Chez Dominique Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Second time here. Very comfortable, dependable, great quality. Lovely wood pigeon with celeriac remoulade, a beetroot based sauce and walnuts. Perfectly executed Onglet Steak and pommes frites, very well priced at £21. Even better value 500ml carafe of Languedoc merlot at £13.50. V personable service. Busy even on a Monday night in early December"
