    We had the 3 course classics menu with wine pairing. This is available at lunchtime and some evenings. Excellent food, friendly service and very pleased with the paired wine. It was a first time for my group at The French Tabke but we loved it

    Excellent food and service as usual. The skill with which the cooking and service is maintained at such an excellent level is incredible. Very good value for money.

    The food was outstanding. We had the trout and duck confit main courses. The attention to detail for our special occasion added a star quality to the experience from the personalised menu to message on the dessert.
