Harden's survey result
Summary
This “fabulous French bistro” with a “lovely ambience” is owned by Aubrey Allen, the family-run butcher’s to the Royal Family, so “delicious” meats such as dry-aged steaks are a given, and feature alongside all the traditional fare you’d expect if this was a corner of France. It’s “excellent value” too – “their (£28, three-course) set menu on Tuesday ‘Auberge Nights’ is not to be missed”, with “wonderful service” contributing to a “very pleasant evening” indeed.
Summary
“Consistently good French bistro-style food, with great service fronted by Pascal” is the offer at this Leamington fixture, which is owned by Aubrey Allen, butcher to the late Queen – so you can have high expectations of the steak-frites on offer (‘best of British native breeds’, naturally).
Summary
“The epitome of the proper French bistro as you would have found in France 25 years ago”, owned by acclaimed butchers, Aubrey Allen. “Pascal the patron excels at providing excellent meat and fish dishes that are always reliable, and service is friendly even when they are packed!”
For 34 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).
