Excellent food as always. Great combinations of flavours, and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have always loved French food and this is the best French restaurant I've found on this side of the English Channel. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Wonderful choice of food that varies quite regular and superbly cooked and presented. Staff are friendly and attentive without being over the top. A great place to have a lovely meal with good wines to match.

An amazing lunch on 18/08/17. My husband's birthday treat and not only was the food incredible but the staff were so friendly and helpful. Nice touch to wish him a Happy Birthday as we arrived, also on the Menu, balloon confetti on table and a special plate of pud. Highly recommend.
I go often and I love it. Great staff. Simple decor. Food to die for. Try the mixed foie gras's - would definitely request this if I was having my last meal.
Need to book weeks in advance.
My absolute most favourite restaurant of all time. Nowhere else ever comes near the standard, precision and consistency of The French Table.
It will not disappoint. Special and formal, yet extremely welcoming and comfortable. We come to The French Table for all our treasured occasions! Highly recommend to those that haven’t yet experienced the fabulous food and service! Thank you so much for making wonderful memories for us - you hold a special place in our hearts for moments of celebration with family and friends! ��� We’ve been to many Michelin awarded restaurants that don’t compare! A total triumph and credit to the owners and all staff - you must be extremely proud after many, many years of continued success. X
Fantastic food and service, even had a personalised 40th birthday menu. Would highly recommend
Brilliant as always. Love this place and the tasting menu. Great food, great service, great staff. Will be back. It was my birthday treat and my son told them. The little Birthday extras were so appreciated.
I had a Birthday surprise the menu looked fantastic chose the taster menu with wine not disapointed, staff very helpful and knowledgeable will definitely be coming back
Thank you for another delicious meal. We have visited numerous time in the last 10 years and have never been disappointed. We thoroughly enjoyed the chef's tasting menu today especially the tuna starter. Well done!
Consistently excellent food. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. Food cooked to perfection with freshest of ingredients. Extensive wine list.
Just about the finest lunch I have had in years ! Wonderful food. First class service and ambience !
Delicious food, attractive restaurant with friendly staff. We had the set lunch, which was reasonably price for the quality and presentation of the food. We will definitely be going again.
Fantastic! Great food, lovely service. Relaxed,m with super staff, highly recommend
Amazing food and top quality service - its a must if you can get a reservation
The best afternoon tea I’ve ever had. Cakes and sandwiches were delicious, scones freshly baked and still warm. Service was excellent. Would definitely go again.
1st class dining experience. My wife and I visited the French Table on Saturday evening 1st Feb expecting good food!
What we were subjected to I can only describe as "heavenly" food.
We chose the Taster menu delivering 5 courses of absolute heaven.
The care taken with the sauces is nothing more than sheer perfection.
From scallops to fish, to the melt in your mouth fillet of beef totally mouthwateringly delicious. The service was impeccable! The waitresses new exactly what they were serving and were very attentive without being interruptive.
I have to say this was the best dining experience my wife and I have ever enjoyed.
Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and it is on my doorstep in Surbiton. Feel very proud of this local establishment!!
Went here on a Sunday afternoon to celebrate an anniversary with my girlfriend. Arrived to find little hearts on the table and got another surprise at the end which was a nice touch. The food both looked and tasted fantastic and the service was great too. Will definitely go back.
I could not recommend this restaurant more highly. Absolutely delicious food, probably some of the best I've ever eaten. Fantastic service, family run business. Wonderful atmosphere. Whatever you choose on the menu you will not be disappointed. I would recommend booking in advance. Seating downstairs and upstairs. I would probably recommend downstairs more if I had to choose but both are lovely.
How cannot be amazed by this spectacular restaurant! They really made my 20th wedding Anniversary feel completely special. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The duck, what a duck! I had one of the best fig dessert in my life. Please make it permanent! The environment couldn’t be more pleasant with calm music and people really enjoying around you. And last but not least, THE STAFF! I think every restaurant should learn with this stellar team. THANK YOU! Well done! You deserve much more stars that I can place here.
Wanted to visit here for a while as my sister visits regularly. We were down from Scotland and went for our anniversary.
Wow it was absolutely amazing. The food, firstly was just amazing and everything else.
A huge thank you for making our holiday.
We will be planning our visits round your availability!!

🍽️ It was a 3 course meal set at £58 - came with 4 delicious breads and Turkish delight at the end too🍬.
—————————
🍽️Starter was tuna carpaccio & veal tartare.
Main was duck breast & lamb.
Dessert was lavender panna cotta and soufflé (the special dessert of the day so not on the menu photo).
—————————
🤍10/10 loved the extra bday dessert & confetti on the table
Really enjoyed the lunch tasting menu. It was excellent for the price and the wine flight was very well paired. The bread basket was also top notch. Service was good but not exceptionally fast. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an upscale leisurely lunch that is high quality in a relaxed environment.

Even though we tried to leave any prejudice about gourmet experience behind, and despite being aware of what we were going to, the size of the dishes served still managed to dissapoint us. If it hadn't been because of the cheese course we ordered as an extra to the 5 course menu for each, we would have walked out of the place hungry. I understand that the focus is in the tasting experience, but other than the lamb course and desserts, the dishes served weren't even remotely amazing, and what drawed the attention about them was how some of the ingredients were added with the apparent and sole purpose of making the description of the course larger (i.e. black olive, and there were literally two thin slices of an olive...?) to the point it was silly. Like, why would you serve a dish with a quarter of a soft boiled egg, or one single small mollusc? I don't think it would hurt them to increase the size at least so that the sum of the five courses would make up for a proper, normal dinner so that an average person would be satisfied.
Two other things that bothered us: the long wait between courses (the dinner took us 2 hours and a half due to long waits mainly), and that the waiter stood right next to our table chatting with the people on the adjancet table often and for way too long, which felt a bit invasive and uncorfomtable.
What we enjoyed the most were the lamb course, the dessert and the cheese board.
As an overall, I think it is fine for one time, but wouldn't go for it agian.

An excellent lunch! The two of us went to celebrate a special occasion and we weren't disappointed...I had booked the table about 6 weeks in advance and I had been looking forward to this.
I felt the tasting menu largely improved as the meal went on; the amuse bouche (a 'watercress mousse' with sundries tomatoes) was decent enough as a snack (good flavours but not keen on it being lukewarm).
The following three courses were very nice, and the final savoury dish (an outstanding chicken breast with mushroom duxelle, creamed leeks, truffle biscuit, and chicken jus) and dessert were excellent. For a £50 five-course tasting menu, it was far better value than you'd find elsewhere in London.
Service was friendly throughout, though a little slower than expected; it was busy but we were in there for over 3 hours.
Overall this was well worth the expense and I wouldn't hesitate to book again for a special visit...the extra little touches the team provided for us (glitter on the table, a personalised menu) really made it memorable.
Just wow. One of the best birthday celebrations I’ve ever had. Everything was excellent! Lovely staff and delicious three course meal.
What a little gem of a restaurant! We had been waiting the best part of a year to book here as every time we have tried to book, it’s been fully booked for the next four weeks. It was well worth the wait.
We booked the tasting menu, 5 course for £45 each and matching wine included for £80. Every course was delicious. More importantly, I think the service was second to none.
It’s also incredibly stylish, clean and beautiful setting.
We’ve already booked our next meal!
Courses were nice but quite small, it has got an expensive menu but I would say it is worth it! The service was good but slightly slow. Loved the dessert it as it literally melts in your mouth. Can't really fault it to be honest. The whole bill came upto around £600 between 5 of us so its a little tip if you want to try this place to take in mind that it is not going to be a cheap eat.
We came here on a Thursday evening for an anniversary dinner and it was an excellent experience.
Service was very attentive and friendly.
We ordered the normal tasting menu and the Vegetarian / Pescatarian tasting menu with matched wines and throughout the food was on a very high level.
I spent 1.5 years in Paris and have to say that the French Table is on the same level with the best French restaurants I dined at. Definitely worth the high price tag.
Will come again!
