It's by far the best food in Folkestone. to be exact it has zero competition, no one is even close…read more Family owned by three sisters running a French Bistro style, the decor is very charming, service is very friendly and dedicated, the menu is based on the food bought daily at the markets. The food presentation is very modern. Which i had the honor to taste; Fillet of locally hot smoked salmon, with a homemade tartar sauce. Fillet of gilt head bream with a warm lemon & caper dressing. Caramelized onion tart. Roasted tomato lasagne with carmalized onion & thyme. There is no room to describe the flavors, just an amazing hidden gem. It's a BYOB place and open from 11:30-3p and for dinner from 7-10p. Reservations for dinner is essential. Anywhere else it would be 4 stars, here it's 5 star.

Absolutely amazing restaurant with incredible food and really friendly service,…read moreThis is Without doubt the best restaurant in Folkestone and defiantly one of the top five restaurants in Kent. The little bistro has a ever changing menu of fresh local produce and a fantastic wine and drinks menu at great value for money, My wife had the fresh crab and dill tart followed by the pan fried fillet of brill that was cooked to perfection with a beautiful butter sauce where I had the Pan seared calves liver with a balsamic reduction followed by the 12oz ribeye steak which was served with fried onions, roasted peppers, sautéed mushrooms and a green peppercorn and brandy sauce. Delicious! To accompany our meal we chose a bottle of château musar. We had never heard of this wine before from the Lebanon but my god what a tasty drop it was it so complemented my steak. For desert my wife had the white chocolate cheese cake. When I asked her how it was she replied orgasmic. I on the other hand had the cheese plate which was exceptional, not you average cheese plate with cheddar and brie there cheese plate had specialist cheeses like Gorgonzola dolce and pie d'angloys. Yum yum what a meal. I can highly recommend this place worth every penny, if you really want to treat a love one of friend this is the place to go, you won't be disappointed.

There are so many amazing hidden gems in Essex, and Russell's Restaurant is one of them…read more The building dates back to 1372, and is a converted barn. Before it was a restaurant, it was a woodshed, where my grandfather would go to buy wood. The restaurant has kept some of the original features, like the beams and high vaulted ceiling, which gives it a very rustic feel. The food is mostly French inspired, but mostly locally sourced (something I always like to see!) For my starter, I had the seared king scallops, which were served with a pea and asparagus compote, black pudding and black truffle oil. Scallops are one of my favourite things, and if it's on a menu it's a pretty safe bet that I'll be ordering it. These, in my opinion, were perfect - which is very high praise, as scallops are really easy to get wrong. These were perfectly seared and crisp on the outside, but really juicy inside - not at all stringy (which is the worst!) and the combination of asparagus, black pudding and truffle oil was divine. My dinner date had the chicken liver parfait, a pate served on toasted brioche with a sultana and sauternes jus. This was followed by a main course of duck - a seared Gressingham duck breast served with duck rillette bon bons, roasted pommes de cocotte potato and sauteed pak choi with cumberland jus. The duck was beautifully cooked, and the meat was meltingly tender. For my main course, I went for the Tournedos Rossini, served medium rare. The aged fillet of Aberdeen Angus beef was served on top of a potato and parsnip rosti, and was topped with seared foie gras, baby spinach, truffle oil and a wild mushroom jus. Basically, it was a whole list of my favourite ingredients on top of one another, and it was delicious. The flavours were delectable, and the whole dish was presented impeccably. After dinner I went for a coffee followed by a coconut and Malibu pannacotta topped with toasted coconut and sweet candied pineapple. The standard of the food and service is really impressive - and the venue has a lot of character, and for the quality of the meal, the price is really quite reasonable.

Great little restaurant, lots of character and very good cuisine…read more Small seating area but don't let this deter you because it is compensated in the quality of food and the service, if anything it adds to the atmosphere. It has a typically French feel to the place and the food just enhances that. A very tidy menu with a choice for all. The portions may seem a little small but this is French cuisine and it is also reflected in the price. The best part of this little gem is the value for money. There are three options on the menu and the dearest is £7.95 for a three course menu with add-ons depending on your choice of dish. A 3 course meal for 2 with 4 glasses of wine, 1 sparkling water and 2 coffees came to £38.40. I really like this place and it has made my short list of best places to dine in the area.
