Reviews
Had a lovely time at Le Garde-Manger. The moment you step in, you’re greeted by a cosy, old-school French bistro vibe — red-and-white tablecloths, warm lighting, and an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and comforting.
The food was simple, honest, and executed beautifully. The crepes were light and perfectly cooked, pastries fresh and indulgent, and the coffee rich and satisfying — exactly what you’d expect from a proper French café. Nothing felt rushed; it’s the kind of place that encourages you to slow down and enjoy the moment.
What really stands out is the warmth of the place. There’s a genuine, welcoming energy that makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. A wonderful spot for breakfast, brunch, or a relaxed coffee break.
Will definitely be back — places like this are rare gems.
Ordered a lamb shank; and a 3-course meal – [French onion soup, panfried fish and apple croisade (apple pie)].
Lamb shank was nicely done and the sauce was not salty.
Fish was firm and the skin was fried crispy. However, I didn’t quite like the mixed vegetables on the plate as it was too soggy for me (and I generally don’t like vegetables either). The thin slice of Apple croisade was sweet touch to the end.
Generally, food is good!
We had Canard al’orange and souris d’agneau ( lamb shank) desserts were crepe Calva flambe with calvados and a magnificent tarte tartin.
Service was classic and the decor is right out of allo allo but good!
Onion soup was a little better and lamb shank and steak was nothing special.. probably won’t visit a second time for the mains, the crepes maybe.
