Food very good but portions quite small. Waiting time was terrible due to kitchens being overloaded which somewhat detracted from what could have been a nice meal.

Service was excellent and friendly. Food overall was very good but wouldn’t recommend mushroom cassoulet, hardly any mushrooms and not much flavour. Wasn’t value for money. Everyone else’s meal was lovely.

Unexpectedly busy @ 6.45 so it was a little while before our server reached us to apologise. Since none of our party of 4 was very hungry we ordered very little: Breton fish soup and pumpkin soup, both of which were - as was service. We would certainly return

A favourite lunchtime haunt in the centre of Canterbury. The service was very good and the wine was outstanding, as was the selection of food offered by the menu - both the fixed price and the a la carte. The problems are the lavatories, which are at the top of the building on the third floor. That's quite a climb after a good lunch. We've complained on numerous occasions but nothing has been done !
