La Bastide

La Bastide is truly another hidden gem. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful—romantic and cosy whether you’re dining indoors or outside. The food is nothing short of superb. Every dish tastes as though it’s made with love, using fresh, authentic ingredients. We savoured every bite and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable French dining experience.

For entrees we had the canard de foie gras parfait and the steak tartare. Both were presented nicely and appetising, but the parfait was the stand out. It came with a side of warm brioche that was soft and fluffy and complemented it really well. The steak could’ve done with a little bit of salt and the chips kept breaking, so I just ended up crushing them up and mixing it in with the tartare. It was still good though! For mains we had the wagin farm magret de canard (duck) and the veal special. Both dishes were done well, it was delicious. The service is really welcoming, friendly and attentive. The wine list is extensive. Would definitely recommend this for a date night spot or special occasion. Would also recommend dining outside. The area is enclosed, heated, a little quieter and nicer with the lights. Inside area is a bit cramped and can get noisy.

Came here with a group of work friends. We had a wonderful time. The food was incredible. The duck was so tender, the steak frites was amazing, and the crème brûlée was the perfect end to a wonderful dining experience. The evening felt like such a treat (a special thank you to the chef Tim!). The service was attentive and we were very much looked after.

We came here for a birthday dinner for my mother in law. The staff were friendly and the mains were enjoyable. Wine and mocktails were good too. Nice touch singing happy birthday also. This place would get 5 stars if it made a few small changes. Charging for filtered tap water seems unnecessary and leaves a slightly bitter taste. Also the way they offer the truffle is misleading. They come round offering some on your meal without disclosing that it’s 15 dollars extra per person at the time and then you see a charge at the end on the bill. It’s not about the money, it’s just the lack of transparency that left us feeling frustrated. If they’d explained the extra cost at the time of offering, i wouldn’t have minded in the slightest. overall it’s an authentic french experience as it reminds of Paris… enjoyable but you leave feeling ever so slightly ripped off.

Last Friday, we ordered Steak & French fries (lunch set 2 course) and unfortunately I found what appeared to be a fried bug mixed in with the food. When we brought it to the staff’s attention, the chef insisted it wasn’t a bug — but potato’s root! (Like really even my 10yo said it’s a bug! from the photo I showed him) Then they decided to compliment the dish. Regardless of explanation, this was extremely off-putting and raises serious concerns about food hygiene. Mistakes can happen, but how they’re handled makes a big difference. I didn’t feel the issue was taken seriously. Hoping the kitchen takes a closer look at quality control going forward. I won’t be returning.

Beautiful French cafe with great food, friendly and warm service and they've created a wonderful environment that makes you feel like you're in Europe. Dog friendly in the courtyard too. Highly recommend the chips, burrata salad, steak tartare, mushrooms, cheesecake... Everything really! Spend an afternoon reading in the courtyard with a glass of wine. Addit: back again and the food is amazing!!! Love the cauliflower and burrata salad!

If you’re looking for an exquisite French dining experience that combines rich flavors, impeccable service, and a charming atmosphere, Restaurant La Bastide is a must-visit. From the moment I walked through the door, I knew I was in for something special. This restaurant beautifully captures the essence of French country dining with a modern twist, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots. The ambiance at La Bastide is warm and inviting, yet undeniably sophisticated. The restaurant is designed with rustic, elegant touches that transport you to the heart of Provence.

The service at La Bastide was outstanding. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like valued guests.

She took the time to explain the menu in detail, offering great wine pairings and making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. It’s clear that the staff here is well-trained, and their dedication to making every guest feel comfortable and special shines through.

My husband and I had such a wonderful night here. Their food is another level. What an experience!!! If you are looking for a special place to celebrate come to Le Bastide. Thank you for making our first wedding anniversary so good!
