    Fancy dining. If you can I recommend sitting upstairs if you are a smaller group or couple. The food is exquisite, especially the desserts. Lovely selection of homemade bread for starters. My lamb main was delicious and I had the fish and risotto last time which was delicious also. It is advisable not to intend to drink too much alcohol as the food is so good and you really want to enjoy it.

    We had the 3 course classics menu with wine pairing. This is available at lunchtime and some evenings. Excellent food, friendly service and very pleased with the paired wine. It was a first time for my group at The French Tabke but we loved it

    The food was outstanding. We had the trout and duck confit main courses. The attention to detail for our special occasion added a star quality to the experience from the personalised menu to message on the dessert.
