After looking on trip advisor the revues for simply French were quite encouraging, but whether it was a really bad day at the office or a one off for them I just don't know . As we entered the restaurant we were greeted by the tank full of condemned lobsters ( doesn't bother me but some may take affence )... More

Quite Simply French isn't really the place to go on a student budget, but since they run a happy (half) hour where certain things on the menu are half price, me and two student friends decided to treat ourselves. Ringing up to book our table, the male who answered was very attentive, welcoming and took his time answering our questions.... More

My wife and I drop in for an "early bird" meal at QSF frequently. When we do the staff are invariably welcoming and the atmosphere is generally lively. There are good menu options for the fastidious gastronome, the trencherman and even those with extreme SDRs. The house red is a steal at the price we last paid. The service is... More

Found this restaurant on an internet search and was not disappointed. It is located on the quayside and very comfortable and intimate inside. We had the frogs legs kiev and they were great...a previous reviewer was surprised to find them 'battered' and with a bone...for goodness' sake! They were breadcrumbed like a kiev...not battered... and delicious. My husband had the... More

If there's something I can't stand when it comes to dining out, it's when a venue overrates itself. I believe that Quite Simply French does this. My salmon was burnt and my frogs legs (covered in batter - ugh, I detest batter) still had bones in them! I wasn't expected that something tiny, parcelled in batter, would still have bones... More

Went to QSF as a last minute, they were busy but found space for us. Just the right level of service speed and conversation, not enough to interrupt the flow of our conversation but quick enough that we didn't feel things needed to be cleared quicker. Ambience was perfect, not too noisy even with a full house. Food was lovely,... More

Went to Simply French on a Saturday evening with my husband for a meal after having some vouchers bought for us for xmas. Was really looking forward to the evening as last time really enjoyed it (Sunday night). We were initially disappointed with the menu, it was by no means extensive and very limited. Could not find any starters really... More
