I love their offer. 20£ for full 3 course it's pretty good if u ask me! Love their steak, the onion soup, the calamari, the mushroom in puff pastry(which I forgot the name). Service is a lil slow but that's how it is to make it intimate. Decor is beautiful n not overly done. Ohhh forgot to mention, their caramel flan, is to die for, so rich n yummy!!! Is like a crime brûlée, so love it! Kids friendly too as I keep seeing family going there. Go have a try yourself and be the judge, they got quite nice selections on their menu, I just love menu set :)

I visited Côte with my partner for brunch last Saturday. We arrived at 12.50 and brunch is served…read moreuntil 1pm, the waitress who greeted us on arrival was a little brisk but told us we could still order so long as we did so quickly! The brunch menu has plenty of options, including hot cooked breakfasts as well as lighter options including pastries, fruit and yoghurt. Unusually for me, I felt like going for something light rather than a heavy cooked breakfast. I opted for the granola and yoghurt which came attractively presented in a tall glass sundae bowl on a side plate. My boyfriend opted for the French breakfast (as part of the complete breakfast offer) which included any cooked breakfast, a hot drink and a glass of juice- all for under £10. My granola was delicious, although simple. His cooked breakfast was apparently also delicious, though the portion was fairly small! The interior of the restaurant was cosy, dark furniture and velvet curtains. All in all it was an enjoyable breakfast for under £20 for the both of us.

Listen, I'm not so sure authenticity is something to hang your hat on if you're channeling a French…read moreBistro. Having trecked to deepest SW France every month for the past few years to visit mum I've seen the state of French rural cooking and it's not bon. So I was hoping a less intrepid short trek down the Shepherd's Bush Rd might yield something with a little more je ne sais quoi. The restaurant itself is most inviting. Obligatory 20's ad posters adorn the walls. Wooden tables with cloths, all that jazz. And I want the mustard tiles that adorn the loo. All very lived in and homely. And welcoming too. Our waitress bought the specials board with her and gave it some Anthea Redfern, our choices made all the harder for her doing so. Is there a man who doesn't tip up at a French bistro, scour the menu, deliberate, pontificate, cogitate and then order the steak and chips? If there is I'll show you someone going through transition. It's just what men do. And so did I. The steak on offer was onglet. Only the French can make a cheap choice sound exotic. Note. It's not cheap. £30. The missus went for a chicken and tarragon pie which sounded more French than that but basically it described a chicken and tarragon pie. We ordered a starter to share, anchoiade tartinette. Gentlemen's Relish on toast, not the strictest of Google Translates but serves my purpose here. What came looked a little uninspiring. I know bistro is homely and simple but this slice of toast with a mercifully thin spread of the salty stuff and topped with walnut and boiled egg needed a bit of sprucing up somehow. The plate looked bare but we both agreed any joy here was actually in the eating which frankly is the most important thing. We quaffed without quibble and enjoyed what we ate. Punchy, interestingly textured, it got the taste buds going for the mains. The steak was good. Quickly fried with lots of seasoning. Simple stuff for this simple man, The chips were excellent. Thin, brittle and immersed in good hot fat for a suitable period of time. I'm a lover of the big fat English chip but when a French fry is done this well it makes me wonder if Brexit may have been a mistake. The chicken and tarragon pie was a mess. This is the provincial French fare I remember so, um, fondly from my trips to see mum. Her eventual demise had one welcome upside inasmuch as I never have to face another boil in the bag confit duck horror show as long as I live. It really is a poor show food-wise out there right now unless you live in a city and even then it's slim pickings. This dish didn't disappoint in terms of authenticity. Leather-like pastry eventually giving way to dry chicken mush inside. There was a small jug of Dubbin for the purpose of lubrication but it only added to the sense that this dish had been lying around for some time before a quick tap tap ping. The mash potato accompaniment was even worse. Where they were trying to replicate the Robuchon butter heaven, sans butter,, what was delivered looked and felt like glue paste. Luckily it didn't taste of that, it tasted of nothing at all. And it had a skin on it. Something you had to break through to get to the warm bit. A complete disaster. I grabbed my pomme frites seven at a time as jealous eyes wandered towards the basket. That the same root vegetable could render two such contrasting end results seems almost impossible but there you go. I wondered why this cute little place couldn't just boil the potato, mash it, add a little milk, butter and salt, possibly some parsley and be happy with the result. It's hard to beat. Their efforts to do something more complex left us with wallpaper paste. Aside leather shoe with dry chicken mush. And gloop. The French beans looked sad. Well wouldn't you? A wonderfully authentic experience in some ways. A disappointingly authentic experience in others. Say Lavvy.

I loved this place. It was very cute. Good food and Amazing customer service…read more The owner came out spoke with us, & made sure everything was fine, he even brought me extra small deserts cakes because I loved the one I ordered so much. Ordered the Steak & Frites , presented Beauty. However, it unfortunately lacked seasoning, & or salt. May just be my personal preference. However the ambiance was magnificent. Very airy, small boutique feel, definitely has a French cafe vibe that I love.

I like the area of Twickenham and go there quite often as its nice place to drive around- Fulwell,…read moreRichmond and Ealing for a breathe of fresh air.. A few weeks ago I went into have dinner at Ma Cuisine a rather chic, old-school-style French restaurant only minutes away from the Twickenham train station. The look of the restaurant is inspired by traditional 1950s French bistros style, it has a black and white tiled floor, red and white gingham tablecloths and distinctive Toulouse-Lautrec posters on the walls. Ma Cuisine has won various awards over the years for its authentic French menu and I thought why not give it a shot and see if it lives upto its name - including a Bib Gourmand for 3 consequetive years and the much coveted Evening Standard London Tonight Award - my favourites include breast of duck with a spiced honey sauce and red cabbage, roast rump of lamb and Mergez sausage with spicy cous cous, tabbouleh and mint yoghurt, and a cassoulet with confit duck, Toulouse and Morteau sausages and beans . The elegant surrounds and award-winning food at Ma Cuisine is absolutely ideal for group parties. A private dining room is available which holds up to 50 people, and there are additional seats available outside in the warmer months.
