Having enjoyed a wonderful meal here some years ago, we returned for a special occasion. We cannot complain of the food we received, but have not had such appalling & upsetting service in a restaurant in this country ever in our lives!

I have never left a restaurant hungry after paying so much for a meal.

Les Gourmandises is a lovely spot for fine dining. The food is very tasty, a great place for a anniversaries or romantic nights out as the restaurant is nicely lit and intimate.

Loved everting that was served to me. The portions may have looked small but I still couldn't finish everthing. A little on the expensive side but worth it for special occasions more

Extremely pricy for a nouvelle cuisine which means small portions. I was still hungry afterwards...Slow service with not much smiles but the food itself was tasty with a little taste of not enough... more

Lovely, but too meaty and far too much foie gras - in EVERYTHING. Is there any need? more
