It’s a wonderful restaurant with an excellent wine list and a short menu of French dishes, charcuterie and cheeses that is of very high quality. I will warn that portions may be too dainty for the more voracious, but I found it just nice. I could say I polished off my dishes without feeling bloated. Good veggie options in case age old prejudices about French insistence that meat is essential surface. I had the put lentil stuffed courgette main and it was delicious.

Absolutely incredible meal. Each element was thought out. Even what you’d think was a simple side of green beans was exceptionally seasoned and cooked. Personal stand outs where the sea bream special, dauphinoise and duck on the charcuterie board.
Amazing and friendly service from our waiter Jack, had great wine and food recommendations, notably the sauviougn blanc. Would definitely come back again

We had a very nice meal in this French style restaurant. A couple of starters, followed by the bavette steak and the duck leg. We shared the dauphinois potato and a large dish of French beans. It was all excellent, although the bavette was a little chewy. Service and atmosphere was good and the price was not too bad either.

The food was lovely and the service good. However, our whole group felt it was not good value for money. The £30 charcuterie board that does not come with any biscuits/crackers etc (meaning you need to pay an extra £4 for half a slice of bread each) felt particularly overpriced. The food is pitched as ‘French tapas’, with 2-3 small plates per person recommended. These were nicely cooked, but for the price point (£13 for a single small courgette stuffed with lentils…) I’m not sure it’s outstanding enough. A nice location and good food, but be prepared to pay a premium for it.

I celebrated my 40th birthday here with my family, and it was a truly memorable experience. The food was exquisite, the wine outstanding, and the service warm and attentive throughout. We had a wonderful time together and will always carry very special memories of this exceptional restaurant.

Went here during restaurant week and was blown away with the quality of the food and how nice the serving staff were.
Went for the three course offering and each dish tasted amazing, with good portions to not leave you feeling incredibly full afterwards.
The chicken supreme had an amazing creamy sauce that quite frankly, I wanted to lick the plate afterwards . The accompanying potatoes were equally delicious with the right amount of seasoning.
Will definitely be back .

Saturday 17th Jan 2026 19:00pm Booking. – 1st ever experience of traditional French Cuisine. I must firstly begin in applauding the phenomenal service provided by the staff. They were fantastic and very attentitive to every part of our night. I chose the Escargot, as I had never tried it before, along with Prawn in Garlic/Chilli and Beef Dishes. Whilst the Escargot was a surprise to the taste buds in a negative way, this in no way is taking anything away from their exceptional chefs. (As I said it was the 1st time I’d tasted them, and they were not my own tastes). The other dishes and drinks were excellent and would recommend the restaurant whole heartedly.

This was one of the most wonderful dinner experiences I have had in a long time. The staff, especially Ted and Jasmine, were INCREDIBLE. The food was FANTASTIC.
I walked in as 1. Sat at the bar. Discussed with my server Ted his recommendations. I ordered the escargots, au fromage de chèvre, confit de canard and the brioche falcon pain perdu for dessert (highly recommend). The staff helped me pair wines with my food and dessert and were a pleasure to talk to.
A truly incredible establishment. I look forward to coming again next time I am in Newcastle.
