Restaurant Les Enfants Terribles

We were in Weymouth! It was the last evening of October 2023! It was raining and blowing a hoolie! That is until we entered ‘Les Enfants Terribles’! We were met by Chef Eric and immediately transported to a sultry romantic evening somewhere in France! It was warm and inviting, with the lighting, the music and the aroma of French cooking! We were shown to our table by Kieran our brilliant waiter for the evening, where we ordered a beautiful bottle of Merlot. My partner chose the seafood soup from the 3 course set menu starters and I opted for the grilled squid on a bed of chickpeas! Both starters were cooked to perfection and delicious. Another glass of Merlot and on to the main courses! My partner choosing the Portland crab with tomato salad and fries which she adored! My choice was Chef Eric’s signature dish of whole Seabass fillets with leeks, carrots Fennel and white wine, cooked and served in foil, which was the finest fish dish I have ever eaten! Desserts were chocolate cheesecake and a calvados based liqueur coffee to finish off a fantastic experience, with the stars of the show being the Seabass and Grilled squid! Chef Eric was on hand to answer our questions regarding his food and showed genuine interest in us! Kieran, our waiter, being so attentive and professional made our dining experience a joy! Thank you again Chef Eric and his team!

We really enjoyed yesterday's French meal as prepared by the very talented Eric and his team. I had the mussel special for my main and it was exactly as I like it - a beautiful, strong white wine sauce with perfectly cooked chips to dunk in it. The apple and walnut cake went down a treat with a glass of Sauternes and the post meal coffees were very nice with what we thought were homemade Amaretti biscuits. We always try and get the opportunity to try Weymouth seafood when we're in the area and Les Enfants Terribles does it proud. I'd love to come again in the future and try the fish and chips - any excuse to have more of the chips! Thanks for a great meal.

Came here for my partners birthday meal which was on Monday but they're closed then so we came on the Saturday before, I had mentioned this to the waitress and when she brought out our deserts she put a candle in his cake! Such a lovely gesture! we received a courtesy call during the day to say they were very short staffed so they were running on a reduced menu, this wasn't an issue at all and meant we ordered items we wouldn't usually go for, all of the food was absolutely incredible, really fresh and beautifully prepared! The service was great and the chef came out to greet each table especially and explained the short menu, which was a really nice touch, the only down side was that one other table was very loud, drunk and obnoxious which was a lot to deal with in quite a small venue. All in all a fantastic experience and we will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu!

I really want to have the fish soup but unfortunately they can’t serve the full menu unless you book in advance. You can only have the walk in menu therefor I am very disappointed. We ordered the full platter but the mussels had one or two of off therefore they spoiled the rest, apart from that I do like it.

Such a great restaurant, with a menu that reflects local produce and seasonal dishes. The wine selection offered great choice, we went with the house white, shout out to the creativity with the label. Our children had the beef linguine, which was superb. We had the specials, mackerel & trout (amazing) Overall, superb restaurant that offers exceptional seafood. (Hats off to the Poole Oysters - giants!) Will definitely come again.
