I have eaten the French onion soup many times at la Fourchette and I believe its by far the best onion soup I've eaten outside of France and also do many of my friends, so anyone who uses trip advisor for advice on places to eat, you should disregard the last review as its not a fair reflection of the...

The restaurant seemed okay from the outside, but once inside it lacked atmosphere. The tables were tired and sticky, the menus had food stains and splashed drink marks on them. Service was okay, the guy was polite and friendly just not very well presented - his clothes did not look very professional. The three other people I was traveling with... More

Visited with my daughter using a living social voucher. Had pork belly and lamb, which was delicious. Well presented restaurant with excellent friendly staff. It had a comprehensive menu to suit everyone. Couldn't fault it and would recommend it without hesitation. Superb! More

Totnes has lots of very nice restaurants but this one is REALLY good! The whole restaurant is lovely, fantastic food, polite friendly staff and has a great atmosphere. I have visited lunchtime and evenings and I really can’t fault anything. I would highly recommend La Fourchette to anyone looking for great food and drink in the area. More

My fourth visit to La Fourchette and I've now had everything from just a coffee to a three course meal. Very authentic wood panelled room with central light well & staircase. Warm welcome from staff who are knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. The food is excellent and the daily Plat du Jour very good value at £9.95 including a... More

As it was our first trip to Totnes we were unsure where to eat. We're very happy that we chose a great place. We were given a free taster of their 'wine of the week' upon arrival which was lovely. The food was excellent. I'm lactose intolerant and always find it a bit tricky in restaurants, but I must say... More

We had dinner at La Fourchette, as we had found a deal online, so thought we'd have a night's stay in Totnes, too! The food was excellent, cannot praise it enough, & the waiter was so friendly & attentive. We had a bottle of the house wine, which was fine. We dine out regularly & I can honestly say, this... More

A friendly, well priced brasserie with a good choice of French favourites. Food was excellent and house wines were fine. If we were locals we would certainly use it regularly! More

It's been a while since we've dined out at La Fourchette, and we were interested to see if they had maintained their very high standards. But we needn't have worried. If anything, the place has improved. We had the scallops, cooked to perfection and nicely presented with an array of subtle flavours. I had the Beef Wellington and my wife... More
