The ambiance is charming with a French bistro vibe that transports diners to Paris.

Staff - friendly and accommodating. Took us as walk ins, and sat us away from the crowd as we had a sleeping baby with us.
Food - served quickly and perfectly at lunch time. A french omelette and chips, amazing. Only personal improvement - could have had more blue cheese melted into it! Ha.
Also, the pastries are heavenly. Well done and thank you.
Tried here for the first time today & enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with family. The staff were lovely & friendly, the French style decor had a cosy feel & the food was delicious & good value for the price.
Pastry hits! I knew it with just a look 🤩
The apple pie (green with raspberry on top) calls me to order, seems perfect for the winter holiday. My sister loved the lemon pie. Would definitely come back to try a full meal x
One of the best restaurants in Maidstone - delicious, authentic French food that never disappoints, with an amazing selection of patisseries! The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is impeccable. Always a buzzing atmosphere, with a great wine list. A lovely, cosy bistro that we love to visit often!
Went for our wedding anniversary a week ago, had been years since we'd been so was nice to go again. Our food was mostly perfect with the exception of the Seabass, which was slightly over cooked and the plate was served with sauce over the sides. My Sole was fantastic, as was the rabbit tart, blue cheese and walnut salad and our Tart au citroens. We were given the choice of where we wanted to sit by a well-dressed gentlemen who couldn't have been nicer. A couple of gripes, though! If you want a soft drink then there is no drink menu for this and when asked it was Coke, lemonade, rhubarb press and one other which I can't remember. All again with lemonade if we wanted. I'd seen ginger ale and others in the fridge later on but was a bit disappointed not to be told this. Also, when our cutlery was cleared by the same waiter after our mains, he just put the cutlery in the middle of the table for us to sort ourselves. Little things may be, but make all the difference on a special night. Would definitely recommend and go back but won't be in a massive rush.
