L'Etoile Philante

Crabe starter,just wonderful.All crab. Souris of lamb with a garlic side sauce.Beautifully presented,very tasty. Very kind waiter,and met the woman chef.Lovely people. Merci for hospitality.Will return.

Following a huge lunch earlier in the day, I went for a Saturday evening walk, and was surprised to notice several restaurants were not open. Then I noticed l'Étoile Philante - it looked so cozy I felt the urge to go in. It was quite busy but the helpful waiter found me a table, and suggested that the lady proprietor should come to attend to me, as she spoke better English (although his seemed very good)!. I explained that I was not so hungry, and she was very helpful, suggesting that I skip having a starter and move straight on to a main. She recommended A risotto with fresh peas, courgettes, asparagus, and prosciutto. It was truly wonderful! Absolutely delicious accompanied by a glass of Château Macquin rouge, followed by a well made Eton Mess. I will definitely return.

An absolutely lovely experience. Unique delicious food with such warm twinkling service. We felt like we were in a dear friends home being treated to one lovely surprise after another. Graciously attended and even a special Au Revoir.

The only negative is that the small room resonates which makes conversation a bit difficult. There was a table of 8 when we went so that may be the reason. The food was top quality and original and the wine list excellent. A good Medoc for €25. Attentive, very friendly service!

This resturant was a great find. It is very close to the Courtyard Marriot in Billingcourt. The chef came out and explained the menu in English to us. She was pleasant and so was her husband. The food was french and extremely good. The chocolate dessert was too die for. I would definitely go again.
