French restaurant in Northampton

“Thank you for making my birthday experience the best yet. Keira was a superstar providing excellent customer service to me and my friends. I will be going here again for the top quality food and drinks in the future. Highly recommend the jerk wings as the small plate and jerk salmon!”

“This is the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. The service was amazing, and every course tasted so good. It was honestly the best meal I’ve ever had. You really need to try this place. I highly recommend it!”

“This restaurant is lovely the staff are amazing and the food is fantastic. Large portion sizes but the food is so tasty!”

“This is one of the best full English breakfasts I’ve had! All quality ingredients, served swiftly and with a smile and genuine warmth cooked to perfection from the chefs at the open kitchen. Couldn’t ask for anything more! Oh and the coffee is really good too (and we are total coffee snobs!)”

“I loved our meal here. Such a great restaurant. The atmosphere is nice and the decor lovely. The staff make you feel welcome and are professional. Most of all the food is superb. Wonderful Italian small plates”

“Been here several times. Tonight we were served by the phenomenal Denisa. She was brilliant! Polite, attentive, good sense of humour and professional! The food as always beautifully presented and absolutely yummy. We brought our friends with us tonight and we were not disappointed! Everyone left happy and full.”

“Visited French Affaire for a birthday breakfast and it was my first visit. The dishes were delivered to our table quickly and were really tasty. I had an oat flat white which was also very nice! I’d definitely recommend a visit.”

“Had dinner in Buffalo mid-week. We didn’t have a reservation. We got a table straight away. The restaurant was busy. Our server, Shah was very helpful and explore menu and suggested some dishes to meet our requirements. The menu had a great selection of dishes. We especially enjoyed the spinach and feta in filo pastry and the prawns. For the main the braised lamb shank and the moussaka were enjoyed. Mehmet was very helpful and checked in with us throughout the meal to ensure we were enjoying our meal. This is an excellent restaurant with good value for money and friendly staff. Highly recommended.”

“Great service, awesome flavours @ a good price. The quality of the service made us feel special. My boys loved it”

“Staff Friendly, food ok, drink only can order as bottle instead of glasses, but everything still alright. Some people will celebrate their birthday here, birthday songs provided.”

“We are regulars here at Ying Lung. We really enjoy it and find it's the best in Northampton. The only thing I wish they did was accept cards for payments but a lot of Chinese takeaways are cash only so this isn't unique to Ying Lung, and the food makes up for it!”

“The prawn and chorizo special was really good. The service was friendly and helpful and the owner remembered us from last year. There were four of us and three of us enjoyed our pancakes, the other one enjoyed a sausage dish. This time two of us had waffles for dessert. All I can say is, really nice but maybe next time I'll see if someone wants to share.”

“Absolutely sensational meal.. Catering for 22 of us. Lovely food served piping hot and all together.. The FOH Staff and the kitchen crew deserve medals.. Possibly my meal of the year.. Great work!!”

“Had a fantastic dinner here! The mix platter with rice for two was absolutely delicious, and we enjoyed the dishes a lot. The service was great too — thank you, Irum, you were the star of the evening! Highly recommended.”

“The food are so delicious and appealing, you can taste the traditional flavor from Turkey, and the service offered by Florida is soooooo brilliant and so sweet of her, love this place, highly recommend!”

“I absolutely love this pub! It is a little out of the way for me, but well worth the drive. The setting of the pub when sat outside the front on a summers day is absolutely perfect!”

“We had a lovely experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with rustic walls, soft lighting, and charming decorations that make the place feel both elegant and relaxed. The table was nicely set with candles and festive confetti, adding a celebratory touch to the evening. The service felt attentive and pleasant — we were able to enjoy our drinks comfortably and take our time. The wine and beer were nicely presented, and the overall vibe made it easy to unwind and enjoy good company. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for a relaxed dinner, a date night, or celebrating something special. Warm ambiance, nice presentation, and a comfortable setting — we had a great time. This plate makes a strong first impression. The steak looks beautifully seasoned, with a generous crust of cracked pepper and a nice sear that suggests it was cooked on high heat to lock in flavor. The sides are inviting and well-balanced. The roasted potatoes look crisp and golden, while the mixed vegetables — broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots — bring color and a healthier counterpoint to the richness of the steak. They appear roasted rather than steamed, which gives them a more flavorful, caramelized finish. The sauce served in a small metal boat adds an elegant restaurant-style presentation. Its creamy texture hints at a peppercorn based sauce. A glass of beer in the background completes the meal perfectly.”

“Absolutely delicious staff, very friendly and helpful food! Joking aside, this was the best French onion soup I've had, perfectly sized portions, and a fast friendly service. Parked across the road too, very convenient. Highly recommend.”

“If you are looking for a Sunday lunch with a choice of meat or veg options, giant yorkshires, crispy roast potatoes, plenty of gravy cauliflower cheese and a great selection of veg….this is your place. I have visited corner 5 many times for lunch and dinner, today on a Sunday and I am devastated I have missed out on so many Sundays now I’ve been once. It was delicious. And we were treated to some very skilled wake boarders doing tricks too.”

“Food always tastes fresh and is always delicious! The staff are friendly and a nice atmosphere”

“Outstanding food consistently over the many years we have dined there. Great service too. Thank you.”

“What a great experience. A night out with the lads was not a disappointment. From the traditional Turkish food to the array of drinks on offer. Music throughout and an unexpected, but entertaining belly dance show. There was also lots of happy birthday vibes with the staff playing a Turkish drum and getting everyone involved in the celebrations. Do not miss out!”

“This was our first experience at Cromwell Cottage. We enjoyed everything about our time here. Our food was cooked perfectly for us - hot, fresh & the steaks to our preference. Staff were attentive, professional, friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Atmosphere was relaxed & happy. Myself & my husband were able to have a conversation without having to shout across the table to each other. We will definitely visit again in the future.”

“Went to the Four Pears for a business lunch yesterday and had an amazing steak! It was cooked to perfection and the only problem was I wanted more! I had to leave for a meeting but the person I was with had a sticky toffee pudding that he said was divine. Definitely go here if you haven’t already.”

“Great burgers, great chips and Wings. The quirky menu is awesome. The servings are large and the service is great, order through the app or via the lovely wait-staff. Highly recommend the alcoholic milkshakes. It's a great place, quirky, lil bit rustic and good prices.”

“I absolutely love this place! The food is beyond delicious—every bite is full of amazing flavors. The service is top-notch; the staff is so friendly and makes you feel truly welcome. It’s one of those places where you feel at home from the moment you walk in. If you’re looking for great food, a cozy atmosphere, and fantastic service, this is the place to be! Can’t wait to come back!”

“Popped in for early evening food. Had the platter which was huge, enough for breakfast this morning! Good, tasty food and friendly helpful staff.”

“Excellent service. Very tasty food. Wide choice. Prompt and attentive waiters.”

“Neat and clean cafe on Bedford high street. Prices are reasonable, food is amazing, variety of food and drinks to choose from and most importantly staff is really welcoming.”

“Always loved it here, been going for years! The ‘good’s under 600 calories meals’ part of the menu is so good if you are on a training plan or want a healthier option. The portion sizes are amazing and the deserts are top tier! Staff are lovely, couldn’t fault it at all”
