My friends and I were looking forward to a catch up and having delicious French food at this one hat famed venue, especially since Manu's involvement with TV shows. Sadly the night was disappointing at both a food level and a general service level. The menu was average, food was good but not as fine as expected. In essence a... More

My Daughter and I had a delicious lunch at the restaurant. The 2 fish main dishes were absolutely perfect. We shared the meringue dessert that was a melt in the mouth experience. Staff were very friendly and the atmosphere pleasant. Well worth a visit and I look forward to going back. More

Located in a terrace in Paddington, this unassuming restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, uncomplicated menu and very friendly staff. The food is delicious - every bite is full of flavour and both well prepared & perfectly cooked. Overall it was a delightful dining experience and one which I look forward to having again soon. More

The food was good, cooked to our liking, We ordered the wagyu beef which was cooked to perfection, the lamb dish was rated 10/10 by my 9-yr old son and the desserts were unforgettable. The service was great, staffs were always smiling, even Manu himself smiled at us on his way out! Overall, our experience is worth remembering... More

Fitted 5 of us in as a late booking on a Friday night. Staff were professional, helpful and friendly. Menu was creative and food was really very nicely presented and flavours were great. I had King Fish and Mussells - great! Atmosphere was nice blend of smart casual. Would happily recommend this restaurant for an enjoyable night out with very... More

Eight friends celebrated a "significant birthday" at L'etoile. The menu selection had us salivating as we tried to make our choices. Finally, between us we managed to have a bit of everything. The foie gras was wonderful, the scallops delicious, the desserts to die for and the two bottles of French red .... went down a treat! Their average price... More

I used to be a huge fan of L'etoile, but I have just returned from an expensive "Pub Meal". I must admit that the entree was delicious but as for the rest of the meal and service it was poor, warm cocktails, cold bread waitress that ignored not only our table but those around us. Not at all happy and... More

Over all we were disappointed with L’etoile. We decided to dine there based on the reputation of Manu Feildel, however the food did live up to our expectations. We were a party of three people, each of whom had three courses, and with the exception of the Scallop Sausage entre which was outstanding, all of the other dishes were pretty... More
