Le Petit Nantais

I believe this restaurant to be the best value for money in the area. We travelled some distance to visit and the food and ambiance is well worth it.

Diners enjoy themselves and so they should in the atmosphere enhanced with an accordion player who offers that extra French charm.

The menu is extensive our dishes were very well thought through, the ingredients very fresh and cooked to perfection.

I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant and will be visiting it regularly.

I would not recommend this restaurant - it is expensive therefore reasonable to expect a more civilised environment. The owners are are very arrogant and not receptive to constructive feedback (given). It is a very small restaurant and the owners persist that everyone appreciates having a loud accordionist playing all night and actually, some diners do (rowdy neighbouring table). This completely ruined our evening, making conversation impossible and we left with a headache.

Visited this restaurant for the first time on the 31st March.

All i can say is it is one of the best restaurants i have been to, if not the best!!....

Food absolutely delicious, atmosphere and service second to none. The lovely accordionist made the evening the most delightful experience. Will definitely be back for another visit, hopefully soon rather than later...

10/10!. Thankyou.

Great food and service but unfortunately our romantic dinner for two was ruined by the very loud accordianist and we spent our meal having to shout at each other. The restaurant is far too small to accomodate this type of live music so for that reason I would not recommend this restaurant or go there again myself.

Unfortunately from the moment myself & my four friends sat down to dinner last week at Le Petit Nantais we were treated to both terrible service and an even worse attitude problem from both the staff and indeed the owner who boasts on his website that this is a family run business....

Our orders were taken and arrived all but one incorrectly. When notified the waiter of this he proceeded to take the steaks away, scrape off the incorrect sauce and returned the original meal to us…with all the sauce still on the side of the plate. This would have been disastrous if one of us had been allergic to one of the ingredents for example. Do not get me wrong…we let a lot of other things wrong with the meal and service pass but do retain the right to politely notify the Manager/ Owner (who actually did come and ask us if everything was ok) when we are not experience service that a restaurant of this level should give. What we do not expect is his to be so rude, impolite and downright obnoxious as to leave us both shocked and astounded. There is a lot left to be desired regarding customer service. The shame is that the food was not bad but the service and attitude will ensure that neither our party will ever return and will have no hesitation is not recommending this restaurant to all we know.

My advice is to pass this one by - and visit one of the many other Hampton Court restaurants – of which there are many – who value customers in theses hard times and offer better quality food for this price.

I absolutely adore eating at le petit nantais! The staff are very attentive, the food is fsntastic and the ambiance is like no other restaurant ive ever been to. Kim the owner chatted with us for a good 20 minutes and continued to do the same with all the other tables in the restaurant. We now frequent at le petit nantais a minimum of twice a month and have yet to be disappointed!

Jp the co owner, husband of kim and chef will, on occasion, also serenade us with the help of a resident accordianist singing Alouette and Les Marseilles which is just fab! Kim and jp we love you!
