Harden's survey result
Summary
Established in 1994, Corsican Stéphane Luiggi’s “authentic” (down to the Gallic staff) homage to La Belle France, spanning a café, deli and shop, remains “the perfect place to relax with good food and wine after a long shop in town”; bien sûr “you have to be a bit of a Francophile to get the most out of it!”

Summary
“Good honest French cooking” has been the approach at this “lovely” homage to all things Gallic for 25 years: a restaurant, café, deli and boutique in the heart of the city-centre run by Corsica-born owner Stéphane Luiggi; “very swillable wine by the carafe, helps keep things more affordable”.
Summary
It’s “nice to find French gastronomy in the heart of Nottingham” and a visit to this “authentic” bistro is “enriched by the hands-on approach of the ever-present owner”: a “great venue for all occasions” – “be it an intimate evening à deux, or in a larger group”.
For 30 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).
