WOW! so glad we tried this place, its almost hidden away, located at the rear of Chantry Wynd, and it almost looked closed when we first visited, but trust me – its open!
It’s all indoor seating, however, it’s been very tastefully decorated to look like you are sitting outdoors in the streets of Paris! which makes the atmosphere lovely, and its also very Dog Friendly!
The Set Menu is extremely good value for money & the food quality is outstanding, the portions are also huge!
The Beef Bourguignon, Pan Fried Mushrooms & the Mussels in White Wine Cream were personal favourites of ours, although we enjoyed everything we tried & everything was cooked to perfection!
I cannot rate this place highly enough! we liked it so much, we went back twice in the same week!
merci beaucoup!

I am writing this review with mixed feelings because I can see how everyone locally seems to love it, including some acquaintances familiar with the area. However, having been to France, as well as to French bistros outside of France, I am afraid Rustique simply doesn’t make the cut for anyone with an international palate.
We both had mussels as starters, then went on to duck confit (confit de canard) and lamb shank for mains.
The mussels were fresh, but the rest of the dish just wasn’t quite right. The onions (or shallots) were not cooked enough, therefore not softened. The broth was unnecessarily thickened and the flavor way too sharp, hence not able to taste the natural flavors of the mussels.
With regard to the duck confit, the meat was actually very well cooked, but they ruined it by soaking the entire dish in an excessively artificially thickened sauce (supposedly red wine jus, but presented and tasted more like a flavorless cheap gravy). This is simply not done when it comes to duck confit. One is typically served with no or minimum sauce lying beneath or around the confit so that you can show off the beautifully crisped skin. The large bed of red cabbage underneath the duck was sweetened and the fact that it was also soaked in the gravy didn’t help. Sadly we couldn’t eat any despite being red cabbage lovers. The dauphinoise potatoes that came with the dish were decent except for the thick impenetrable cheesy burned top.
The lamb shank was reasonable well cooked, so was the spring onion mash that came along. Although neither of the flavors were particularly french nor inspiring. However, the balance of the dish was thrown by the amount of mash and sauce on the plate. But we understand that it is perhaps a style of serving preferred in North Yorkshire.
Service was great, the waitress was professional and lovely, the atmosphere was also quite charming.

Every time we visit Richmond we come here. We eat the same thing because we love it to much. The staff are amazing, the food is tasty and clearly high quality. Keep smashing it La Rustique, don’t ever change

The garlic hits you first when you walk in and the food which follows is truly delicious, wish more places offered French Onion Soup followed with a Croque Monsieur accompanied by great service and wonderful atmosphere. What’s not to like!

We had a very enjoyable meal last night and it’s set in an atrium like place that has the real feel of a Parisian covered bistro which immediately added a great feel. The food was excellent (top notch beef bourguignon) and the service impeccable and all at a reasonable price (£22.50 for the two course menu). Highly recommended

Food was so delicious! Their set menu is very good value for money, totally recommend it. I had the confit duck with dauphinoise potatoes for main and creme brulee for dessert. Everything was full of flavour and well prepared.
Good wine selection and great service.

An absolutely fantastic place to eat. Great look as you walk in. Very polite staff and not rushed to order. The food is mouthwaterinly good. It’s pricey but when you have great surroundings and the food is out of this world it’s very much worth the cost. I would highly recommend

2 of us enjoyed a lovely meal, the set menu is great value if you are eating early. The sauces were particularly good, as were the fries with the steak.
