A longstanding restaurant in Molesey, Le Petit Nantais has been visited by every local at some…read morepoint. It is a shame that it is often quiet during the week, but on Friday and Saturday, this place kicks off. As you walk in, your eyes meet an elderly French lady playing the accordion (she is only here at the weekend, but it is almost worth visiting just for her). Occasionally a Jazz band pitches up and plays live. Then whole tables get up and start dancing. I would like to add that there is actually no dance floor so watch out for someone whizzing past you. If I am here with a big group of friends we order a large Fruit De La Mer; a huge platter of fresh seafood on ice. If you fancied a smaller meal I would recommend a pot of the mussels, which has that deliciously sea-salty flavour and comes in either a starter or main course portion. Get a side order of big fat chips to soak up the herb sauce, and treat yourself to a bottle of white wine, the muscadet is particularly good here. There are also plenty of meat dishes, one of the most popular being the steak, which comes with different sauces - the garlic and peppercorn is the tastiest. At dessert, look out for the dark chocolate mousse, which is the richest, thickest mousse I have ever eaten. The meals seem to add up a bit here, but for an occasional taste of France it is well worth visiting.

It's French, it's family run, but that's where comparisons to the French Table in Surbiton should…read morestop. Food is OK but grossly overpriced- also they have some odd ideas , such as having a specials menu longer than the normal one, and billing themselves as a seafood restaurant while not really having much fish. On our visit, between the specials and the normal menu there were , for example, two terrines and foie gras, and a prawn cocktail with only one prawn ( the rest being crayfish). The Marie Rose sauce was amateurish. The chef patron kept coming out and fishing for compliments. A restaurant that has lost its way. Best leave it to pretentious locals and daft tourists.

Prix-Fixe Friday (£37.50 for three courses): What a wonderful lunch with rental child #1 (RC#1),…read moreher sublime husband (HRC#1), and the bump that is soon to be my first rental grandchild! They took me to The Glass House at Kew's Station Parade - a picturesque square - the train station bustling with London commuters, on one corner an organic grocer across from a "Chemists" (we call them drug stores), and a butcher shop that features game pie, which is next to the subtle glass and wood front of The Glass House - the facade adds a dash of modernity to the tableau of Britishness of the Kew Parade. Now on to the food... AND WINE! Three courses, a HUGE wine list, menacing the Sommelier (Sorry - I'm persnickety), lovely waitstaff, a friendly General Manager, and delicious bread!!! What a treat!!! Let's start with the bread - a choice between raisin walnut or white bread. Don't fill up on bread - even if the waitstaff politely show you the basket multiole times and offer to place the warm deliciousness on your plate. How do you choose three courses from so many possible combinations? We discussed, we researched, then we chose, and decided to share bites.... We did have to resort to Google to look up a few dish items: chou farci (stuffed cabbage); lardo di Colonnata (mmmm lard - bacon's flavorful fatty cousin); and cime di rapa (Broccoli Rabe) Starters: Each plate was elegant and the flavors were wonderful, but the most beautiful plate of the day was HRC#1's Seared Orkney scallops, delica pumpkin, coco nibs, lime and watercress dressing (I've added pictures) - I was so visually stunned that I don't remember the taste. HRC#1 devoured it though.... which is a testament to the deliciousness. RC#1's Duck breast with bok choy, wasabi, teriyaki and grapefruit was intense, and the duck was so tender - it was a great start. I am a fan of eating things that have been hunted, so rounding out our starters was a succulent Rabbit ballotine rolled in pancetta, Dijon mustard, caramelised kohlrabi and lovage - yes,it may have been Bambi's Thumper served with the garden greens that had been nibbling on - but it was so delicious - with Italian bacon (pancetta) and the subtle bright earthiness of dijon mustard. The lovage really added to the dish with a fresh subtle crispness that offset the velvet richness of the rabbit. Wine: AKA where I showed off by torturing the sommelier... This is a Michelin listed restaurant - the wine library is extensive. Overwhelming for even for me. I wanted something from the Rhône - and was tempted to pick a Viognier - but why not have the professionals make a recommendation... he started off with an American Syrah - NOPE said the loud American (me), next he suggested a French Syrah - NOPE said I. I wanted a lighter wine. Then he suggested some blends - Syrah/Viognier - NOPE ... now even I was wondering "why Syrah???". Then he turned the page and uttered the word Gigondas - that ticked all the right boxes - Red, Rhône and really yummy! A bottle of Domaine des Pasquiers `14 - a black Grenache and Syrah blend that was fermented in concrete tanks (no oak) it was perfect! And a win/win the sommelier finally found a Syrah blend that I was going to agree with! Main Courses: HRC#1' s Cornbury estate fallow deer, roasted salisfy, pine, red cabbage and juniper was so good. The juniper was subtle, and I wanted to steal all of his red cabbage. RC#1 and I were back and forth talking about the Suffolk pork shoulder, chou farci, black garlic, cep croustade (spectacular flavour) and poached cranberries - the pork was amazing - long cooked and melt in your mouth, and the stuffed cabbage (chou farci) was a tight, flavorful comfort food. I went for fish: Roasted halibut, harissa, chorizo, confit red pepper, black quinoa and corn sauce. Even though I could not taste the chorizo and could not identify the vegetable (grilled bok choy?) I am still thinking about the corn sauce. It is wrong to lick your plate in polite company - so I didn't. But needles to say, Love, love, loved it. Dessert: You won't over eat at the glass house. The portion sizes are perfect, and they pack a wallop of taste. HRC#1's Passion fruit meringue, coconut ice cream and caramelised mango was lovely. I only tasted (did not eat all of) RC#1's Warm apple and pecan brioche with ginger ice cream, and the ginger ice cream is so intense - it was the best flavor of the night. I went for a classic Dark chocolate mousse, and milk ice cream yummy. Perfect way to end a terrific meal with 2.5 of my favorite people in the world! TL;DR: Relaxed atmosphere with formal service. Seasonal, delicious food with great staff and an extensive wine list. Expensive but totally worth it!
