Harden's survey result
Summary
A “delightful, very warm experience” is provided by French owners at this small and “cluttered” spot. “Chef Yves and front-of-house Elisabeth are absolutely charming and thoroughly professional”. “Tasty” Gallic cuisine provides “bistro cooking to a T” from “an ever-changing regional menu” to complete the deal.
Summary
“Quaint” and “very French” (“in a non-posey sort of way”, i.e. “like being in a really good quality restaurant in provincial France”), the Ogrodzki family’s diminutive Gallic haunt was “thoroughly enjoyed” by reporters again last year thanks to its “beautifully presented and perfectly cooked” traditional fare.
Summary
“Quaint” and “very French” (“in a non-posey sort of way”, i.e. “like being in a really good quality restaurant in provincial France”), the Ogrodzki family’s diminutive Gallic haunt was “thoroughly enjoyed” by reporters again this year thanks to its “beautifully presented and perfectly cooked” traditional fare.
Summary
The Ogrodzki’s properly Gallic restaurant (no franglais here) continues its successful run; even the very odd cynic praises “charming” hostess Elisabeth and some “absolutely delicious” dishes of a traditional bent.
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
