    Always a highlight of our week as we are there nearly every week. The fish is so light & delicate. All dishes remind us of our travels to France & the beautiful sauces, creamy quiche @ many other authentic French entrees. We have become attached to those who make our meal perfect. Robert, Geraldine, Pierre & all the staff make us feel like family. I always recommend Lavendou's as the service & food are consistently great!

    We had a delicious dinner this evening at Frenchie. Saw friends there and enjoyed all aspects of the evening. The salmon carpaccio is always fresh and light. We had a filet, cooked perfectly and a new dip and chips which was really good. We also had the sweet pea risotto, yummy. Love the new white table cloths, more elegant for dinner and cuts down the noise factor. All good. !
