in London there are other cities you know) this would have been 4 out of five however for a provincial town technically a city it has a cathedral) this was an excellent experience the service was attentive without being over powering the menu was sufficiently varied without being unrealistically over packed and all the dishes well executed judging from the comments from other tables around me. I chose the steak tartare and the Breton fish stew. The steak tartare was as good as the Ivy quite the complement) with an extra zing from the capers and added mild Tabasco, I added this BTW. The fish stew was packed with seafood and really well cooked. I personally felt it was a little under seasoned...
We stumbled upon this brasserie after realising that the Italian restaurant nearby, where we had booked a table, was not a place we wanted to go to, as it didn't seem inviting at all... So we googled for a suitable alternative in the vicinity and found this brasserie, which we thought is always a good choice. And we certainly didn't regret it! Although the restaurant was quite full, they were able to accommodate us without a reservation. Service throughout was very prompt and friendly! Very good menu options, and with the waiter also very flexible to respond to requests for substitutes of side dishes. Typically French brasserie atmosphere with great food and service. What more could one ask...
What a lovely experience we had. Escaping from the rain at 5pm there were only a couple of tables occupied but it rapidly filled up and there was a nice, busy atmosphere. The service was impeccable (especially from the young lady from Normandy, sorry I didn't get your name). Food was wonderful, too. My steak frites was as good as you would get in Paris and my wife's pork belly was the best she has had for ages. Good wine, too and a great calvados.
I have been here many times for lunch and supper and it never disappoints. The food is always of a really high standard and the staff are always excellent. Absolutely love their steak frites with a glass of something red from the Languedoc. Love their sharing breads too fougasse. Yummy! We have been here for breakfast too and there was a lovely choice.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. Every dish was delicious and it was one of the few places we've visited as a family where everyone enjoyed their meal. The atmosphere was chill and relaxed, and we really appreciated the laid-back vibes. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.
This brasserie offers a consistent high quality of French food. A comfortable friendly place on a rainy day. Service was excellent. The one disappointment is that the disabled toilet had no sign. I struggled up and down a flight of stairs to the normal toilets with a broken shoulder with a railing on only one side of the stairs.
Booked a table with friends for the jazz lunch, which we were highly looking forward to. Felt very disappointed as couldn't hear any of the saxophonist in the other room. Very poorly falsely advertised. Food was amazing so it was such a huge shame
Loved this cozy French brasserie. Everyone was friendly welcoming. The cheese souffle was amazing, as was the rest of our meal. Just a lovely experience. Highly recommend.

Decor tired. Service haphazard. Food reasonable but below usual Cote standard. Hope this isn't the shape of things to come under the new owners of this chain.
Very slow service. Food uninspiring. Fresh tuna soo overcooked it was like cardboard but was told ‘that is the only way we are allowed to cook it’. Yuck
