The 30 Best French restaurant in Widnes

“Gluten Free Dream… had its own menu fully colour coded. Staff knew what was going on with allergens and brought food out saying gluten free and my name which was very reassuring. Delicious food and quality didn’t seem to be impacted even though we had 20 people in the party and it was a fully booked restaurant. Will look forward to venturing back!”

“As always we enjoyed every second of our dining here , warm welcome by both Martas and Mark served us with a smile . Delicious food . Thank you .”

“What an amazing place, great food, great hosts & great prices!! Absolutely love this place the food is delicious and so filling!!”

“Been going here for years but the current set up is top notch. We went for my sons 21st birthday and from the moment we went in to book to the moment we went after the meal, everything was superb. Food was great, service spot on and not too pushy to get us out and we had an area reserved for my FIL who is elderly and in a wheelchair so they accommodated him without any fuss at all. Rachel who managed us was awesome and her team are a credit to her. Thanks Rachel.”

“Always a great experience with exceptional food!”

“Great to find somewhere open today. Great food at great prices, new cyclist cafe stop.”

“Staff are absolute gems! Super friendly and accommodating. Massive thank you to Donna and Chloe- both were so friendly, helpful, and chatty (you both better go on that ghost hunt we recommended!). Food was good and tasty. Smaller selection for the all you can eat breakfast but was restocked frequently when things ran out and tasted great.”

“Amazing food a must try!! Speedy delivery will definitely order again.”

“Excellent food and friendly service.”

“The food is absolutely fabulous and the portions are very generous. They offer a bit of everything you'd expect from a breakfast cafe but the thing that steals the show is the ginger milkshake! It is unbelievable!”

“After a great first visit in November, I returned to La Cantina in February 2025 for another business lunch – this time with a different group of colleagues. One of my business partners ordered the Chicken Saffron, which looked and smelled fantastic, while I decided to try something new… and epic. I went for The Beast – a massive steak, also called Tomahawk by the chef (who I suspect might be Spanish – which would make sense, given how truly Mediterranean the kitchen feels). Whether it was 32oz or 42oz, I’m not sure – but the size and presentation were unforgettable. Served on the bone, grilled medium-well, juicy, rich in flavour… easily one of the most impressive steaks I’ve ever had. As a starter, I ordered the King Prawns Alla Cantina – partly because my business partner from the first visit couldn’t stop talking about them. And yes, he was right – they were juicy, full of flavour and served hot, just the way they should be. I finished (barely!) with the chocolate fudge cake, which once again delivered that warm, rich, gooey texture I loved the first time – plus smooth vanilla ice cream and generous chocolate sauce. Incredible. I’ll absolutely return to explore more of the menu – because everything I’ve tried so far has been fantastic. And if you’re reading this: drop a comment if you’ve tried The Beast yourself – for me it was a serious challenge. One thing I know for sure now: no more starters before that steak! :))”

“Food really nice staff friendly we use this place regularly Would recommend”

“Perfectly prepared food with excellent service and friendly atmosphere.”

“100% would recommend. Local Indian reasturante. Staff very friendly and the food is top quality. The level of service is what you'd expect from an Indian reasturante. No request is an issue. Amazing 5 course deal for £16 something. See pictures.”

“Top notch grub…ladies were fantastic. Ordered 2 sandwiches and honestly cannot wait to go back.”

“A fantastic pub with a great selection of delicious classic pub food. The food is reasonably priced, the seating is comfortable and the staff are super friendly, a very pleasant experience.”

“From the moment we walked in we felt very welcomed. The atmosphere at Baltic Pearl is so cozy and inviting, perfect for a special evening out. The food and service was absolutely outstanding; the dishes was cooked to perfection and the flavors were incredibly fresh and balanced. The unlimited salad and deserts surpassed us and that was amazing offer. We will definitely be back. Thank you ❤️”

“Went for Sunday lunch with the 2 grandchildren. Got the Sunday set menu. Starters and roast with extra sides. It was fabulous. Food-great, staff-great, service-great, atmosphere-great. The kids meals are massive. I will be back. Xx”

“Well searching for a decent chippy and came across this one with great reviews so click clunk I was on my way. As I parked up at the back the doors where open and I could see the chefs With there's woks busily cooking and others running about busy. Ordered the hot and sour soup as usual as I hunt for the holy grail of hot and sour soups. And this comes close. It has that dark smokey look and taste I love , with loads meats and vegetables in . And wasn't sickly sweet like most others.Very tasty. Chicken Shenzuan was lovely and spicy with lots of fresh baby corn. Carrots and green peppers and onion. The chicken was real chicken and there was lots of it. Big chunks , these guys aren't stingy on the meat. Very satisfied with this meal. And once I mixed it with the tasty fried rice and excellent chips crispy on the outside fluffy in the middle it was a very decent meal indeed. The half roast duck with a lovely hoisin sauce tub was meaty and came with plenty of cucumber and lemongrass but I felt this veg was not fresh . The cucumber had no moisture in the bite. Probably been in fridge for a long time. But these guys were busy and ran of their feet so no harm done . Only negatives about coming here ...it looked like a scene out of shameless outside. Lads with tattoos on face and dogs on and off the leads lead , shouting and lager in hand. Will be back”

“Pizzas are the best around they look exactly like the pics. Hot, tasty, and fast service. New favourite takeaway.”

“Absolutely fantastic chippy with great food, good offers and amazing friendly staff. Always more than happy to help and incredibly quick to sort phone orders too. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and would recommend to anyone.”

“Absolutely banging butties from here bacon sausage n egg is amazing. Friendly staff n all. Never had a bad one from here”

“Had a great visit here. Food was really nice, served hot, tasted great and was good value for money. Nice drinks selection and not overly priced like a lot of places. The service made our visit though. Charlotte our waitress was fantastic. She was happy, smiley, polite and went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. She even came back after we had our meals to ensure everything was OK. The restaurant was busy and she was running round all over the place ( a great employee, just what a busy pub needs). Look forward to our next visit.”

“Felt like a proper, independent British put with home made food. Small but high quality menu with vegetarian options, nice interior and really friendly staff. Recommended the roast, vegetarian nut roast was really good. Cute farm shop outside too. Roughly £30 for a main and two pints.”

“Food was piping hot on delivery, kebab meat was cooked to perfection and very generous portions, delivery guy was beyond polite and I found it very well priced. Was my first time ordering from here and it certainly will not be my last, when I want a kebab this will be my future regular place.”

“I ordered a vanilla milkshake from this wonderful place and it tasted perfect! The drink was so dreamy I wish I bought 2. Would 100% order again!”

“We loved every single moment . The staff made christmas delightful without the stresses of cooking and dishes . It was our 1st time eating out on christmas day and will for sure 100% be back next year ! We didn't have any issues, though, a few comments to be made regarding choices for the gluten-free menu, which I have raised already with GK, though it didn't dampen our days . The 0% was a delightful treat, and we were so glad we felt like we were 100% enjoying the christmas spirits . All snr staff were happy and delightful as always . Id 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone and especially if you're thinking of eating out christmas day !”
