I had the special Salmon risotto and it was fantastic. My fiance has a peppered steak as he was craving manly meat. We then shared a bakewell tart served with Ice Cream at the end of the meal. I had eaten more than enough food but enjoyed every bite. The ambiance was great and the staff was friendly.

Yesterday I have visited Le Petit Rouge for the second time (the previous one was 1 year ago). Le…read morePetit is the sister restaurant of San Carlo's an italian restaurant at street level. I was attracted by their lunch offer of 2 courses for £6.50. I have to say that nothing has changed since 1 year ago. The quality of the food , preparation and presentation are good but the portions are just ridiculous. In fact what I received this time was 2 starters not 2 courses...and I am not exagerating. One year ago I ordered a la carte and it was the same. I still remember it. I ordered chicken wingS and I received 1 chicken wing! At least do not use the plural if you cannot deliver not even two of them. So this time the two courses were: risotto with mushrooms : portion size was 1 fist of a child. smoked salmon with beetroot : portion size was maybe 25g of salmon and 15 g of beetroot cutted in tiny cubes. Lucky for me there was a little bowl of french chips too. Otherwise I had left the place completely starving. But there was one more surprise! 500 ml of still water was charged £ 2.95 !!!! So their name Le Petit Rouge (The little Red) describes perfectly the experience that you are going to get. Portions very little and bill pretty high. If you want an expensive snack before going to have a proper meal, it's the right place. It's definitely a pity but it looks like the owners don't want to make real business with this bistrot.

What a gem! Found…read morethis on-line, since my wife is gluten-free and needed a change from our selection of some form of Indian restaurant. This is a small, intimate and cute restaurant. Probably can only take 30 or so diners. We happened to arrive on steak and grill night - which meant cut-price steak. My wife and I live in the US and have had great steaks. Mark (the chef) did a fantastic job with our steaks. I have medium and my wife medium-rare. A lot of the time, they come out somewhere in between rare, medium-rare, medium and well done. Mark absolutely nailed it. Beautifully done. And the bonus was the chips. Can't get them like this in the US. My parents had lamb shank. This was extremely tender and had a wonderful flavour. Based on how good the main courses were, we ordered the Eaton mess (they were out of the Nutella version) and the possett. Never seen that with candy floss. Polished off both between us all. Our waitress, Alice, was attentive and let us know when there were things that would not work (she was able to substitute for the sweet potato) and took care with the gluten-free needs. This was such a pleasant surprise and the service and quality were simply outstanding - thank you Mark and Alice for a memorable experience.

The pre-theatre and lunch deals mean you can get a delicious three course meal for a lot less than a tenner - and I have yet to be disappointed.

Staff are friendly, helpful and professional - service is prompt without feeling rushed. Decor is quite rustic and simple - wooden floorboards etc. Toilets leave a bit to be desired, but otherwise it's top knotch.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant and fantastic large outdoor dining area which is great on a nice sunny day dining by the canal. The food is always at a high standards and having eaten there several times now I can say I've eaten a lot from the main menu and have never had any problems whatsoever. The staff are attentive, polite and even spark into some friendly conversation which is nice. They have a reasonable lunch time offer for 2 course or three course meals. They also offer pre-theatre menus too. Can't fault the place.

You will find greenery running all upside the walls as well as a fantastic view of the canal. In the evening the ambience inside is also great. Reservations are available but you can usually get in without too much of a wait time. On this occasion I ordered a spinach and mushroom crepe which was fantastic! It's probably my favourite vegetarian dish that they do. It's a sensible portion that leaves you satisfied. For dessert I ordered the praline crepe which was again fantastic. You generally find with dessert crepes that they can do no bad no matter where your buying it from. Cotes crepes are above standard in terms of quality with a light pancake and not overly sweet praline feeling. For me in particular this restaurant shines in the summer. The cocktails are great and the dining experience is unique.

Myself and a friend who likes to think he is a lot funnier than he actually is (we all know one of those) went in the other day for a meal and were pretty impressed from the moment we walked into the venue. The place is immaculate.....like SO fresh! It's clean, smells like IKEA flatpack and has a really polished finish....I especially like the little courtyard as you walk into the venue....drinks out there on a sunny evening....lovely! We were walked upstairs by the manager after checking our reservation and taken to a table. The resturant is vast with many small rooms giving a cozy feel. We went into an upstairs room with large glass windows overlooking the canal and were sat down.....slight gripe....the restaurant was pretty quiet where we were and we were sat right next to another woman that was eating alone even though there were other tables which would have allowed a little more space/room to chat about mildly inappropriate topics....haha....not a huge ine really just felt a little weird as there were other tables available. We both had the pre theatre menu which is pretty extensive and has a lot of good options. We both had the rabbit pate to start....it was good but don't think I would go for it again.....then I had the pork medallions for my main. The pork was beautifully cooked with a side of dauphinoise and seasonal veg. All amazing I must say...big shouts to the sauce on the whole plate which was rich and full of flavour. The other slight gripe I have is the slightly over attentive service while you are in the venue but im putting that down to everyone there being so keen to impress. I think you can let people relax a little....what you are doing is really good :) 5* will be back....100% try this place out ASAP.

I can honestly say I'm honoured to have visited here with another fellow yelper. I must admit I've never been a big enthusiast of French cuisine, purely because my knowledge in wines accompanying a meal is zero to none. However! This restaurant has opened my eyes once again to European because the food was fantastic and to top that, what makes the difference is the customer service making me and my friend feel like home in this wonderful feeling overlooking the canal. My meal consisted of the pre theatre menu with pork medallions and the chocolate torte dessert. The Pork Medallions was glazed with honey and mustard and layed with some sausage, mustard and pepper sauce with caramelised Apple. Such a combo makes a great mixture that your tastebuds just simply can't resist. The chocolate torte I thought was quite rich (not a massive chocolate fan so bear with me!) however, this was neutralised by the amazing black current ice cream produced from the restaurant chain itself. For an amazing price of £15 pp I can honestly say I feel like I robbed the restaurant for their hospitality. You have made me a very happy yelper Serena and I hope my tipped reached you.
