À la Russe

Such a lovely restaurant. Friendly staff. Amazing classic French menu. Good wine list. The food was outstanding. Highlights for me were the foie gras creme brulee starter...I love foie gras but never tasted anything like that before. And get the crepe Suzette for dessert, great theatre and a delicious and surprisingly light end to an amazing meal. Will definitely be back.

This restaurant couldn’t be more authentically French. From the charming French waitstaff to the wine selection, the exquisite food, and the elegant decor. The ambience felt warm and welcoming, with soft lighting, tasteful artwork, and classic French touches that added a sense of intimacy. The menu offered a fantastic selection of traditional French dishes. I started with the escargot, which was buttery and garlicky in the best way, followed by a beautifully cooked Pousin that was tender and full of flavour. Service was impeccable; the staff were attentive without being intrusive and truly seemed to enjoy sharing their passion for French cuisine. Every dish was perfectly executed, and I left feeling like I’d experienced a little piece of France right here. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic French dining experience. I'll definitely be back!

We were staying in Windsor after a long and late flight from Australia on Monday night - and stumbled upon this place - what a delight. Excellent menu, delicious food, expertly served - with a fantastic wine cellar. This place had the charm of a traditional French restaurant but in a contemporary setting - and exceptionally friendly staff. Some unique touches like preparing steak Diane and flambéing at your table. Will definitely re visit on our next trip to Windsor. It’s not cheap but we thoroughly enjoyed our evening so I consider it great value - highly recommend.

What a fabulous experience! After visiting the Castle and seeing the picturesque small town of Eton we fancied a French meal. We were not disappointed! Our staters were classic escargot in the shell and roasted octopus with strawberry purée and lightly fried gnocchi (the daily special). Both were excellent and we were so pleased we both (my spouse and I) had ear to ear smiles after we finished that course. For our mains my wife had the bacon wrapped pork roulade and I had the duck breast with stewed strawberries in on orange infused sauce that was to die for. The duck breast was perfectly cooked to a rare temperature and was so tender the knife seemed superfluous. The skin was crispy and the fat was expertly rendered to reveal a taste that pleased my palate to no end. It was accompanied by potatoes dauphinase cooked with just the right amount of garlic and cream. My dish was paired with a glass of negramarro primativo from apulia , recommended by our fantastic server, Michael. He, and the other staff were experts at their craft who never hovered but were there the moment we needed them. Our deserts were marvelous as well. My wife had the "Eton Mess" which was chantilly cream, strawberries and meringue in a chalice , very much like a deconstructed pavlova, out of this world taste! I had a simple affogato that ended what we both agreed was the best meal we have had 5 weeks into our 7 week vacation. The wonderful staff, led by an incredible expert chef are to be commended for a spectacular culinary experience. We will come back and we will pass the word, if you are in Eton you must eat there, not to be missed!! I only wish I took more photos but I was so busy eating I forgot, Mia culpa.

A La Russe was recommended to us to try during our short break in Windsor. We were greeted with warmth and made extremely welcome despite my dietary requirements necessitating that many dishes would have to be modified for me. Nothing was any trouble and all dishes and drinks were a delight. We enjoyed the steak and duck mains so much that we returned the following evening when we both had the halibut which was equally delicious. The starters and spectacular desserts were all of a similar high quality with excellent flavours in abundance. The service throughout was a joy; friendly, helpful and always attentive without being too much. If we lived closer we would definitely be very regular customers. We cannot recommend A La Russe highly enough. Thanks for 2 lovely memorable meals and hugely enjoyable evenings.

Been a while .... but worth the wait! Right, so we could have gone for the 'Lunch Special' menu, awesome! But we went the other way!!! Look, you will not find a better traditional French lunch menu, for £19, in Windsor .... fact! We went off lunch menu, ok! But .... what we had and saw come out was awesome! Oh, and the wine menu is somewhat.... GOOD!

This a proper French restaurant. We booked the table in advance as its always busy. Tables are clean, we had a table for four. Pleasant staff and efficient service. Very enjoyable evening, delicious bread & butter. The rabbit was particularly good. All food served were perfectly cooked and delicious.

Came here during a busy Saturday lunchtime. Good choice of starters and mains and a decent wine list. Cooked to perfection and beautifully presented, we enjoyed our meals thoroughly. The restaurant itself is quite small and has low lighting but we will definitely return.
