This is the third time we've been here and the food has been pretty good every time! Every time we take the kids 4/6 and they are able to tear a place up if they want to. The service here is good and they are spoken to like customers and not like pesky kids, i like that. The Sousou breakfast... More

And at very reasonable prices too. The coffee is consistently excellent. The wine list will not disappoint. The friendly, smiling and prompt service is a hallmark of Madame Sousou...staff who enjoy their work is... More

Madame Sou Sou was the perfect place to share Sunday brunch with friends. The atmosphere was great - buzzing with conversation, great music and exuding an invigorating energy. The food was very good as was the service. Luckily we booked ahead as it is a very popular spot. The breakfast menu is extensive, and no calorie is spared in the... More

Indoor and out door seating (great for people watching), this French style Bistro has breakfast/brunch nailed. Excellent coffee and a crowd pleasing range of breakfasts with all the classics and then some (eg. light corn fritters) - all perfectly cooked to order with great flavours. Soft scrambled, mix and match? no problem. Quality produce cooked well. Strongly recommend trying the... More

I was treated to a night out here by my other half. The food was beautiful, classic French with lots of butter and fatty badness. We were seated in a side room with lots of interesting things to look at on the walls. We were served by a nice French girl who helped me choose a gorgeous Alsace Pinot Blanc... More

Good coffee and cool French atmosphere and decor, but some staff were quite surly and there were not very many nice desserts in the afternoon. Value for money OK.
