L'Experience doesn't look much from outside but inside its a little piece of France. Service & food were of excellent quality. The French onion soup was a meal in itself !The best meal we had on the island. We will be back.

This place is a Douglas institution, I have eaten here several times, and haven't been disappointed. On this occasion, we called late on a Saturday afternoon, and they found us a table for early evening despite being very busy. It was though, a time limited tenure ... we were told when booking we would have to be gone by eight.... More

I find its always a good sign when a French restaurant sticks to the classics and offers Ricard in its aperitifs. Wine was reasonable money for good quality. Onion soup and petit cassoulet were our tables favourites starters followed by the steak, moulles and scallop thermidor( a new on us but we'll done). Lido (?) the softly spoken French waiter/maitre'd... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal on a windswept,wet night. Very welcoming and idiosyncraticly decorated. The food had a slightly retro feel but no worse for that. The quality was excellent, the cooking precise. The house wine was very well chosen. I can honestly recommend this restaurant.
