Harden's survey result
Summary
Loire Valley native Greg Bureau is behind this “well-established and well-regarded” Gallic bistro: a jewel of this “lovely market town” (especially since they added a glass balcony) and long reputed for its “highly reliable” cooking and “tremendous value” sets. Linger over a meal amid vintage French posters and then amble over to the “fine abbey a short walk away”.
Summary
Loire Valley native Greg Bureau’s “reliable, welcoming and brilliant value” neighbourhood staple, where the “authentic” bistro-style cooking means it “really is like being in France”. As per France, you’re “not expected to rush a meal” and a recent refurb’ has added more joy in the form of a flashy glass balcony.
Summary
With its “superb classic bistro dishes” – “probably the best French cuisine in the area” – Loire Valley-born Greg Bureau’s long-standing venue “feels like stepping into France”. It’s a “brilliant-value, ideal neighbourhood restaurant”, and a “recent makeover is a bonus”, adding a “fabulous glass balcony”.
Summary
“More restaurant than bistro but certainly very, very French” (think escargots and “delicious, old-school” sauces) – Greg Bureau's stalwart re-emerged in summer 2021 after a total refit adding more seating, an airier contemporary look and – best of all – a two-storey roof terrace.
For 33 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).
