"This was our second visit to Clos du Marquis. The service and food were superb once again.
The normal set menu is great value but the 20 year special menu at £20 for two courses is unbelievably good. Many thanks to Garth and the chef."

"The personal touch you get here it what makes it. Obviously combined with incredible food!
Sounds stupid to say, but the menu is just what you would expect from being in France! Choices were superb. Wine selection was perfect."
Matthew Gurney
"Great upcoming resturant with hearty dishes and interesting sauces. Although I loved this restaurant, I think they were slightly overpriced as it is quite expensive for tourists. Cheese plate is delicious though and the steak is great."
