We had a meal in Shampan as a group of 8 and although we didn't advise the staff that we were celebrating a birthday until about 5 minutes before we arrived, they had put up a balloon and some confetti on the table which was a lovely touch. The staff were very attentive throughout and the food was lovely. We were all impressed with the entire visit. Would definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed our first visit to Shampan. It is a stylish restaurant with food to match. Portions were decent too. We enjoyed a reasonably priced and very tasty meal with wine followed by a complimentary liqueur. The staff are really friendly and efficient too.
