Lovely things our Customers say

Very french, very professional, very friendly. Good value for supper and special occasions, even better value for early evening and lunch fixed-price menus. The duck confit is to die for but all the dishes on a well chosen menu are fine. Wines are realistically priced but the Cahors, for instance, is very good and the house wine goes great with lunch. The atmosphere in the downstairs dining room and bar is easy and relaxed with a constant bustle that makes you feel at home. Our last visit was to mark our 40th wedding anniversary and it was a complete success. – Ron M, tripadvisor

Would really recommend this restaurant for group bookings if you are considering it, it’s lovely.- BridenKenny, Tripadvisor.

Dream that you are in a Montmartre Bistro for a couple of hours. Food and service are well up to convince you that it is not a dream! Tripadvisor.
