Harden's survey result
Summary
“This great French bistro” with a “buzzy ambience” is, for fans, “a favourite place for a special occasion meal” – “there’s always a great choice of imaginative seasonal dishes”. It’s very much a family business, with owners Marc & Michaela Vérité joined by their sons Jacques, the head chef who trained at the Chester Grosvenor, and Charlie, part of the FoH team. “The new bar area in the recently acquired adjacent premises is a welcome addition.”
Summary
“A reliable choice in Birkdale town centre” with “huge windows giving great views” – Marc & Michaela Verité’s Gallic family bistro has built a solid local reputation over a dozen years. Their son Jacques, who trained at the Chester Grosvenor and La Trompette in London, became head chef three years ago, and his brother Charlie is in the front-of-house team.
Summary
“Cosy Birkdale bistro” – “low-ceilinged, but that’s French bistros for you” – “whose menu offers plenty of tempting choices”, whose food is “fabulous” and where the service is “professional and efficient”. “It’s always busy, so early booking is essential.”

For 32 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).
