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).

Petit Ma Cuisine Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Been to Kew Gardens and was recommended by some locals,so decided to try the dinner menu,every single thing tasted Devine and service was very friendly and efficient. I will be coming back,Halibut and foiegras was exceptional"
"Most disappointing. Ushered to crowded part of restaurant, yet quieter tables were still empty when we left. Wine order was prompt, but bread took nearly 15 minutes to show up. Onion soup was laden with cheap Cheddar cheese, and main course (duck breast) took nearly an hour to arrive (there were only about five tables occupied). Meat was distinctly cold, and an offer from the chef to cook another duck breast resulted in another cold dish. Waiter admitted that the kitchen did not possess a thermometer. Food hygiene rating should be zero in my view."
"A very pleasant simple French bistro. Nothing complicated. But all very nice. Excellent for lunch. Decent wine menu. Not expensive. "
