La Poole was a new restaurant to us. A VERY attractive restaurant.The service from Ratana was outstanding. Lamb and a seafood linguini fabulous. We shall be back many, many times. A perfect dinner. Thank you.
Absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection.
Outstanding service and exceptional food!
I don’t often write reviews, however the exceptional service and outstanding standard of our meal made it impossible not to write a review.
From the moment we walked in, we were attended to immediately and greeted with a warm hello and smile.
The guy was beyond brilliant, attentive, helpful, friendly, efficient and delivered on the smallest of details to make it a wonderful evening.
The food recommendation was on point, and our food was of the highest quality and presentation.
I honestly could not fault this place.
I know it’s been such a struggle for businesses after Covid so I wanted to write this review, to encourage anyone wanting to support a wonderful business and enjoy a brilliant experience, to come and experience this place.
You won’t be disappointed!!
Warm the cockles …
I’ve been wanting to try this little local for a while now, and after another dinner booking last night went awry, I called La Poele and they were able to fit us in. We were after something a bit special and our wish was granted in spades! We were guided through the atmospheric downstairs section, which was full, and taken to a cosy, homely upstairs dining room. We only went for main course, simply because we didn’t feel like more than one course. I went for the lamb, which was a generous portion of rack, on top of an equally generous mound of mash, with a crispy shard of well seasoned kale and a blob of delicious condiment. My sister chose the Black Angus steak, which was also cooked to perfection and accompanied by a decent serving of fries. The service was impeccable and we couldn’t have been happier. I can’t wait to return!
A truly fine dining in a friendly atmosphere
The whole experience was amazing, delicious European food, relaxing ambience, and friendly service.
A meal to remember
Our experience at La Poêle was definitely one to remember. The atmosphere, staff and food were all fantastic and made this a comfortable and enjoyable place to meet with friends.
An excellent experience
Our meal at La Poele was a delight. From the moment we walked in, we were looked after so well by the team. The food was outstanding and we really enjoyed the Peach dessert in particular. A true neighbourhood gem.
Every Plate is Superb
Modern French Cuisine at it's very best. My friend and I ate here on 29/04/21 for her significant birthday. We drooled and savoured each course (3) with delight and joy. We felt and tasted 'the love' from Jaysen's kitchen. Well priced and a lovely wine list. Our Maitre'D was courteous but not very attentive (our only 'not so good'). Recommend that you try for yourself!
