Harden's survey result
Summary
Don’t be deceived – “the unprepossessing exterior conceals a lovely French restaurant, with delicious food and good service”. Olivier Troalen’s classic Gallic operation has earned its spurs over 21 years, and “knows how to make a meal out into an occasion”. And, as a French chef on Manchester’s Cheshire fringe, his menu even features a ‘filet Cantona’. Top Tip: “portions are large, but you should always keep room for a dessert”.
Summary
“Superb... as always” – there’s no let-up in standards at Olivier Troalen’s classy local fave rave (est. 2000, in a posh suburb, half an hour’s drive from Manchester), where the “excellently presented French-style favourites come with a twist”.

Summary
“A rare high quality, traditional French-style restaurant”, set on the plush suburban fringes of South Manchester. No-one (of the very many who report) has a bad word to say about the place: Olivier Troalen’s cuisine is “sensational, with exquisite presentation” and “the service is second to none”. It all comes “at fair prices too”. Top Tip: “best at lunchtime: ridiculously underpriced!”
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).
