Harden's says
The owners of this Kentish seaside town newcomer (serving rustic, classic French fare from ever-changing blackboards) run Le Pinardier, a wine shop and bar, also in Deal.
Harden's survey result
Summary
This “fantastic little bistro hidden away in Deal” is “well worth trying” for the “very high standard of its classic French cooking” – although there is some pushback against its “London prices”. Owner-operators Benoit & Sarah (respectively the Frog and the Scot) also run Le Pinardier wine shop and bar a few doors away.
Summary
“A high standard of French brasserie food and a good selection of wines” make this “lovely local” from Benoit and Sarah (the Frog and Scot of its name) a “breath of fresh air in Deal on the Kent coast”. But, even if they acknowledge the food as being “very good”, a sizable minority feel they are paying haute cuisine bills for bistro food – that “prices are out of sync”, or even “exploitative”.
Summary
This “very good bistro” serves “metropolitan-quality cooking of local and seasonal ingredients (especially seafood)” – “on the high street of a charming (and currently chic) seaside town”. It’s “light and spacious”, with “friendly and efficient service” and a “good-value lunch menu”. Owners Benoit and Sarah – embodying the ‘Auld Alliance’ of France and Scotland – also run Le Pinardier wine bar almost next door, which explains the “original list” of classics and natural/bio wines.
