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.

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.

Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. They had a kid deal where they ate free during happy hour.read more

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.

We stayed overnight and the rooms were beautifully appointed: comfortable, refined, and thoughtfully done. Breakfast was included and was excellent, made even better by the serene waterside setting. It felt like a proper, unhurried start to the day. Dinner was a real highlight. Inevitably, it gets compared to The Fat Duck across the street--and while both may hold similar star ratings, the food here simply tasted better to us. No theatrics, no gimmicks--just well-executed, satisfying dishes paired with warm, polished service. Everything made sense on the plate, and we left feeling genuinely content. The cheese cart deserves its own mention--an incredible selection with so many varieties, all beautifully curated and clearly chosen with care. It was the kind of cheese course you remember long after the meal is over. Overall, a wonderful place to stay and dine. Classic, comfortable, and quietly confident in what it does well. We'd happily return.

We had come a long way for the tasting menu at The Waterside Inn, a Michelin three-star restaurant…read morethat has held its crown for 40 consecutive years. We walked away deeply satisfied, carrying with us an unforgettable memory. Had I not come to The Waterside Inn, I might never have known foie gras and scallop at their most extraordinary. Had I not traveled to Bray, a small town just outside London, I might never have realized that another world-renowned restaurant, The Fat Duck, sits only a short walk away. And had I not made it to London, I might still believe the tired cliché that British food is poor. In 1985, when I was still a college student, I heard a joke from a British student to a Chinese friend: If you want a good life, eat Chinese food, earn an American salary, marry a Japanese wife, and live in London. For a poor life, make a Chinese wage, marry an American wife, live in Tokyo, and eat British food. It was that same year, 1985, that The Waterside Inn first earned its Michelin three stars--and it has kept them ever since. That alone disproves the joke. Forty years later, sitting at its tables, I could testify personally: British cuisine can be just as exquisite as any in the world. The secret, I think, lies in the best ingredients, sourced close to home, prepared with simplicity, and served without pretension. The foie gras was unforgettable. A thick cut, lightly grilled until diamond grill marks appeared, offered a bite that was creamy, rich, and succulent, yet never heavy. The charred surface added a subtle contrast, like the delicate skin formed on warm milk--different textures melding into one coherent experience. I told the waiter simply: "It melts in the mouth." It was also a special indulgence: in California, where I live, foie gras has been outlawed for years. The scallop, harvested from the Orkney Islands, was equally revelatory. Cold, pristine waters yield scallops as sweet as those from Hokkaido--considered the best in Japan. Raw, they are creamy and fresh; grilled, their tightened muscle fibers concentrate the sweetness even more. Each bite broke apart into strands that released a briny-sweet burst, filling the mouth with the taste of the sea. And then there was the raspberry soufflé. When the waiter pierced it and poured in the sauce, the soufflé trembled and rose as if alive. I couldn't resist exclaiming, "It's alive!" before plunging my spoon into the airy pink cloud. Light, tangy, and fluffy, it was a final note of delight. Had I not traveled to Europe, I would never have experienced the contrasts and connections between Britain and the US. And had I never left China, I might never have discovered the vastness of the world beyond my imagination.

Though not exactly completely unknown, I don't think the Latymer restaurant is on most foodies' radars. Chef Michael Wignall was recruited from the Devonshire Arms Hotel in North Yorkshire where he won a Michelin star to head up the fine dining restaurant at Pennyhill Park, which is famous for hosting the England rugby team's training camps The Latymer won its first Michelin star this year and speaking to the staff, they're hungry for success and aiming even higher. I think they are well on their way with top class ingredients, innovative cooking methods and combinations, pretty presentation and most importantly, great flavour I took my sister and a friend here on Saturday for my sister's birthday. The 50 cover restaurant is housed in a lovely snug part of the country house hotel The service was very friendly and not overbearing. The staff were all well trained with all the servers able to answer questions about the dishes. There was also no hard sell on the alcohol, which can be annoying in some fine dining places We enjoyed some nice canapes with aperitifs - G&Ts for the ladies and a non alcoholic cocktail for me. It was nice to see a choice of gin offered and eventually, Bombay Sapphire and slow gin were chosen while the barman concocted me a drink with cranberry juice, strawberry and raspberry puree. It's nice for us teetotalers/drivers to feel as valued as the alcohol drinkers The canapes included tiny cigars filled with foie gras & truffle, mini prawn toasts, deep fried risotto balls, prawn sashimi and a variety of breadsticks with 2 dips. All moreish and we had to control ourselves with these and the variety of fresh baked bread Although there were some yummy looking dishes on the a la carte, we went with the 10 course tasting menu 1. Truffle ballotine of marinated foie gras, seared foie gras, carpaccio of duck, beetroot caviar, pickled pear puree with pear crisp, butternut squash sorbet Some of my favourite ingredients on the plate and it was fun to try and mix the different elements on the plate in different mouthfuls 2. Cannelloni of tuna, lime & soy sauce, octopus presse, ginger marshmallow, Oscietra caviar The tuna was divine and matched perfectly with the lime and soy film it was wrapped in 3. Loin & spicy boudin of Lakeland hare, Hereford snails, marjoram cabbage, blck eye peas, bitter chocolate scented jus Cooked sous-vide, the hare was tender and had a gamey flavour. I also loved the marjoram cabbage. My dining companions were surprised how much they enjoyed the boudin noir 4. Seared hand dived scallops, poached quail egg, apple, cider & walnuts, apple emulsion The quail egg yolk oozed out onto the sweet scallop. Yum 5. Warm sardine, Scottish langoustine, anchovy on toast, roast pepper, Bagna Cauda jus The oily sardine was offset perfectly by the sweet pepper 6. Poached & roast croise duck with Agen prunes, coriander gnocchi, shallots, parsley root puree, jasmine jus My favourite dish of the evening - perfectly cooked duck with some innovative and interesting companions. Yes, it did taste of lavender! 7. Fourme d'Ambert, Beaufort, poached quince, smoked paprika crisp, Pedro Ximenez jelly 8. Pear & almond tart, liquorice sabayon, pear sorbet Lovely light tart full of pear flavour 9. Pineapple baba, confit pineapple, coconut cream, coconut sorbet A nice fruity take on the rum baba but once again, very light 10. Warm chocolate moelleux, honey comb, lavender ice cream, honey jelly A rich chocolate dessert with liquid centre. The obligatory popping space dust made an appearance A top class menu. Michael Wignall demonstrated immaculate sourcing of top class ingredients, great knowledge and technique of classic and modern cooking techniques, introduced wow factor into his food and left us with a smile on our faces Only slight disappointment for me was that my dining companions vetoed my wish to ask for a kitchen visit to thank the chef personally. I've been very privileged to have eaten at some terrific 2 and 3 Michelin star etablishments this year - Fat Duck in Bray, Marcus Wareing in London, Aqua in SF and Momofuku Ko in New York. The Latymer is definitely up there with them. They should retain their Michelin star easily next year and be pushing for the next level
