Frederic Cafe Bistro

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. -Yehudy & Nikita

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!
