We went to Bistro Monparnasse for a special Birthday celebration on 14th September. The restaurant was busy and every table had been booked, no surprise for a Saturday evening. You select where you would like to sit on arrival, depending on what is available for your booking number. The restaurant has a lovely ambience and, despite being full, was not noisy at all. As we were seated the waitress brought us a chive and cream cheese (minI) muffin and a paprika biscuit with goats cheese filling - these were lovely. We were asked if we would like drinks so ordered a peach champagne cocktail each. The waitress then provided a bread basket for us to choose (as much as we would like) we had one piece each of a herb bread and a walnut and raisin bread (so good!). The service was very brisk, which would be my only criticism (and hence why I did not give it 5 stars). We had barely started our cocktails when our starters arrived. We both had seared scallops, which were divine. During our starters the wine we had ordered arrived, even though we had still barely touched our cocktails. Our starters were collected and we continued to sip our cocktails. All too soon, our mains arrived, so we had to drink red wine and cocktails, not ideal. We both had the Lamb which, again, was superb. The presentation, attention to detail and the flavours were sensational. This is very high quality food at a very reasonable price. We were too full for puddings, which looked gorgeous. My advice would be to ask for slower service, unless you like your food to be delivered quickly between starters, mains and puddings.I will definitely return but will be a bit forewarned with the need to delay the speed of service.

We ate on a Thursday evening, a group of 8 ladies.We all had a super meal. the ambiance is lovely - I love the French theme. The menu was varied and a large choice.I went for the beef bourguignon with creamy mash. It was absolutely delicious - so rich and flavorsome with melt-in-the-mouth beef.For dessert I had the chocolate moose which was also very good,how a proper moose should be.The prices are very reasonable - most of our group had a set menu which was very good value for 2 or 3 courses with steak being their main choice.Service was friendly and efficient - great meal. Thanks!
