"We travel from Essex to the south coast and use this place as our special stop off. Feels like a Paris cafe bar. Relaxed and comfortable a true find for us. Used quite a number of times now and never dissatisfied. Also the bar area has a great feel as well."

"Went Southampton to visit relatives & they brought us to this French restaurant in Romsey (about 20 mins drive from Southampton) for lunch.
Love the wine! The red wine tasted so fine & smooth 😋 and the food too are very well prepared :-) The dessert is a bit sweet though…
We went on a Friday afternoon, & it was not crowded so really had a good time there :-)"

"The food is delicious, especially the baked goat cheese. The taste is mellow and just right. There are many types of draft beer to choose from. Friendly staff."
