    We went to The French Table for my husband’s 50th birthday. We had the fantastic tasting menu and we loved the extra personal birthday touches! We will definitely return!

    As a family, we have enjoyed dining at the French Table for twenty five years! Yesterday was my husband's birthday so it provided a wonderful excuse to return. The extra birthday touches were hugely appreciated. In the past I have entertained a lot myself so know the hard work and preparation it takes to produce an average meal. The French Table produces a superb one and seemingly effortlessly. I love the frequent change of menus. It seems that the restaurant is always challenging itself to get better and better which it does. I had a wonderful welcome, the service was impeccable and the food out of this world. We were a party of four and were given the very best table near the window. I am still savouring the lemon tart now!

    Well we had already read excellent reviews of The French Table - but it really surpassed our expectations. From the moment of arrival the service is a delight, the dining options are the most indulgent and delicious French cuisine, and if you take the wine recommendations from the knowledgeable staff then you will be very happy. Pay to go into central London if you wish but in our experience you’ll find it hard to match this quality of experience at even 2-3 times the price. Well done The French Table !

    We were a party of four and given a delightful table. Service was excellent. The food was sublime and we found it difficult to choose from the menu. Everything was beautifully fresh, light but filling; knowledgeable serving staff. They managed our gluten free request with diplomacy and helpfulness. Highly recommended.

    Amazing place for a lovely luxury dinner. I told them it was my boyfriend's 40th. They'd welcomed him with a happy birthday straight away, personalised the menu for him, set decorations on the table and writing a birthday message on his pudding. All the staff were exceptional and lovely. The food was delicious! Definitely coming back, thank you for a great evening.
