l'Etoile Philante

The only negative is that the small room resonates which makes conversation a bit difficult. There was a table of 8 when we went so that may be the reason. The food was top quality and original and the wine list excellent. A good Medoc for €25. Attentive, very friendly service!

Crabe starter,just wonderful.All crab. Souris of lamb with a garlic side sauce.Beautifully presented,very tasty. Very kind waiter,and met the woman chef.Lovely people. Merci for hospitality.Will return.

Following a huge lunch earlier in the day, I went for a Saturday evening walk, and was surprised to notice several restaurants were not open. Then I noticed l'Étoile Philante - it looked so cozy I felt the urge to go in. It was quite busy but the helpful waiter found me a table, and suggested that the lady proprietor should come to attend to me, as she spoke better English (although his seemed very good)!. I explained that I was not so hungry, and she was very helpful, suggesting that I skip having a starter and move straight on to a main. She recommended A risotto with fresh peas, courgettes, asparagus, and prosciutto. It was truly wonderful! Absolutely delicious accompanied by a glass of Château Macquin rouge, followed by a well made Eton Mess. I will definitely return.

An absolutely lovely experience. Unique delicious food with such warm twinkling service. We felt like we were in a dear friends home being treated to one lovely surprise after another. Graciously attended and even a special Au Revoir.

Very nice restaurant. We enjoyed the staff - we put our limited French with their English to create a wonderful meal. Worth a stop if in the area!
