    Amazing food & great atmosphere. A rare find hidden away between all the curry houses. The escargot & confit de canard with thym fumant (smoked thyme) are both absolutely divine, a must try ❤️

    Get the Bobo breakfast for a more interesting and still very delicious breakfast and do go for a dessert! The Creme brûlée was so creamy and the pear tart was perfect!

    Perfect little french bistro with such a cozy atmosphere and hearty french fare. Love the garlicky snails here and the tatare de boeuf is also yummy.

    Goat cheese and beet salad. Absolutely best thing ever- not a leafy green salad but lovely soft goat cheese with beets. Confit duck on the salty side but wonderful. Creme brûlée and chocolate cake

    You would not expect this cute restaurant in between curry houses. The food quality is high as well as the friendly service, prices are very reasonable as well. Can definitely recommend this place.

    Fabulous little restaurant. Great food but preferably go for dinner. Very accommodating and lovely staff. The street is rather sketchy and unpleasant, but the restaurant is worth it

    I went to Chez Elles on Sunday, following a review from the Guardian and it was a very lovely discovery! I came with all my family and we loved the cosy athmosphere.

    The place is cosy. We ordered mussels and duck confic and a nice scolop starter. The duck is tender meat. But mussels still had dust inside. They pretend that don't have WiFi and although they do have

    This place rocks. It's small cosy and definitely French. If they have specials, get them. What a gem in such an odd location.

    Ristorante carino con personale gentile. Si mangia bene ma ha prezzi un po' superiori alla media.
