Balthazar

A nice French restaurant in a very central location. They have all the classics - the steak frites are a must! - and the menu brunch includes also some egg options and the croque monsieur. Most plates come with fries - don’t speak them, they are incredible and worth it! The decor is very pleasing and homey, and the staff is friendly. Not the most veggie friendly place but there are a few options (incl. avocado eggs), vegan is tougher

The atmosphere was amazing at Balthazar, and the food was very enjoyable. I ordered a chicken and mash potato with gravy which was very delicious. I think this is suitable for children or fussy people as unlike other dishes on the menu, this wasn’t too experimental. My sister ordered a macaroni cheese which was really tasty. It was very cheesy and stringy, and it had a really good flavour. Although she ordered the children’s portion, it was very large so that is something to look out for - however she did finish it as it was really good. My mum ordered a mushroom and cream sauce chicken with mash potato and fine beans. She says it was well cooked, and the chicken was not dry. Although there could have been more sauce. Overall she said it was very tasty. My dad ordered lemon sole. He said it was really good. It came with half a lemon that you could squeeze juice onto the sole, and a caramel ish unsweetened maple syrup, which complimented the flavour of the capers and lemon well. (The waitress deboned the fish well.) Overall, the atmosphere was really nice as shown in the photos, and the food was also delicious. The food came quickly and the service was good. There was a lot of staff, and the restaurant was busy. I recommend going to this restaurant.

What a truly fantastic evening! I joined my colleagues for a work-related dinner, and we were treated to an absolutely delightful meal that exceeded our expectations. Our waiter, the exceptional Adam Stewart, provided unparalleled customer service throughout our dining experience. I was very surprised when Adam presented an unexpected birthday dessert – it genuinely made my evening unforgettable! Just shows how attentive he is! I extend my heartfelt gratitude for crafting such a special atmosphere. Without a doubt, I am eagerly anticipating my next visit to Balthazar.

Went there for our wedding anniversary. First of all we received a bottle of warm white wine with our oysters, sorry but not good enough. So after telling our waiter, he went to check the seller and managed to find a cool one. The oysters were very good, the lobster not 100% fresh but good enough. The best thing about this experience is our waiter Marco, he made all the difference , if we come back, it would be for him and not for the food which wasn't very special
