I'm honestly puzzled by the high rating -- I must be missing something…read more This is supposed to be a French restaurant, yet the bread served was clearly supermarket bread (it tasted like Tesco bread), not a proper French baguette, which was a disappointing start. I ordered the pâté followed by the chicken. Both were fine, but very average -- nothing memorable or particularly well executed. My partner began with the onion soup, which was overly sweet and had hardly any cheese. It lacked the richness and balance you'd expect from a classic French onion soup. The biggest letdown was the main course: the ribeye. "Ribeye" it was not. It arrived cold, dry, and extremely chewy -- the opposite of what a ribeye should be. Overall, the experience didn't come close to matching the hype or the ratings. Sadly, we left disappointed.

The salmon tartare was a great starter, with fresh ingredients. It was well-seasoned, and not too heavy. The duck was quite rich and the portion size was massive.

This really is an enticing little french bistro…read more We have a friend who lives in Kenilworth and we've paid this lovely restaurant a couple of visits when we've been up to see her. Oscar's makes such a refreshing change to the number of chain restaurants you find on the high street in Leamington. It's tucked away in a little side street and possibly very easy to miss if you don't know it, but it's well worth seeking out! The staff are very welcoming and gave us a choice of either being seated down or upstairs. Both times we've visited Oscar's we've sat downstairs and not been disappointed. There's a really buzzy, community feel and the service is attentive, but not at all intrusive. Oscar's is painted in a deep red colour with atmospheric candle lighting, making for a warm and intimate feel for a quick luncheon or leisurely dinner here. We've had both lunch and dinner here. Locally Oscar's is well know for it's excellent steak and chips. My partner had the streak and he thought it was indeed very good - cooked to his taste (medium rare) and succulent, but the chips probably let the dish down. The steak really needs to be served with chunky chips, but the ones which arrived were cut quite thinly and lacked that real satisfying taste you can get from well cooked (oil slick free) pomme frites! It's probably just down to personal taste, but if you compete with good gastro pubs/restaurants, you have to get everything right with a meal. The french soup is delicious and a great winter warmer if you're out shopping for the day. We've tried a few of their desserts and they're all homemade with a great attention to detail in their presentation - savour every mouthful. Their traditional Creme Brulee is to heavenly as is their Mousse au Chocolat. I honestly don't think you could go wrong with any of their lovely puddings! Reasonably priced and good quality food and wine, well served. I really can find little wrong with this great independent bistro. Highly recommend a visit!

The food prices are reasonable and the wine is excellent value, £31 for a bottle of Chateauneuf du pape. Tasty food, great wine and a very welcoming and gracious owner really make Chez Tonton a gem of a local restaurant. If you're nearby, or even if you're not it's worth the trip to this great little bistro, it gives Barnét an accent.

Possibly the best french bistro this side of the channel…read more Creme Brulee is the best I have tasted anywhere in the world, although recently I tried the assiette du chef dessert (a little piece of many things) which was equally fantastic, so now i'm torn whenever I go. A meal at Chez Tonton is always an occasion- Eric brings over delicious Kir Royale, and melt in the mouth cubes of garlic bread whilst you select your order. The french onion soup is lovely, as are the rillettes. Lunch is a steal, with 2 and 3 course deals on offer each day. Dinner is somewhat pricier, but worth every penny.

I honestly cannot fault this place!…read more Tuesday is 2 courses and a free bottle of wine night. I kept having to check with the waitress that I could order something, but NOTHING is off the menu! NOTHING AT ALL! You have a couple of quid supplement on some thing like steak or duck, but otherwise it's a total foodie fest! My starter had lovely ripe fig with soft goats cheese, and the main (Assiette de France) was a pot of olives in fresh herbs and oil, a tomato pickle, a mini baked Camembert, two pairs of frogs legs, two fish cakes and some leaves serve on a slate. The house red wine is Fleur de Lys and the service is polite and connected. What's not to love. Next time I'm here, this is my destination of choice! I have to say how lovely the couple were at the next table. So friendly, with some great tips. I hope you celebrate the BIG birthday coming up with suitable aplomb, and maybe you'll give Facebook another chance :-)
