Harden's survey result
Summary
“French cuisine at its best!” – “the eclectic menu leaves you spoiled for choice” at this “comfortable restaurant (ideal for romance)” opened in 2000 by chef-patron Olivier Troalen, who arrived in England to work at the French Embassy in London before heading north, where he hopes to be acknowledged as ‘the Cantona of cooking’. “Service is speedy and you certainly won’t feel disappointed with either the standard or size of the dishes”.
Summary
Don’t be deceived – “the unprepossessing exterior conceals a lovely French restaurant, with delicious food and good service”. Olivier Troalen’s classic Gallic operation has earned its spurs over 21 years, and “knows how to make a meal out into an occasion”. And, as a French chef on Manchester’s Cheshire fringe, his menu even features a ‘filet Cantona’. Top Tip: “portions are large, but you should always keep room for a dessert”.
Summary
“Superb... as always” – there’s no let-up in standards at Olivier Troalen’s classy local fave rave (est. 2000, in a posh suburb, half an hour’s drive from Manchester), where the “excellently presented French-style favourites come with a twist”.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
