Best European Restaurants in Ashtead

I have wanted to eat here for a while and got the chance this week. It was everything I had hoped for and more... Seasonal menu with great choice and the cookery absolutely on point. What's lovely is that there are four courses with choices on each course which works for me better than a tasting menu where the diner doesn't have choice. Everything I had tasted and looked amazing. You can tell its based on classical French roots...the core ingredient is the star and is not 'messed about with'. The associated sauces, garnish, textures all compliment it. Great wine list and a very good range of wines by the glass which works well if you have four courses with the choices supported by knowledgeable but unpretentious sommeliers. Good food is one thing but its the service and ambience that makes a restaurant you want to return to. I definitely will be returning whenever I can. Fantastic food and wine in an elegant but unstuffy environment with knowledgeable, cheerful and perfectly attentive staff. Thank you!

What a lovely time we had. Firstly we arrived 45 minutes early & asked if we could have our table & were able to sit down straight away. It was a lovely setting & the food was gorgeous. Most importantly were the staff, they couldn’t do enough for us. They were friendly, attentive & accommodating. In particular we would like to mention the manager Gosia & our waitresses Claudia & Clarys. They made our experience even better. Was a wonderful meal.

Amazing great food great service r and great fun. So worth a trip

Relaxing vibe. Good bistro menu. Excellent staff. Attentive. Friendly. Buzzy atmosphere.

Absolutely wonderful as always, the food was brilliant and everyone who served us was lovely. They also put a candle in my husbands dessert for his birthday, which I really appreciated. However, they absolutely need to do something about the toilets. In the middle of a cold, wet, winters evening it’s really unpleasant needing to go outside into the mud to go to the toilet in a shed in the garden centre. Not really appropriate for a £100 a head dining experience. The only dark spot on an otherwise lovely evening.
