    This was our first visit the The French Table. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely outstanding. We will definitely be going back. At the end of the evening we were also given a lovely Valentines gift of The Six Wives G&T cans and a small box of chocolates beautifully presented "With Love from TFT". Would highly recommend whether for a special occasion with a larger group or just a lovely dinner a deux.

    Very good food for all three courses including a very light tiramisu. Service slightly less attentive than usual, though very friendly as always.

    Another flawless meal at one of London’s best restaurants. Surprisingly tucked in a suburban street in Surbiton, The French Table was a hidden neighbourhood gem for almost 20 years - but the secret is out now. Friendly service and accomplished cooking from Eric and Sarah and their team.

    We've visited the French Table a few times and we've never been disappointed. The food is delicious and the service impeccable. The desserts are usually the highlight for us as the French Table isn't afraid to experiment with more unusual flavour combinations. The chocolate and olive marquise with tarragon and Tonka bean ice cream was incredible. A unique combination that worked so well - absolutely delicious. My partner's lemon tart with blueberry and lavender was also fantastic - really fresh and the flavours blended so well together. We're definitely coming back!

    I have been to this restaurant many times over the last 18 years. It is by far the best restaurant I have ever dined in. It's cosy, it's unpretentious, it's everything you want a great restaurant to be. The service is subtle, the food is gorgeous. I have never had a bad dish, ever, ever. I have been to 3 Michelin star restaurants in my lifetime and TFT will always be my favourite. I love the place. Am I going over the top. No. It's just a top class to have a meal where the service is top class and the food is mmmmmmm
