One of my favourite places to eat in Maidstone whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Yummy food and friendly helpful staff. Love the gin tasting nights too!! Definately a place worth recommending!
Absolutely amazing food & fantastically welcoming staff. Highly recommend visiting here even if you just want to pop in for a glass of wine and nibble on some cheese
Hidden gem in the heart of Maidstone. We travelled here from London and stumbled upon this lovely French bistro and we were just blown away. We visited 3 times, each time greeted by very welcoming servers. The owner was also very attentive and provided us with constant visits to the table and excellent recommendations. One gentleman in specific, however, stood out. I believe his name was Pasquale (apologies if misspelled!). He gave us excellent recommendations on what to order from everything from the food to the wine. We trusted him to surprise us with everything. We tried the seasonal Baked Mont D’Or Cheese which was simply sensational. As a main course we shared the Hake Fillet wrapped in parma ham, also phenomenal. Finally, we tried the Sauteed Wild Mushroom on toast, which was full of flavor! All in all, 5/5 experience. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere.

A lovely French restaurant with decor to delight the wine buff. We came for lunch as part of a large group - the service was great and the food was delicious!
Very good as always. Main course amazing and consistent.
Desserts, well, I tried the chocolate and raspberry brownie, not sure why as I'm not a brownie lover, but it was sooo good, I'm converted!
The cheese board was a little underwhelming, 5 different cheeses but no explanation as to which was which, and very small portions of each.
My only negative is that the seats are a bit hard for my bony bum, but they will give you a cushion if you ask!
The food was good. Enjoyed my mackerel starter. The mains roast turkey was just OK - I've had better, to be honest. The dessert is what I wasn't impressed with at all. The brownie is served cold with ice cream... it should have been warm brownie and ice cream or cold brownie with warm custards... I couldn't cut through it, that's how hard or too cold it was. And I understand that desserts need to be kept in edible condition but surely when served, it can be done properly.
Anyway, you'll notice, I still gave a 4 star as the atmosphere was good and the rest of the meal was enjoyable but more importantly, I always look at good service and they did well.
I interacted with 3 different people and they were all fantastic on the day so I can't fault them. As a recognised Google Local Guide, I have to say it as it is. So, altogether, good place, and I'm sure coming back. Hopefully, the dessert with be better.
Lovely dinner at Frédéric last night. The menu is rich in flavour.
Staff are attentive without being needy.
Photos say it all with food presentation.
Really lovely contemporary French food, with great wait staff and excellent dessert patisserie options that they were happy to provide as a takeaway. All the dishes were tasty and well prepared/presented by the lamb chop cassoulet stole the show.

Lovely meal, we sat in the bar area which was a little more picturesque and more like a wine cellar than I would describe as a bar.Especially recommend the curried crab starter and beef bourginon and the bouillabaisse mains.All the the desserts the 6 of us had were really nice. I tried the prune and armagnac tart on this occasion as I have never had it before.We bought some extra apple tart to take home with us.
We went here for lunch. Really enjoyed our salmon tartines, the brioche toast was excellent; quality of the smoked salmon was superb and really stood out to me. Delicious pastries too, we enjoyed our coffee choux bun and apple tart. Great service. Will be back!
Had a wonderful evening here. The food was amazing. The service was fantastic. Lovely surroundings. Been here a few times before for lunch and dinner and it never fails to satisfy 😌
Food is delicious but portions way too large. Hate wasting food.
Had to wait a long time to be served but once we were staff were helpful and courteous.
Always a great atmosphere 👌
