    Another very enjoyable evening at Bouchon with a friend visiting from the South for the first time. As usual the food was top notch with excellent service from Jordan who was so attentive without being overly so - he doesn't miss a thing! The set menu is exceptional value for money

    This one had been on our "to do" list for ever, but we never quite managed to make it until yesterday and my how we wished we'd been sooner. We were staying up the Tyne valley for our anniversary and got lucky with the weather so decided to sit outside on the terrace, which is beautiful. The food was some of the best we've eaten this year with not one thing either of us could fault, (me - comte cheese soufflé, Ribeye Steak Frites and tarte Tatin, her - Sea trout tartare, lamb Rump and Rum Baba). The service was excellent also. We will definitely make the effort to come back sooner rather than later.

    Very nice food but slow & stilted service. Took too long to be offered menu/drink & almost an hour to get starter. Two courses took an hour & a half.

    A rare gem, this place is simply the best. If you haven’t been…GO!! You won’t be disappointed! The food is always incredible, staff friendly and in wonderfully cosy but modern surroundings. Been going for years and never fails to deliver.
