    It’s always a pleasure to visit Bouchon. Greg is a superb host and Jason the friendliest waiter you could come across. We love the decor and the atmosphere… and of course, the food. It’s always difficult to get past the duck on the menu… it’s just amazing.

    Good food, the lamb, chicken and hake were delicious. Creme Brûlée was overdone and lumpy. Service was pretty slow actually, but lovely servers. Overall we really enjoyed our meal but could have been better

    We went on a lunch time , and normally pick the scallops for a starter, but none on the menu, so we picked snails, and the chicken parfait, chicken gateway nice, the snails were a bit tuff, didn't taste fresh, For main I had the chicken breast, which was beautiful, my wife picked the vegetarian option roasted vegetable tagine, which was very poor, vegetables were soggy and not nice, so if your a vegetarian, avoid this

    Had a fabulous lunch with a friend at Bouchon after a lovely walk in Hexham on Saturday. As usual, the food and service was excellent. Such a lovely environment and the staff are so pleasant and attentive. Always look forward to our visits. Highly recommended.
