This is hands down one of the best restaurants in Nottingham. Cosy vibes. Good quality French cuisine. Friendly service - Roman is so lovely. I always look forward to seeing what specials will be on the board. Keep doing what you are doing!

Lovely little date destination. Mum and Dad night off. French onion soup outstanding. Great service. Lovely ambience. Busy on a Tuesday night too!

We live in the area and it's the one restaurant, among many in the area, that we always return to. Menu doesn't vary hugely although there are "specials".....but the food is well prepared and very consistent....partly down to the fact that the mother and daughter who are the chefs have done so for many years. Decor is very suggestive of a simple French bistro and the atmosphere is relaxed. Do book as arrivals are timed to ensure smooth service.

Absolute favourite place. Staff are lovely. The food is always great as is their wine. The lunchtime menu and early bird menus are good value for money.

Good food and food service. If you’re coming here, don’t get the burger. It’s lovely, don’t get me wrong. But you got SO MUCH more food that you can eat that is really good. I’ve been to France and the food here is up for comparison. It’s authentic, it’s unique. I really enjoyed it and I recommend for a date. Whilst I don’t quite recommend it for a group setting (it’s a more intimate setting), I do suggest it for a date. The service was good and I really enjoyed it. The staff was friendly and really welcoming.

The first time I had the fixed price lunch here. Had a phone call to check I was still attending. We were early but it was not a problem, the food was lovely and tasty. Service was great and very attentive. Lots to choose from on the menu. Quite a mix of folks arriving, but still plenty of tables free. I would like to go again in the evening next time.

For a good French meal at reasonable price you can’t beat this well established restaurant in Sherwood. I always enjoy my visits here. The portions are good size, well presented with quick and efficient service. My meal this evening was coq au vin at 15.95. It’s always best to book as it can be busy especially at the weekends. The service good, the space is comfortable with nice atmosphere when busy. I shall definitely return.
