    They made a mistake with the bill. They figured it out it and came back to me to refund. When does that ever happen? Kudos to Bellanger! We loved the food. The decor is very French and my missus being French, absolutely loved it. It’s a little pricey. But if your budget can handle it. I’ll wholeheartedly recommend. Enjoy!

    Food was ok, subpar to other "french" restaurants or bistros in the area. Service was poor (lukewarm water, spillage, ..). Great decoration in old style france.

    We decided to go for the offer of steak and chips and a bottle of wine That was our mistake The steak was flatiron which is fine except we asked for medium and it came red ( not bloody to be fair ) so we asked if we could have it cooked a little bit more so not raw inside and the maitre di said but that is our medium , We said we accept that but it is too rare for us to Anyway we got it back still red so we did nt eat much of it . He never asked us if it was ok , Just placed it down and left Maybe if we had chosen from the menu we would have had a different experience but we were just tired and went for the seemingly easy option

    Dining here week before Christmas not the best plan if you are having a table of 3 friends. Seating at small table uncomfortable but the food was delicious!
