Great food and brilliant service. Would have like to have seen a veggie/vegan option that wasn't mushrooms.

We always love our trips to Frou Frou. We have been going for years and have never been disappointed by the food or the service. I need gluten free food and there are always loads of delicious options. They stock a large range of gins, now with lots of West country ones (I am updating this review in Oct 2021). Looking forward to our next visit .

My wife and I managed an evening without the children recently, and decided to go out for dinner and try Frou Frou for the first time. We were not disappointed in any way - fantastic cocktails, fabulous food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere. Very very nice all round & we’ll definitely be back!

Great little bistro! Friendliest staff ever. Because of unscheduled road closures, we were 40 mins late - of course I let them know. But they kept our table and were charming when we did arrive. Decent menu and the food was delicious and well presented. Then, at the end of meal, I managed to leave my bank card on my seat. The brill waitress came running quite a way after us with it. Really impressed. So we came back again tonight! Highly recommended.
