural contrast. The little pot of baby onions and slow-cooked beef was sublime in its buttery unctuousness. The chips were the best I have ever tasted (and that includes Ynyshir).
Our waitress, Evelyn-May, was utterly delightful and coped gracefully with a bit of gentle banter from two old men. She found time to chat with us warmly and made us feel welcome and nurtured. We loved her hair!
I am busy planning a second visit even though it will involve travelling again from Northern Ireland, to allow my wife to experience this very special little restaurant. As long as Ed can promise to cook us the same dish to precisely the same standard.
Amazing service great food, we had the restaurant to ourselves , they kindly opened it in the evening just for us .thank you all for a wonderful evening for us to remember on our special birthday.
Love the atmosphere and the most beautiful decor, the food is perfect too, just everything I expected when I saw the cafe, (I went for breakfast) I'm still yet to see their garden 😀
This place is Hereford's best. Everyone must go. The staff are friendly, professional, efficient and smiley. The food is clearly prepared by a team who know what they're doing- it's well seasoned, fresh and bang on french trend! The atmosphere is quaint with a beautiful garden and the back so you've got a lovely choice of tables. I'll say it until ok blue on the face, you won't get better in Hereford.
Popped in for lunch. No booking but they accommodated (Lots of reserved tables), Some items missing from the menu but we had an alternative which was very tasty. Portions, we're on the smaller side but well presented. They forgot us, so dropped a star on Service.
Amazing food and friendly staff. Eating in the garden with the delicate smell of lavender was a marvelous experience.
Nice place to grab a coffee or get some decent food, bit more hidden then some other places but on one of the nicest streets in Hereford, been a few times and it's always been good food with something different to other places in Hereford.
