“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.”

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.
